<p>Did anybody else apply in late July / early August, and is STILL waiting on a decision? Hoping I’m not alone…</p>
<p>Justin, I would check on this with admissions…I heard back within 3 weeks.</p>
<p>Guys I turned in my application about 2 weeks ago, and my high school transcript got there a week and a half ago. However, in the Required Document Status box, it says the following:</p>
<p>Your Transcript from:
Advanced Placement
WAITING FOR AN OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT
Please request that an official transcript be sent to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, P. O. Box 160111, Orlando, FL 32816-0111.
Please allow 3-7 business days processing time for electronic transcript receipt and up to 14 business days (during peak processing time) for paper transcripts.</p>
<p>Basically it is saying that I need to send my official AP exam transcripts from College Board. However, I believe that they do not need them for admission, and I tried calling but they didn’t answer. I do not want to send them right now because they cost $15. Plus, I got a 2 on all 4 AP exams that I took. (AP Bio, AP Chem, AP Lang, and APUSH)</p>
<p>Do I really need to send it?</p>
<p>Oh and please chance me?</p>

<p>@beccag2014 are you sure your GPA is 3.21 weighted? or is that unweighted</p>
<p>if you want to improve your GPA you may want to try neuro attention app

<p>Hey insidious01! I emailed the admissions office about the AP scores affecting my decision or not and this was there response:</p>
<p>The timeframe in which freshman applicants receive an admission decision is directly related to the competitiveness of their academic credentials. Students who are considered more competitive for admission are likely to receive a decision prior to students who are considered less than competitive for admission. Your admission decision will not be held up for AP scores as the scores are not part of the admission decision.</p>

<p>But I applied on October 2nd, and had all materials in by the 7th and still have yet to hear back, so I thought that would have been the issue. I guess not. You seem like you have a good chance though. I’m the same as you, I screwed up my freshman year and half of my sophomore year and then actually got to work but my GPA only shows the screwed up me. I have a 2.7 UW but a 4.0 W and my test scores are good so I’m just hoping they realize that. I almost think it looks better to see such big improvement in a student and it shows that they are actually diligent now. But what do I know? Good luck!</p>
<p>A month later, they finally updated my status - deferred until Fall semester is over and they receive my grades. Kinda depressing IMO.</p>
<p>JustinM95 - what are your stats? I apologize if they are listed previously - I didn’t read the entire thread. DS applied early Oct. no change to status yet… 22 act, 4.2 WGPA, not sure on UCF recalc’d gpa. 3.7 Unweighted, plenty of community service, athletics, and part time job.

<p>Boomer14, I had a 3.5 GPA (unweighted), and a 24 on my ACT. Also have dual-enrollment classes from the past two years. They accepted me last year. Can’t believe they can’t just accept me again without my Fall grades. Oh well, guess I’ll wait.</p>
<p>I got accepted back in October… But I haven’t heard anything about scholarships?
Some of my friends got accepted recently and already got their scholarship notifications.
I have better stats than them, higher sat/act&gpa, yet they are already receiving the pegasus gold and I’ve gotten nothing?
Is anybody else in this situation?
Do you think I might still get something?
I’m not sure how they are going through the applications…
If this helps…

<p>Hi everyone,
I applied to UCF 11/17/2013 and submitted my payment shortly after. Online, my application status still said “not paid” so I contacted them on 12/04 to see why. I got a reply saying they received it and that my account was being updated. And now, it still says “not paid”. Should I be worried?</p>
<p>I was deferred today. What exactly does that mean? Do I still have a chance of getting accepted?</p>
<p>@allstar2302 Deferred means that you still have a chance of getting in, but maybe your GPA or test scores were a little low. What are your stats?</p>
