Chances of getting into the University of Central Florida (UCF)?

Applying to College
1

<p>I applied October 26th for fall 2012
I have:
GPA:
3.68 unweighted.
3.864 weighted.
Class rank 34 of 500.</p>

<p>Graduate with 24 college credits through Dual Enrollment (math, science, english, history.)
Another dual enrollment I do is at the technical center next door to my high school for Digital Design ( I want to double major in Advertising and Graphic Design.) </p>

<p>I only have one C on my transcript, from freshmen year. Every year my grades improved more and more.</p>

<p>Classes I've taken.
Freshman:
Algebra 1-A/B
Eng 1- B/C
Health/PE- A/A
Integrated Science- B/B
Intro to social science- A/A
Spanish II- A/B

<p>Junior:

Honors Math Analysis/Trig- A/A

<p>Now:

(As of now all my grades are A's, except for the 89% in comp!)</p>

<p>As of now, I have 150 community service hours. </p>

<p>I have really bad ADHD, and I've done awful on the testing.
ACT 22
SAT- 1310 (I didn't get near finishing, and I couldn't guess on them, and I didn't know that they go sent to UCF until after they received them)
I applied for extended timing on the ACT, but didn't get it because of several reasons, like my grades "showing no sign of a struggle." </p>

<p>Extra Cirr:
Key Club- 2 years (Editor right now)
Boys' Varsity Swim team- 4 years, (Captain this year)
"Pirate Peers"-Mentoring- 3 years
Student Government-2 years
Mu-Alpha-Theta- 2 years
National Honor Society- 2 years
National Art Honor Society- 1 year
"Pirate Crew"-Spirit Club- 4 years</p>

<p>Lots of awards, i won't list them all, but stuff from athletics to academics.</p>

<p>Job since freshman year.
I'm Hispanic. </p>

<p>And the 150 hours of community service, in many things from tutoring to UNICEF. </p>

<p>And my essays for UCF were great, i rewrote them like 5 times, and my teacher who never says anything is perfect said, "These look perfect!"</p>

<p>So what do you think my chances look like? Because I'm under the ACT average, but my EC and GPA is looking pretty good.</p>

<p>UCF isn’t as competitive as some universities here in Florida, but it’s definitely becoming more competitive. I would say that you definitely have a chance of getting accepted at UCF. A friend of mine had decent grades/GPA, good extracurriculars, and good essays, but didn’t have the SAT scores and she got accepted for the summer term. I’m guessing you have already submitted your application but if you want a better chance of acceptance you should definitely look into the summer term. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Can you apply for summer if you don’t get into fall?</p>

<p>Spinosablack, you have to apply as a new applicant if they deny you for fall. Sometimes, but rarely ( especially this year), they’ll offer you summer. You might want to call them and see if they can switch your application for you. Because with the test scores they might not accept you. I got into summer of 2012 with a 22 act, 4.3 recalculated GPA, 15 college credits (from dual enrollment), all honors classes and 2 AP (passed one, failed one), and 100+ volunteer hours.</p>
