<p>if you send an email to them while they’re away, you usually get the automated “we’re out of office and will return on soandso” plus the admissions site says "The university will be closed December 23 – January 2. Happy holidays from UCF! "</p>
<p>Ah, great! Yeah, they’ve been answering their emails really quickly, according to my dad. With any luck, we’ll get a decision this friday.</p>
<p>Closed Fri? lol that’s when I have my campus tour :O</p>
<p>What have they been saying to him? any new news?</p>
<p>I’ll have to wait for further details, once my dad comes home, so he can share. Mainly that they’ll try to come to a decision soon. It’s just odd, because even IF we both get in, I won’t fully feel relieved. I’ll be happy, no doubt, and continue to think, 'Is this a mistake, too?" I won’t feel like they can’t take my acceptence away, again, until I’m actually at the campus. It’s a pretty rotten feeling.</p>
<p>well, they can pull anyone’s acceptance if they don’t like their senior year grades so everyone is in the same boat as you! just make sure you do well in your courses because anything lower than a C, they can pull your acceptance. i just read that on fsu’s policy and i am sure ucf is the same</p>
<p>Write, you mentioned that you are in illinois right?
Why don’t you try University of Illinois?
I know priority filing deadline was Nov. 1, but they also have a regular app deadline of Jan. 1.
The essays are short, and you don’t need to have your school send in transcripts until you’re admitted.
I’m really sorry for what happened, and I’d feel terrible if this were the case for me.
My ED school mails results by paper, so if a mess up happens… T_T Results should (hopefully) come out soon for me.</p>
<p>As for the personal issues… Don’t worry I’ve had multiple breakdowns at school too… but my silly friends (nerdy boys lol) helped me pull through and things always turn better! look at the brighter side of life.</p>
<p>If your college told your BROTHER but not YOU that your acceptance was pulled, then I think you can legally sue them.</p>
<p>I would have attend Unviersity of Illinois!
Except that, I do not have the stats to get in, at all. I disliked the campus very much. What I disliked the most (Which many people might love) was the fact that already half of my senior class has been accepted there, almost all of which plan to attend. Attending there would be like attending with the same people who surrounded me during high school-meeting new people was at the top of my list, during the college search, and going out of state will help with that:)</p>
<p>Thank you for the help, though!
Ah, I know, high schools mess up many things. Originally, the high schools send the transcripts for us, but I went into the office and collected them at the last minute, because I didn’t trust them. Sure enough, when my brother had them send his transcripts to Western Michigan (Which was a lost cause, since he can’t attend-much too expensive!) the office NEVER sent them. Sometimes you just have to do things yourself, if you want them done right.</p>
<p>:( i was going to suggest UCs but their deadline was Nov. 30th 
well I guess that argument (meet new people) is legit but regardless you should apply in case all else fails and at least you have a kind of backup/option X…
As for grades, they’re not everything! You have wonderful ECs and that’s important too! I know lots of ppl getting into better colleges because of ECs as opposed to pure academics (limited volunteering is going to kill me during this app process)
and University of Illinois-there are multiple ones right? but the one I applied too-UIUC is pretty big… and a lot of people from outside of state got there 
I’m sure you’ll meet lots of people there… heck I might even end up going :D</p>
<p>haha… don’t even get me started on high school admins…</p>
<p>Ah, being out of state, I’m sure you’d love it there! You’d be meeting all my high school friends:) I decided to apply to University of South Florida-don’t really have an interest in it, but rather safe then sorry, right?
The other reason I’m not interested in Illinois colleges (Other then not having any I like) is my Florida Pre-paid. Why pay God knows how much money, when I can attend a college in Florida, tuition covered? Really want to use that!</p>
<p>If you’re interested in Illinois schools, I would also look into Loyola and Depaul. Though they’ve VERY expensive, they’re in Chicago, and if Illinois is your destiniation, the city is by far the best place to experiance Illinois…any other place is corn fields:)</p>
<p>Down side, their ‘beach’ is not a beach. I always laugh when my friends say, “Want to go to the beach in the city this week?” Not only is it the lake, but it will make you scoff, especially if you’re used to florida beaches. Can’t beat the pizza though:)</p>
<p>I see… well are all the application deadlines past for the Florida schools? :(</p>
<p>Haha my dad isn’t going to let me go to UIUC even though my major (CivilE) is ranked 2nd in the nation.
Of course, if I get rejected from my ED, east coast privates, UCs, and CSUs, or get some frickin huge scholarship, he’ll have to let me go mwahahahaha :D</p>
<p>It will work out!:)</p>
<p>Alright, update. The lady my dad has been emailing back and forth with will be out of the office the remaining days, so she has forwarded all the emails to an individual who is ‘higher up’ then her, and will be able to take neccessary actions. Hopefully this is good!</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
<p>^ Thank goodness! lol, best of luck!</p>
<p>I’ll cross my fingers! It’s actually the individual I emailed about loving the school so much, the email that was sent the day before I was accepted. Maybe she’ll remember the email and the name, because I’ll admit, it was a pretty powerful email. Ah, static, what do you think they’ll end up doing?! I value many members advice, but your first post ment a lot:)</p>
<p>Ouch, Write! I’m just reading this all now…
My guess is that the woman who read your compassionate email was the one who accepted your application. Then, when your brother questioned everything, other people in admissions looked at both apps closer. Perhaps this same woman will straighten it all out once she sees what’s going on. At least that sounds like a possible reason for this mix up. I hope it works out for you. I know how much you want this, but I also know that you are one determined individual and you will do great no matter where you land, not just in college but in LIFE. And give your brother a hug because it is neither of your faults, it’s just the pressure of what is happening. Stand together, not apart. It will all work out.</p>
<p>Thanks, along wait for the kind words:) Ah, I’m a little eager to see how this will turn out, considering my dad is now communicating with the women I sent the email too…maybe she’ll remember how bad I wanted to, and still want to attend UCF. My teacher is trying to convince me that this could, in fact, be a blessing. If they had not mixed this information up, I may not have been accepted, but rather rejected. My chances of gaining acceptance are higher then ever, simply because they’ve already accepted me, lol.</p>
<p>Stupid chain of though, I know, but I’m grasping at straws here:)</p>
<p>I’m so sorry this is happening to you. I have read a number of your posts over the past couple of months and know that you were waiting to get into UCF and you were on pins and needles.</p>
<p>I have heard that the UCF admissions office is very disorganized. I don’t know if they will reverse your acceptance, but do continue to look into USF and submit the application. Sometimes fate pushes us in directions that are very different from where we wanted to go in the first place. More often than not we look back at the situations and realize that God does really know best.</p>
<p>As far as you having lower grades than your brother who also faced the same family issues- I know for a fact that sometimes situations affect daughters differently than sons. I’m sorry that you mom is facing an illness (and that is exactly what alcoholism is…). I think that you getting away from that and attending USF will still be better than throwing your hands up in the air and giving up.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Thank you for the post, it’s very kind:)</p>
<p>I also thought that many times, thinking, 'Maybe I’m just not ment to be here’s. However, there’s always little hints and bits and pieces that relate to UCF, that pop into my everyday life. Besides from loving the school, I feel like I need to be there. I can’t really explain it, without seeming crazy, but little things like, my senior class colors this year are black and gold, which is their colors. While at gamestop with my brother, he was looking for some fighting came, and one of the games was printed wrong, and rather then saying UFC, it said ‘UCF’ which they had to take the whole stock down and send them back, and a lot of other things. I know it seems crazy, but I just have this feeling that I really do need to be there. I will apply to USF, of course, but like you said, fate leads us…and I feel like fate wants me there.</p>
<p>Another thing that I thought was funny. When I went to a campus visit at FSU, my family stayed in this place in Alabama called the ‘knights-in’ it’s little things like that that drive me crazy! Lol, since knights are the mascot.</p>
