<p>Hey! Back when UF was having their first regular decision (before November 1st), my SAT and ACT scores were really low, and so I decided not to apply because I knew I wouldn't be able to get in. But I brought my ACT up to a 28 and my SAT up to a 1220/1850. I was looking at their stats, and both of those were in the middle 50% of the freshman class this year. Also, my weighted gpa right now is a 3.8 (I know it's not that high), but I have like five AP classes this year and I'm getting a lot of A's and B's in them, so I'm hoping to bring that up to over a 4.0. The reason for the not-so-great gpa is because I was dealing with some personal issues my freshman and sophomore year, which really messed me up. :/ But now I'm back on track and I'll have taken 9 AP classes by the time I graduate. I also live about 45 minutes away from my high school and don't have a car, which means I still have to take the bus. I could not participate in many school activities these 4 years. I do, however, volunteer for my church and take part in such activies very very often. Does that look good to them?</p>
<p>Also, I know that this time around is going to be even harder than the first decision because they only have a few slots left. Do any of you guys know how many applicants from the second decision usually get admitted? My friend also had a very good idea that I could apply for the summer term instead of the fall one. I'd be very happy going there this summer if that was what it took for me to get accepted.</p>
<p>Sorry this was so long, but I'll appreciate any responses and advice I can get! <3</p>
<p>From everything I know, UF got rid of their RD decisions. Now you have to have your application in by that Nov. 1 deadline. They say on their website that they will still accept applications past then, but admission will be on a limited space available situation. So, I imagine that unless you have incredible stats (application), you probably do not have much of a chance. UF has something like 20,000+ students apply for only about 5500 freshman slots. So … realistically, if you applied after Nov 1, yours chances are slim to none, I would say. Perhaps, if this is your first choice school, you could transfer in afer getting your AA at a community college. Not sure what your goals were as I haven’t read everything you’ve written. </p>
<p>What if I was to apply for the summer term? Is it still just about impossible?</p>
<p>I also applied to UCF and FSU and would be very happy attending either one of those, but UF is a very good school and I think it would be great to go there. If not, it’s no big deal. I can either go to one of the other two. </p>
<p>But yeah, I’d like to go to UF if I could get in.</p>
<p>BTW … I do have a D at UF, but I also have an S at UCF. He absolutely loves it there. So, if you get into that school, I’d seriously consider it. Good luck, wherever you end up!</p>
<p>Zebes- Nice! I have a lot of friends that go there too who absolutley love it as well. I got accepted back in October, so that’s definetly an option. It’s just that I live in the panhandle area and Orlando is 8 hours away and my parents think that is too far, so they really want me to go to FSU, but I got deferred. Is your S in the honors college? I’ve been beginning to look into that at both schools since UF isn’t looking too great. Haha.</p>
<p>hsmloverrx,
Honestly, I have no idea. I’m sorry. I think I saw somewhere in the UCF forum that the average SAT for last year’s class accepted into Burnett was 1370/1600. I just don’t know … Perhaps you might try that forum and ask current students if they have more info.</p>
