should i not even bother applying?

<p>I would like to get into University of Central Florida, but im not sure if i will make the cut. I'm taking 1 AP class, and 1 honors class right now. Would it be more beneficial to go to a community college, and possibly get into the honors program there?</p>

<p>it wont hurt you to try</p>

<p>the thing is i'd hate to waste 30 dollars if the odds are against me of getting in.</p>

<p>you are listed as from florida, so i believe you would have a better chance of getting in than some1 from outside florida... do you think you can write a good essay? are your ECs good?</p>

<p>my ACT essay was in the 98th percentile, so the essay i think i could pull off...im not a florida resident totally i only moved here a year ago...if i was in florida from day 1 of high school my GPA would be much higher...it confuses me how a GPA from a different state, and grading scale could transfer.</p>

<p>I'm not sure how where you are financially.. but it's only thirty dollars. You might regret trying.</p>
