UCF Top Ten Knights

My daughter applied to UCF a few weeks ago. She checked her application status today and found out she’d been deferred. She qualifies for the UCF Top Ten Knights program, which we thought would guarantee her admission. Has anyone else been deferred who qualified for Top Ten Knights? Her stats are very good - ACT score is 33, weighted GPA is 4.9, many AP classes and awards and in the top 3% of her class. Although she put her application late, we were confident we’d get an acceptance based on her qualifying for admission under this program. Anyone have something similar happen?

My son’s friend is in the same position. He also qualifies for Top 10 Knight. His SAT scores are just average but high GPA and very high class rank. He called and asked. They said he’d probably get in and the latest he’d here would be March 1st–yikes! It’s frustrating.

Thank you for the response. She emailed them last night, so we’re waiting to see what they say.
