Congrats @oceancruizer!
Small world @GSMSTer ! Good luck to you, please make sure to let us know how you make out!
Good luck @prettygms! ANY money would certainly be a HUGE help, for sure! As I’m coming from OOS but utterly in love with the school.
Has anyone tried to get additional scholarships? the merit scholarships seem to give the most $ but any $ will be gladly accepted 
Does anyone know if they offer in-state first then OOS or everyone offered at the same time?
I’m beyond anxious!
@ks3210 @GSMSTer -we have pretty close stats and are all OOS! Awesome! Good luck. @ks3210, how does a 95.6 compute?
@Going2UCF good luck to you too!! The 95.6 is weighted; is the UCF recalculated GPA anywhere on the myucf page? I’m curious as to what it is.
Thanks @ks3210. I don’t know. You may need to call admissions to be sure what it is

Congratulations @astrantia! 30K! Wow! Is that automatic entrance into burnett honors college? UCF has some powerhouses coming in 2017!
Looks like Nov. 15th is decision day, guys!
@Going2UCF Seems like there are in-state people getting their scholarships first, so I think OOS might be getting theirs later this week. Teeth are chattering haha. And btw, it is automatic entrance into honors college! I actually got in honors college about a month ago, so I’m hoping it allows me to be considered even more for that succulent 11k/year!
@GSMSTer -I am praying that we’ll be hearing soon! Talk about chattering teeth, what about heart palpitations & se3qty palms!
Great news you got into honors college early on. Hopefully it will be a positive thing for the scholarship committee! Pretty impressive
Congratulations! That is a nice chunk of change! Hang tight everyone – – I’m sure you will hear soon!
