Is it possible for me to transfer my application for summer consideration?

I applied for fall and was deferred. Is there a way for me to contact someone and change my application to summer? Or do I just make a new application? I’m really worried about not getting accepted because I can’t imagine going anywhere else other than UCF and I don’t want to go to community college. I’ve been accepted into USF and I’ve applied to FSU, UF, and UWash.

I plan on majoring in either Computer Science (#1) or Mathematics (#2). I applied for computer science on my application.

Here’s what I applied with:

GPA (UW): 3.2
GPA (W): 3.5

SAT (First Time): 1300 Composite (650 / 650)
SAT Essay (First Time): 6 / 4 / 6
ACT (First Time): 30 Composite (33 / 33 / 27 / 26)

After I sent in my app and got deferred my SAT was updated:

Composite: 1370 (660 / 710)
Essay: 7 / 7 / 8

I’m currently a senior and these are the classes I’m taking this year:

AP Calculus AB
AP Chemistry
AP US Government & Politics (1/2)
AP Macroeconomics (1/2)
AP Microeconomics (1/2)
AP English Literature and Composition
AP Music Theory
Jazz Band
Dividend (Assistant for teacher)

I have very little EC because my parents never let me (they wanted me to focus on religion, which kind of applies to why I have a low GPA) and their religion has really held me back. I wrote my essays on this. These are my ECs:

Volunteer at Pet Shelter
Jazz Band (after school performances and practices)
Adobe Certification in InDesign

After getting deferred I sent in a resume including these:

ECs: English Honors Sciety
Skills: Musician (Piano and Orchestral Composition), Photography, Graphic Design, Web Design (HTML), Knowledge in Adobe Photoshop, InDesign (Certified Expert), and Lightroom, Fluent in Spanish and Literature in French

I also sent in a letter of recommendation from my AP Lang teacher.

Prior to this year I have taken all honors and 1 AP which was English Lang (4). Anything that isn’t honors or AP is an elective.

Just call them. If you had been accepted for fall, it is very easy to change to a summer start. It may be the same application pool so you still need to be accepted.

Well, now I know I’m gonna get deferred or denied, because we have the same GPA and you have harder classes + a higher SAT. I looked around a few days ago and I saw someone say that you can email or call them to have your application reconsidered for summer admission. Good luck!

Being deferred means they will consider your application again later on and for other terms. I know a friend who was deferred, and then later accepted for the summer term instead of fall (which she applied for). She didn’t request it or anything.

After I got deferred for fall I payed the application fee again for summer but all my stuff was still there. I would call them and explain that you sent more stuff in and if that will change the decision.

@Tsuzama Have you heard anything? If your grades were good first quarter you need to send an updated transcript- it’s your grades that are holding you back.

@jeneric My grades for first quarter aren’t finalized until January 5. My application is still deferred.

I was deffered and I called the Admissions office and they told me the reason that they deffered me. They told me it was because my scores were low and suggested I retest and send updated scores. Also, calling them shows that you are really interested in the school and that you are determined to make yourself the best applicant you can be. After calling, I was accepted a few days later.
