@Smileytia98 Yeah, I did the essays and submitted a teacher letter of recommendation
I’ve heard that if you submit early to the Florida state schools, you’ll get an answer within a few weeks of all your information arriving. Once it gets closer to the deadlines, it takes a lot longer.
Good luck to everyone!
Need some help- only have a 3.388 weighted GPA but am taking Dual classes at my state college for senior year… i have a 25 on my ACT and need some advice on whether to just apply now and take the risk with the low gpa or apply later… help!
applying for summer 2017! please help. it is my number one school
@ucfucfucfplz, as you probably know, your ACT and weighted GPA are just outside of the middle 50% for the Fall 2016 class. That being said, a strong senior year schedule with dual enrollment should help. I do not think waiting to apply will help as you would only have one semester of dual enrollment to factor into your weighted GPA calculation. A single semester with dual enrollment weighting can only do so much to increase your GPA. I recommend going ahead and applying. Be sure to do the essays and counselor recommendation. Emphasize your extracurricular accomplishments and community service hours, if any. You can (and should) update your application when your dual class grades are posted.
Okay so i’m freaking out. MY friend submitted her application to UCF about a week before me and got her acceptance last Friday, but she also has better scores and a higher GPA. I haven’t gotten accepted yet, should I be worried?
GPA UW: 3.52
GPA W: 4.47
ACT: 26
I also have 3 previous AP courses, 2 dual classes, and am taking my whole senior year as an early program at Miami-Dade
@tatid123 I wouldn’t be worried because it’s still really early and I haven’t heard anything back either
Also Tatid123, I think your stats do fall in line with what they’re looking for. It’s hard to be waiting on an answer, but I think you have a great shot. Hang in there!
