Getting into University of Central Florida. Or a good University period

<p>In the past my Freshman, and Sophomore year I just barley made it through, with D's and C's SOMETIMES C's I don't even know the GPA I had then, but Im sure it totally sucked. </p>

<p>I was then hit with a reality check my junior year, I made goals, and actually gave it my all because I didn't want to fail in life. </p>

<p>I passed all of my graduation required test, I struggled with the last two years my Junior year, and I became a straight A student. I was in regular classes though, I'm going to be in Honors this Senior year. </p>

<p>Though I started doing well I didn't realize late how my first two high school years were actually still reflecting on me. (I was never ever a behavior issue, just school work) </p>

<p>My weighted is now high 2. something but ever since I got all A's my GPA during the year was 4.0 </p>

<p>Could I get accepted into a University still? For example my dream colleges University of South Florida, and University of Central Florida? </p>

<p>You know… Universities that like to use hollistic admissions actually view that improvement with good eyes. It shows a lot about a student who went from mediocre to excellence out of pure determination, so I wouldn’t see that as in issue. Focus on your senior year, try to take some AP’s but without burdening yourself and finally take the SATs. Get a reasonable score on it, and you’ll be in UCF, I guarantee you :smiley: . Good luck, and congrats so far for your improvement.</p>

<p>Just like AGoodFloridian said, your improvement is astounding and congratulations!
Write a great essay and have it looked at by many people, also for your recommendation, get a teacher who has seen your improvement and has talked to you enough to know what you are interested in, etc. You definitely need to take the SAT or ACT to get into college so look into that soon.
UCF is a good school for you and I feel like if you keep working hard that you’d get a chance of getting in!
Good luck!!! :smiley:
Chance me back? </p>
