Does anyone know how long you can be deferred? Applied in October. Deferred in November.
4.0 GPA
SAT 1140
ACT 23
They said the test scores were the reason for being deferred and to just wait. It’s too late to re-take the tests anyways.
Any other advice?
I had a friend with a very similar SAT and GPA. He got deferred and ended up accepted for summer.
@Treakins21 I am deferred also and am waiting for a decision. I talked with the head of admissions and she said that the average ACT score is a 23 for summer. So, you will probably get accepted for the summer term. Also, I would just try to relax and hope for the best. Good Luck!
I’ve been deferred too, known for a while but am callung today after some consideration and no response through e-mail.
SAT: 1360
3.7 GPA UW
2 APs and self-studying for two AP exams. Lots of honors. Also DE at a technical college for business/legal administration.
ECs:
Student government + leadership positions
I’m a first-generation college student and work full-time to support my family. My essay was about what it was like to lose my vision at a young age, and looking at the trauma from the perspective of those around me to learn more about myself, then leading into how I have not let my disability interfere with my quality of life.
I was accepted to FSU and UF but something os up with UCF.
Whoa! You seem like you would definitely get in! I am sure you will but I would definitely call if I were you.
Has anyone who was deferred got Accepted or rejected yet??
@Lynn26 I applied back in December and still haven’t heard anything back. I have called and emailed them but I got the same response which was since it is a rolling admission they are not required to give a decision and a specific date.
@Lynn26 I applied back in October then was deferred in December pending my transcripts from fall 2017 semester. I sent them in then the week that school started back after winter break I was accepted as a junior transfer for Mechanical Engineering, with that said your deferment is a bit different then mine
@jjay43. You said you called and they don’t have to give you a desion at all if you were deferred? That’s seems rude of them
@Lynn26 I haven’t received a decision yet but when I called they said as long as everything is sent in you just have to wait as they go by a rolling admission. (I applied mid-December).
@Lynn26 My niece is still deferred. She applied in October. She called a second time and they told her she should get a response sometime before the end of the month or into March.
@Treakins21 ok thank you! Hopefully
@Treakins21. I was moved to the waitlist today. What about your niece?
@jjay43 I was moved to the waitlist today. What about you anything?
@Lynn26 No not at the moment, still no update unfortunately.
@Lynn26 Yes, she was waitlisted as well. She is super bummed.
Does anyone know who the best person to contact in the admissions office or send a letter?
Update:
I’ve been waitlisted. Oh well! I still am happy that I’ve narrowed my choices down to Flagler College and UF.
Do we know what the reality is to being waitlisted. We were moved from deferred but I don’t get it
I assume that UCF has gotten a certain number of committed students out of the ones that they have accepted, and they feel they can fill their freshman class.
Last year they took 53 kids from the waitlist and 71 from the year before. They report that they do not rank their waitlist, so it seems it is more of a lottery- another words your stats were good enough for waitlist so they don’t really look at them again (this is a guess based on what they report).
I hope this sheds some light and I wish all of you good luck!
