UCF Waitlisted 2015

I applied for Fall 2015

Status: Waitlisted
Applied: January 7, 2015

SAT:
1420 (CR+W+M)
910 (CR+M)

GPA:
UW: 3.47
W: 4.1

Rank:
202/600

Essay:
I believe my essay was great. I spent days working on it and even asked my AP Lit teacher to check it for me several times until we agreed it was perfect.

Recommendations:
I sent 3 and they were all great. I didn’t send in one from my guidance counselor though. Should I send that one in?

Community Service:
Pregnancy Center, School, Church, Student Council Activities (To keep it short)
I am not sure of the exact number of community service but, it is well over 100 hours.

Sports:
I was a JV Cheerleader for 2 years (9,10)

Clubs:
I am a liaison for Student Council
NAHS
Anime Club
Literary Magazine

Work:
I only had one summer job. It was not a fabulous job that would stand out but, it was a job.

Other:
I took mostly honors courses and I only took 1 AP.
I have received honor roll numerous times.
I am Out of State (NJ)
I sent a letter stating how the school is my first choice and recent accomplishments.
I sent in my deposit for another school already just in case I am denied admission I have a back up plan.

I have not lost hope and I pray each day hoping my prayers will be answered.
I would like to know my chances or what else I can do to be admitted.
I understand my SAT scores are low and I already asked my parents if I can retake them but, I received a no. I feel it would be too late to retake them now anyway.
Please let me know if you would like to know any more information.
Thank you for any help that can be given. I really appreciate it. :x

Were any people accepted off the wait list?

Google UCF’s Common Data Set. Your scores are well below the 25th percentile for admitted students. I don’t think this is good news for you. Please embrace the school you can attend, accept all the opportunities that it offers, and don’t look back. Good luck!

Thank you for answering! I honestly knew my SAT scores were pulling me down. I guess I became afraid as I want to go to this school and my family is not allowing me to retake the SAT or even take the ACT. I will stay positive though! :slight_smile:

Im still on the waitlist and its may 16! Im about to give up hope cause its so late! Have you heard back?
