<p>It’s $200 dollars:( Also, I did ask that by email, and unless I’m accepted, they will not allow it. Thank you for the help, though:)</p>
<p>There are a lot of apartment buildings and I believe there is a private residence hall in UIC area. You can always go on to the wait list. There will be a lot of movement between now and August.</p>
<p>My brother cannot afford the apartment buildings, and they claimed the dorms are almost full. I didn’t apply to UIC though.</p>
<p>I really hope you get in. I cannot believe this happened to you, when do you plan to get a reply?</p>
<p>…never. I’m not sure. If we can convince them that we need to know immediately, they end of this month maybe? However, if they still insist upon the semester grades, the predicted time is early march. Big time different. I’m just under so much stress right now, and I’m not even happy anymore. This whole situation has just changed me so much, I don’t understand.</p>
<p>By and large, the off campus apartments are cheaper than the dorms at UIC. The average rent for a 2 bedroom in the area is about $1000-$1200. The school does have a listing of off campus apartments. You can get financial aid dollars for rent. </p>
<p>You can apply for housing before acceptance but your priority date will be the day you are accepted. [Frequently</a> Asked Questions – UIC Campus Housing, A Division of Student Affairs](<a href=“http://www.housing.uic.edu/halls/faq.php]Frequently”>http://www.housing.uic.edu/halls/faq.php)</p>
<p>Right now, a lot of people have applied for dorm space who will end up going elsewhere. UIC dorms have a reputation to fill up quickly, and so, a lot of people who are not sure about where they are going to go will still apply to keep a space. In my day, they were able to give out initial contracts with people who have priority dates of mid February and before. Of the remaining group, of those who did not pull out, almost all of them had a space by August and all by Spring semester.</p>
<p>You’ll be okay. Even if it doesn’t work out, don’t let it ruin your happiness. Be positive and always just play your best game with the cards you’ve been dealt.</p>
<p>Thank you for the kind words, really. It means more then you know, because I feel like I’m falling to pieces right now. I know it may sound awfully cliche, but I can’t eve describe the feeling. I was so worked up last night, trying to study for my finals, and my dad had to calm me down. He’s trying to work so hard, so get us in, because he sees how badly it’s affecting us. Nothing changes, though. I just wish I could explain how awful it is, to think you’re finally good enough, achieving your dream…only to have it taken away, simply, and then reminded that it was a joke…and you’ll never me good enough. I wish I could just get over it, move on…but I can’t. I wish I could, but I want to be there too badly. I just wish they could see how much I want to be there, how this is tearing me apart.</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>I am sooo deeply sorry that you have not been granted admission yet but hopefully your dreams of attending UCF will come soon !
Question -
A friend of mine in school like yourself is trying very hard to gain acceptance to UCF but her application is still pending. May I ask for her, can you provide a name and e-mail of anyone in the admissions office that has been helpful and understanding as I am about to send out an e-mail on behalf of my friend and I thought that directing the e-mail to one particular person may be more helpful for her. Thanks God Bless</p>
<p>Thank you so much, David. I know we haven’t always seen eye to eye, and have clashed a lot, but I want to apologize for any hurtful things I’ve ever said. I’ve just been so stressed out, and it’s brought out the worst in me. Firstly, I reccomend her sending the email-it will be more affective. Also, if she’s won any awards, or had an current achievements worth notice, she should mention them-it will build up her application more. Honestly, any of the admissions committee is worthy to send it too. All have been equally helpful. It’s not necessarily who you send it to, but what the letter/email contains. If you look of the UCF site, there is a list of individuals in admissions, all of which would be great to contact. Remember, tell her to make the email from the heart:) I wish them the best of luck!</p>
<p>Thanks-</p>
<p>If you could please spare a minute-
Both of us attend school in ( Miami-Dade County ), the Miami area.
Do you know who she should address the e-mail to ?
ANY suggestions are helpful as most of my e-mails for her have gone
nowhere.</p>
<p>I’m sorry, but as a specific person, I’m unsure. I wish her the best of luck, though:)</p>
<p>Just curious as to your stats flseabreaz…My son was waitlisted at UCF as well and is still waiting on a decision from USF. He did get into UNF and UWF. Also is waiting on FAU. His ACT is 23, GPA 3.5 </p>
<p>Write, So sorry about what you are going through. I was following your other thread all the time until you were admitted and was very happy for you. What an awful thing to go through. We were waiting on pins and needles too. Now he is waitlisted and don’t really know if there is much to hope for at this point. BUT, I will tell you what I have told him…things do happen for a reason and somehow work out in the end. It may not be apparent right away, but eventually you will see that.</p>
<p>Thanks for the kind words, sunny:) Ah, the waitlist. But to think positively, UF decisions will be coming out shortly-there’s always a pretty big drift of UCF acceptances that get tossed from students who’s first choice was UF, so a good amount of spots should open. I know, and I’m really trying to think that maybe it’s not ment to be. But little bits and hints about the school, or in relation to the school, orrcur everyday. Call me crazy, but while I was taking my math final today (Which awful-the district made it, and not even our teachers could prepare us for what was on it, they had no clue) I came to a difficult question asking how far the distance would be, as well as round trip, from buffalo New York, to Orlando Florida…I wanted to throw my pencil down and just stare at the ceiling. It’s unbelievable how taunting it is…</p>
<p>I firmly believe things happen for a reason, but it is so hard for us to accept them when they happen :(</p>
<p>I know, overcome. I’ve been trying to convince myself, “Maybe it’s just not meant to be.” Usually, it’s easy for me to do. Not this time, though…I just have this gut feeling that I need to be there, and my gut is never wrong.</p>
<p>If it’s meant to be that you are there, you could always try again next year. Freshman year is just about getting your general courses.</p>
<p>I know, but community college is…not a good option. It has nothing to do with the idea that ‘yuck, community college’. Because of family related issues, escaping to college next year, away from home is…something I need.</p>
<p>Seriously, let me talk to your Dad. I bet I can convince him to let you attend Valencia. Go To Valencia for two years, transfer to UCF for your degree = Success.</p>
<p>It’s not that simple, mizz:( My dad does not want me down there, my freshmen year of college, attending a community college, and living in an apartment. If I have to attend community college, it has to be the one here…which is awful. I just wish they could know how awful the position really is. It isn’t a matter of, “I’m too good for community college!” attitude, because I’m not. NO ONE is too good for community college, you can great education there. However…I just can’t do it. I need to escape to UCF. It was going to be a safe heaven for me, and I was so thrilled…Now I don’t get to have that, "Doesn’t matter, Caitlin, because you’ll be out of here by the summer’ in my head. Not anymore…</p>
