Chances at UCF

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Wondering on my chances of getting in.</p>

<p>I had a very low GPA my first two years of high school, I was having a variety of troubles...They were all in the 2.0-2.5 range. I explained what happend in my essay and how I have improved. Last year I began my crawl to improvment with a 3.3 weighted GPA and started taking AP classes. This year I have a 4.1 weighted for the first semester and I am taking two AP classes and other hard classes like Honors Physics and such. All of it appears on my transcripts.</p>

<p>Two reccomendations so far, one counselor (reccomendation form) very high marks, one from a teacher. Hoping to get one more. My counselor focused on my improvment.</p>

<p>E.C. are varsity volleyball, varsity football, robotics club, film club and I have held a job. Would have done more clubs, but hopefully they know how much time a sport consumes...especially football.</p>

<p>CR and math combine sat score was a 1210</p>

<p>Applied for the summer of course. Hopefully they notice my strong upward trend (crap to AP ) If there is a time in the world decides to show me that anything is possible now would be the best. I also have florida prepaid, not sure if that helps in the app process but it does show that I can pay for at least four years worth</p>

<p>You might, my sister’s SAT was 200 points lower than yours and she got accepted but she kept above a 4.0 all four years and took some AP classes.</p>

<p>Thanks, anyone else?</p>

<p>Blue - your gpa is low for them, but they should notice the upward trend. As I understand the admissions process at many schools, they use a formula for an academic index. The academic index is a combo of your SAT or ACT and GPA. If your gpa is on the low side, you can make up for it with a higher SAT/ACT score. They also give credit for upward trends.</p>

<p>Can you retake the SAT and boost your score? I think they do consider the writing section of the SAT now. What is your SAT with the writing score?</p>

<p>You have a great score and great involvement, but any gpa under like a 3.4 unweighted and your in trouble. Goodluck</p>

<p>possibly, but the GPA is the problem. You never know with these college admissions Anyway if there were past problems, they DO take things like that into consideration. </p>

<p>Did you apply yet?</p>
