I was deferred by UCF summer 2017

I was deferred by UCF for the summer 2017 term today. UCF is my top choice and I’m really disappointed I didn’t get in. Can anyone share some advice on what should I do? Was anyone else deferred? Anyone previously get deferred and were accepted later?

My Stats
GPA- 3.1 unweighted.
3.8 weighted.

ACT- Didn’t use.

SAT- I’ve only ever taken the new SAT, I sent them my 1160 score originally, and they just got my 1270 out of 1600 score today, the same day I that I got deferred.

I’m in the AP Program at my school. After my senior year I would have taken 11 APs, I’ve only taken AP or Honors classes. I’m in various clubs and honor societies. I had about 6-7 rec letters written for me but I never sent them because I heard they weren’t used in the admission decision. What should I do to increase my chances of getting accepted? I feel so embarrassed, because all my friends are getting into every college they applied to.

Thank you to anyone who can help.

@AlphaJrJ1221 I recommend you call the school and ask for direction. Perhaps after you send your 1st semester grades you will get in. They have done it before

Your 1270 seems fairly competitive. Deferred is not denied. Contact them and see if they can offer some hope. We just toured the UCF campus last week. Really nice! Good luck, I hope it works out for you.

My daughter had about the same stats and same results. She applied for the drama program which is audition based so it doesn’t really make sense. I read that it is easier to get into the summer program. Maybe the applicants had higher stats this year. Send a letter and your new scores and see what they say.
