UCF and USF Applications

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey guys I applied for both USF and UCF on Jan 1st and 2nd. I'm trying to see where I stand, and I'm kind of stressing out, so I guess I will tell you a little about myself to see about my chances. Btw, I just graduated high school, and i'm trying to transfer from my community college and get to a university for this fall:</p>

<p>SAT Scores CR: 550
Math:520
Writing: 530</p>

<p>I have a question about those as well. Do colleges only look at the combined CR and Math scores? Or do they look at all three combined.
But yeah, those are my best SAT scores. This is the part of my application where I am less confident about. I don't know much about how colleges look at it. I view it very positively or negatively, where the college will look at all 3 scores as 1600, or just the 2 with a 1070. :(</p>

<p>In high school, I was heavily involved with music. I participated in Marching band, jazz band, indoor percussion, 2 musicals, and even served as the drum captain for two years. I also recieved many awards of recognition for excellence in those programs. I was also a part of the Tri-M honor society, and earned the Dick Locke Scholarship. I also earned the bright futures scholarship and graduated in the cum laude rank, with a GPA of 3.5. </p>

<p>I've done community service at 4 different places, including flying dogs in planes to other parts of the country. In total I earned 80+ hours.</p>

<p>This is a list of my achievements in high school; Jazz award of 2010. – Award given to passionate musician.

<p>Try retaking the SAT in the meantime. I think you’re a match for both.</p>

<p>I’ll do that. Thanks, I really hope I get in. I hope to do the marching band at either school. :slight_smile: I think I wrote a pretty good college essay as well. Do the essays play a big role?</p>

<p>You’re a match for both; just get that SAT score up. I like your EC’s. I’m impressed by your scholarships and passion for music. I’m very sure you’ll get in. :slight_smile:
If it helps, my friend just got into USF with almost the same SAT score as you.</p>
