<p>my d had hers sent on sept. 15th snf it dtill says waiting for transcript- it is probably sitting therre- this happened to my son two years ago and I resent them and he got accepted before they even got the second transcript- it takes time-</p>
<p>I feel like thats what happened but when I called they were pretty adamant about not having them yet. So they could still be in transit?</p>
<p>when is the last day to apply for summer?</p>
<p>There is no last day to apply for summer. You can apply for fall, or summer, at any point in the year. I would, however, aim for before december, or december at the latest.</p>
<p>I sent mine in at beginning of september, and on Sep 20th it was still showing that they didn’t receive my transcripts. I called them to ask, and they said they received them on the 13th and when i checked after i called they updated my status. So if they still haven’t received your transcripts (and you believe they should have) CALL THEM, it took 5 min.</p>
<p>Write, just a suggestion- you should always apply to a <em>safety</em> school. I know UCF is your dream school and whatnot, but any college bound student knows to apply to some safety schools so that if it doesn’t go well with their first choice, at least they have something else to consider. There are no other schools in Florida that interests you?</p>
<p>Mayday, I know that Ari transferred, but I’m not sure about the process that she had to go through. You should still ask her though, ha… she should know more about it.</p>
<p>I know Mizz, this is completely out of character for me. I don’t have interest in any other Florida school. I always want to go to a college that is the best choice financially for me, and that rest in Florida, because of my prepaid program. Up here in Illinois, to attend a tier 4 school (like my oldest sister), it’s about 12,000 for the worst dorms, and about 10,000 for tuition. My prepaid would not cover enough at all. Literally, it’s UCF, or community college for two years. I’m sturrborn and hard headed enough that I won’t shell out money to attend a school I don’t love. As you can imagine, knowing that I probably won’t get into UCF scares me-but I can’t help the school I feel for. I can’t close my heart to what I feel. So to see that my twin brother will get it, over me, and that I probably won’t be able to go down with him…it’s hard, to say the least.</p>
<p>It’s so sad to hear that 
I really hope you do get accepted. I’m holding onto the same hope for you as I did for Mayday. It always sucks being in this kind of situation. I get what you mean about the financial issue though… Both of my roommates are taking out loans right now because like you, they don’t have any financial support from their family, while I’m living off of my Parents (and I feel horrible about it.) And since you’re considering community colleges in Illinois, perhaps just go to Valencia down here in Orlando and transfer to UCF after two years. </p>
<p>Let’s be hopeful though =] It’s only September, so if they do defer you, it means there’s still time to bring up your ACT.</p>
<p>That’s what I’m hoping for. I just want to hear back from them, so I can see if there’s still hope. The thing is, I feel like I could do so well on the ACT…except my math. I got a 29 on reading, 26 english, low 20’S on science…I didn’t even hit 20 on math. I know how to do math, but I can’t just magically think of how to solve a problem, in one minute. I’m just hoping my community service, writing and violin awards and essays can help me at least be defered. I look back and wish the the personal issues I had to face didn’t affect me so badly…</p>
<p>That’s actually a good thing- that you only really need help in one particular section. So now when you study, you know what to focus on. Study like hell for math, and for Science, just study a little and go with the flow. My problem was the reading section, Lol. I think you can do this!</p>
<p>Write, I respect the perseverence but in the logical order of things if you do not get into ucf, attending valencia or fau or usf or basically any other florida school would be alot cheaper/easier to transfer. You seem set on attending ucf no matter what but doing community college up north will make transferring more difficult than say going to ucf’s feed school. Have you toured anywhere else?</p>
<p>I certainly hope so. I don’t at all think they’ll even consider that my grades weren’t so killer freshmen and sophmore year, because both years, two very close family friends died of cancer. I don’t want the pity-I just want them to consider. Just for one moment that I faced a few draw backs, and my emotions were in a hectic spin, and that I couldn’t concentrate on grades. I AM concentrating this year though. If I can just get my AP psychology grade up, and it’s almost there, I’ll have a 4.0. I want them to see this side of me. I also want them to consider that the reason I have 630 hours of community service, is because I used it as an escape from the deaths. My ‘why did you choose to apply’ essay was so pathetic, because I literally just continue on and on about how I love the school, and would go to no other. If I got accepted…it would be amazing. There’s too many issues here, and I need to get away for good.</p>
<p>Also, I can not attend community college in florida, because I don’t have the money. I’ve been working since freshmen year, but all my money goes to paying for bills (cell phone, gas, insurance, etc.) I really don’t have interest in any school other then UCF. It’s the only choice for me-personally and financhally. Everyone assumes that I’m stupid, or unintellegent for choosing this. But if they only knew half of the story, or half of the family problems, then they would understand.</p>
<p>hey guys.
so i just applied to UCF yesterday!!! AHH! im so excited! But im nervous too!!</p>
<p>I have a 3.34gpa(UW) idk what my weighted is… but im in the IB program (and took some honors classes fresh/soph yr) and i have a 1650 on my SATs (im retaking them next saturday…hopefully it would be alot better!!) </p>
<p>my essay was okay and I had a lot of great extra curriculars</p>
<p>hopefully I get in!! When do you think ill hear back from them?
Tomorrow im sending in my transcript request form and after I take the OCT SATs I have to send it to them…
ahh i hope i get in! =/</p>
<p>Also Im an out of stater </p>
<p>my mom lives in windermere so thats how i found out about UCF.
and when i visited the campus i fell in love with it</p>
<p>so do you think it would be a disadvantage that im from OOS?
I know florida schools have a very low percentage of OOS kids =(</p>
<p>Community college is much cheaper than a big university. And nobody is doubting your descision, just trying to help someone who shares a similar goal.</p>
<p>It is cheaper, yes, but If I attended there, I would also need to find an apartment to rent. Which, of course, cost money. Not to mention I would have to end my job here, and look for one down there, in order to pay for my apartment. I’m looked at it everyway I can. I’ve visten Illinois state, northern illinois university, western michigan, southern illinois university, and florida state. I disliked all of them, and that’s being honest. I walked around the campus on tour, and could not see myself there at all.</p>
<p>oos is much harder to get into but your doing well by applying early mel94. UCF loves IB kids as my school has an ib and medical program so we feed a large number to ucf. Just focus on those test scores and relax, the wait is all thats left haha.</p>
<p>Well everything is going to cost money, but fsu is a completely different style of school. Not surprising you didnt like it. USF UCF UM are the big city/noncommuter schools in florida while FAU and UNF are a good combination of both. All would be covered in prepaid</p>
<p>Finatic I’m in IB and applied for summer so hopefully I get accepted</p>
