<p>Got my ACT score this morning-fairly satisfied. Remember, the first time I took the act, I got a 20. My new composite score was a 22 (went up in everything BUT math, which I studied for the most. Hey, I tried). BUT, my score with english/writing, including my essay, was a 24. I wanted a 23 composite, but I never thought my essay was good enough to raise my score 2 more points. Yes, they don't weigh your writing score as heavily, but my counsler says they do look, to try and get insight of what your writing is like. If you got a good writing, it tends to make them curious of your essay-for those of you who are interested. I tried my best, so that's all that matters. Hopefully, by a stroke of luck, i'll get into summer b of 2012:)</p>
<p>Congrats on the score increase! I got into summer 2010 with a 22 ACT! :)</p>
<p>Keep on working harder! And hopefully, they’ll see you as a more wholesome person, aside from just scores.</p>
<p>Go knights! :D</p>
<p>Thank you so much! They only thing left to do is finish my last essay, and then send everything in as early as I can:) I can’t get my transcript and letter of recomendation from guidence until the first day of school, at least. What time do you think would be the perfect time to apply? I may have had the same ACT, but you definetly had a better GPA then I did, lol. Thanks again, I would have been more satisfied with a 23, but I like my writing combined score!</p>
<p>I can’t exactly say what time is the perfect time… but regardless of if you apply early or late, keep on trying to increase your scores just in case they do defer you. I think I applied at the end of October or early November.</p>
<p>Good luck! We need more motivated, hardworking students at UCF!</p>
<p>Ah, I’m too motivated. Sometimes I assume I can do better then I actually can. Like when I took the ACT for the first time, I expected a 26=27, because I’m a quick thinker. I realized quick thinking is more of the SAT’s vibe,lol.</p>
<p>Yay!!! I am SO happy for you. You wanted a 22, right?! Yayayayay :)</p>
<p>Thanks ali! Haha, it’s only one point off from what I wanted:) I hope it’s enough to, at least, get me deferred!</p>
<p>Congrats!! 
My SAT score is the equivalent of a 25 composite on ACT. I’m starting to shift my focus to ACT (I feel like it’s more like my kind of test). </p>
<p>I think you really have a chance at getting into UCF. When it comes to the ACT, 1 or 2 points in boost MATTERS. So congrats again! :)</p>
<p>Also, did the application for UCF open?</p>
<p>Thanks saber! Ah, I know! To be honest, I expected the 22. On a sad note, if I ever want to raise my score more, it’s evident that I need to keep raising my others, because nothing will happen with math. I took lessons with my math teacher, and it still didn’t help. I really blame it on the time, I couldn’t even think what the question was asking me! Ah, I hope it’s enough. I’m not sure when the application comes out, but I heard in july. I’ve done session A (Basic info, things you can easily fill out) but that’s as far as it goes for now. Should be up soon. Once I see it, I’ll tell you all:) I want you all to get into UCF as much as I do, you’ve been great help!</p>
<p>Thanks fluidity. I also heard it comes out in July. :)</p>
<p>Yay, then I got an answer right! Ah, i’m already so nervous. I really don’t mind being deferred, at all. However, I’ve some post of people who were deffered and didn’t get in, which pretty good stats. Makes me uneasy. Finally my sophomore year and first semester of junior year is catching up. Really should have overcome the adversity I faced a lot quicker, wouldn’t have the GPA problem…</p>
<p>I am thinking the same thing right now. I should probably not be going through the old posts. Just reading what others have had to go through is getting me worried and I haven’t even applied yet.</p>
<p>Agreed:( One thing that does sound absolutely postive…it looks as though the admissions office at UCF is horrible. The school is so amazing, on every leval I can think of, but it appears that they lose things, misplace them, don’t give helpful answers when emailed or called, make people wait WAY too long, and I’ve even read cases of having them FORGET to go through someones admission things. Too bad I don’t even care and STILL want to go to this school, and only this school.</p>
<p>I feel the same way I grew up about 30 minutes away from Orlando and returning there has been my goal since I left. I hope that they can see the love that we harbor for the school in the essays.</p>
<p>My admission essay is almost DESPERATE. I chose bump in the road, and then why I applied. I can’t even explain how much I wanted to go to the school, and it was more then just the typical, ‘Academics, campus, teachers, school spirit, location’ etc. It’s really tricky!</p>
<p>I am having the same issue so I just try to put my personality into it as much as possible. I don’t want it to be a generic essay that they will see every day.</p>
<p>Exactly. I even talk about how much I miss florida. I miss everything about it. I need to be there so bad, I just can’t stand illinois.</p>
<p>I feel the same way I went from Florida to Germany for five years ,which I loved, to a desert in the middle of nowhere. My whole mantra for my sophomore year on was return to Florida escape this land where it never rains and grass is unheard off.</p>
<p>Ah, Illinois sucks…bad. so Florida is both of our escapes lol. Are you still in germany?</p>
<p>No I wish I was… I lived there for 5 years before moving to California at the end of my sophomore year. I hope to do my college in Florida then move up the coast to the New England area for my post grad stuff I really love snow and true winters. Here the only thing that happens is you get biting gust of like 40-50 miles per hour all winter long. No amount of clothing could keep you warm.</p>
