<p>Overall, I applied to UCF 2014 Summer Term and was deferred.</p>

<p>I applied to UCF maybe in the beginning of December, and yesterday i checked my application status and it said I was deferred. I freaked out once I saw that i was deferred, and I'm not totally sure onto why I was deferred when many others from my school were accepted with much lower GPA/test scores and little involvement. </p>

<p>My Stats include:
Unweighted GPA: 3.37
Weighted GPA: 4.19
SAT: 1640/2400 & 1070/1600
ACT: 23 (but recently I got a 24, which I feel wouldn't make a difference)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Key Club
Best Buddies
HOSA
Stand Up To Cancer
Relay for Life
Technical Theatre</p>

<p>Community Service:
250+ Service Hours volunteering at my local hospital
Soup Kitchens
School Activities</p>

<p>(FL Resident)</p>

<p>Honestly, what are the chances of me actually being accepted to UCF? I just really want to get into college (this will be my second deferral right after my FSU one).</p>

<p>P.S: I'm new to CC so disregard any mistakes :)</p>

<p>We have very similar stats and from doing research i have read very misleading and diferent answers </p>

<p>I would think its sorta slim but idk. They said quoting from ucf officer that 30% make it off the derferred list and are offered admission</p>

<p>I’m wondering-- Would an out-of-state student with similar stats (who was also deferred) have a slightly better chance of getting in over a FL resident? I wonder if any “geographic diversity” could help that student.</p>

<p>Your test scores are below the average. Most accepted students are from Florida, so I don’t believe OOS person with same stats would have any advantage. If you can take test again and improve that would probably help.</p>

<p>Hello. I am currently a freshman at UCF.</p>

<p>I was deferred for Fall 2013
ACT: 25
GPA: 3.4</p>

<p>I am out of state and was told only 5% of out of state students are accepted. I kept in contact with the school and sent an email to UCF Trustee Ray Gilley. I explained my life history, major projects I have worked on, and that I was hoping to attend UCF. He replied and he forwarded my email to the Chief of Staff at UCF. Within ten minutes of that email being received, I was accepted. I would encourage people to reach out. Don’t beg or whine to get in, just explain who you are and why you want to attend.</p>

<p>I then received an out of state tuition waiver three weeks into the semester but do not know if it was connected to the email I sent.</p>

<p>It can happen!</p>
