<p>na·ive
having or showing unaffected simplicity of nature or absence of artificiality; unsophisticated; ingenuous.
having or showing a lack of experience, judgment, or information; credulous: She’s so naive she believes everything she reads. He has a very naive attitude toward politics.<br>
having or marked by a simple, unaffectedly direct style reflecting little or no formal training or technique: valuable naive 19th-century American portrait paintings. </p>
<p>I apologize, but your naive devil may care incestuous attitude you display is quite amazing! According to the poster, he was suspended for violence and committing a battery, which is a crime. While the competition for open available freshman seats is increasingly becoming more competitive each year, do you honestly believe that the admissions committee can overlook a suspension for violence towards another fellow student ? Do you honestly believe that the original poster is completely truthful in his story ? All that I can say is that if I were a victim of a harmful battery while at school and I was punished for being the victim, I would hire an attorney !</p>
<p>I’ll give you a piece of advice; It’s not what actually occurred but what is documented !</p>
<p>You need to realize not everyone HAS the money to afford an action. Assuaging everyone does is, in itself, naive of you. He has no need to get an attorney involved, because it will put the situation is a light that’s more negative then it actually was. It was a simple situation, which can easily be solved by his counsler writing a letter, or explaining it in the essay. To get anyone else involved is simply, well, stupid. It will draw even more negative attention to the OP, which isn’t good. I do believe him, yes. Basic psychology here: the admissions board is more likely to believe the OP if he is a good student, which he is. That’s just how it is. They’d be more hesitant to believe a student who has previously been in trouble, and has horrible grades. It’s stereotyping, yes, but we’re human, and we tend to believe them. Frankly, I found your posts fairly rude, and there’s no need for you to be. You need to look at this for a ration angle, and yours isn’t.</p>
<p>Okay I get it, we don’t know if he’s telling he truth to us, but fact of the matter is we won’t ever know. As a matter of fact, you calling me naive could be hypocritical. Because when people do Chance Me’s and you look at their stats and then chance them, who’s to say that they aren’t lying about their stats? We don’t know, but on the Internet, we assume it’s the truth.</p>
<p>If ThatRandomDude wanted advice, he wouldn’t lie. And if he did lie while seeking for advice, then whatever advice he gets probably won’t help him because he didn’t seek advice for his situation.</p>
<p>Plus in regards to ThatRandomDude getting an attorney, well, what if he couldn’t get one? Fluidity explains it perfectly. </p>
<p>This is high school. ThatRandomDude made his mistake freshman year…the age of 15. He’s now at or approaching the age of 17. There is a grand amount of maturity that occurs in people between these ages because at 15, the person is still very teenager like, but at 17, they mature due to approaching adulthood. </p>
<p>I think ThatRandomDude speaks the truth because he’s here seeking advice and help. Him lying makes no sense to me. </p>
<p>If you found any offense in what I have said, I apologize. I don’t mean for any offense or argument…this is just a simple debate :)</p>
<p>I agree with the above poster who said that this incident, which happened 2 or 3 years ago, is something that happened when randomdude was younger. If he hasn’t had any trouble since I think that will reflect well.</p>
<p>Not to mention, I think that schools like UCF come across these stories more than you can imagine. If anything keeps randomdude out of UCF it will be that SAT CR Score. He should retake the SAT and explain this situation as his bump in the road.</p>
<p>To those that helped me, thank you so much for the help! </p>
<p>I feel more confident in my application now thanks to you guys. My only thing to figure out is how I should properly explain the situation that happened my freshman year so that there’s no misconceptions or confusion, but that’s something I can do on my own. TYVM SO MUCH :)</p>
<p>@InvolvedmomFL</p>
<p>I plan to focus on ACT because I feel that’s a test I can score REALLY high on; I studied for SAT but looking at the ACT, I want to first give that a shot before any SAT retakes. I know that a SAT CR of 500+ (or even a 490), will be good if the other two sections are 600+'s. That’s at least what I’ve been advised in the past.</p>
<p>So I submitted my app online and everything, but still need to pay and send my transcripts.</p>
<p>Is there anything else to send such as rec letters, etc.?</p>
<p>Also, how do they know, other than the fact I wrote it on the app, that my highest reading SAT Score is a 640 when in the one I sent them its a 620? On my first SAT it was a 620, but I didn’t submit that one to UCF</p>
<p>They only take into consideration the OFFICIAL test scores from college board, so unfortunately they will only look at the 620 until you send the other test scores. You don’t HAVE to send recommendation letters, but it helps them get to know you more as a person.</p>
<p>Congrats on completing the app! I am still doing mine.</p>
<p>I am still stuck on the “extracurricular” section. I don’t know how I should like…list my activities if that makes sense. Can someone show me how they are placing their extracurricular activities?</p>
<p>Lauren-I just did bullet points for everything, including awards and community service. I did it on a word document, and just copied and pasted onto the section. Be careful not to take too long, or have the page open, because if it’s on that page for longer then 20 minutes, it will log you out. Irritating! I’m also not done, so don’t worry. I figured bullet points would make it organized, and if you need to add addition information, I just (put everything in pathenthises).</p>
<p>I don’t write here often but I want to say: I finished! It’s the first app I’ve completed and boy does it feel good. Now comes the wait for decisions.</p>
<p>Anyone having trouble with formatting still? Personally I wrote all my ECs in Word and then pasted them into the app like WRITEfluidity did. It worked out well! So I second that method.</p>
<p>One question: </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t want to keep this topic going but, um, incestuous? What would that even mean in this context?</p>
<p>As21608-
Not only does your thread give me the encouragement to complete my
application to UCF this wonderful Sunday afternoon, but I also plan on
choosing YOU as my primary roommate ! </p>
<p>Better yet, you can spend the rest of the summer at my Key Biscayne beach house and this way we can become better acquainted. Ill show you SouthBeach and we can shop @ Saks!
Then during X-mas break, I can spend some time with you at your residence and you can teach me the finer points of drinking beer, spitting in a can and shopping at Walmart!
See you @ UCF FRIEND ! !</p>
You can’t be roommates with someone if they don’t request you back.
You don’t even know my name.</p>
<p>Also, if you think bragging to everyone about your beach house is going to impress people, you’re easily mistaken. You come off as a narcissistic ****** bag, which I do not doubt you are. If you ever came to my house over Christmas break my family would tear you apart. And for you to assume that I drink beer, spit in a can, and shop at Walmart is just ridiculously ignorant. I don’t even know what you mean by ‘spit in a can’, so you must do a lot of that, whatever it is. It’s funny because you try to come off as an arrogant rich person, but all I see is a classless twat who brags about anything and everything.</p>
<p>Correction, it’s not YOUR beach house, but your PARENTS beach house. I find you to be very rude, and very insulting. I really hope that the other students at UCF aren’t like you, because then it will not be a good experiance. I find your posts to be intended in a very mean nature, and I hope that you see how obtuse you are. You’re being very rude to her, and even assuming things about her that you do not know. I can say more, but I will stop now, because I suspect you will not be mature about this.</p>
<p>^Weary, it makes me laugh a bit. Because I know this individual is not at ALL ready for the college, let alone the real world. Based upon his attitude, I’d make an assumption that he’s a stuck up, rich boy who has never worked a day in his life, and has no clue what the real world looks like. It’s very irritating, but I choose to laugh. I know people like him fall on their ass in life, and can’t get back up.</p>
</p>
I’m also not done, so don’t worry. I figured bullet points would make it organized, and if you need to add addition information, I just (put everything in pathenthises).</p>
