Forgot to post this, but I was accepted about a week ago.
Term Applied For: Fall
Program: Undergraduate

Really hoping to receive a scholarship! I hope they’re released soon.
@ks3210 All the best to you. I hope you get a scholarship!
S’s stats are very similar to yours: SAT 1430 (new), 14 IB classes, GPA (W) 4.22 out of 4.49, OOS Residency (Virginia). A scholarship from UCF will likely make the difference is S decides on UCF (Mechanical Engineering). S is still debating about whether to apply for the Burnett Honors College, but folks here have said probably best to wait until after scholarship decisions are made.

@STEM2017 I’m pretty sure they haven’t announced any merit awards (as of noon on 11/7). That’s the same info that currently appears on my DS17 page (and being in-state, I’m sure he’ll be awarded something or the other).

My essay was about how my upbringing has influenced me as a person, and how a change in my religion affected my relationships with others and how I view myself.
