Has anybody been able to get the Honors LLC to show up in the housing drop down? Housing app is in and accepted and Burnett acceptance is confirmed.
@g8torlaw I emailed Luke awhile ago about that. He said that as long as Towers 3 is selected as your first choice, you will be placed in the honors LLC(which is towers 3). There’s no application/form for honors housing so it won’t show up as an option under the LLC section.
@sewin2music Is that still true if you applied for housing before you were accepted to honors? I want to live in Tower III either way but I’d really hate to get bumped out of the Honors LLC if I could have gotten into it
@confusion101 I’m not entirely sure if I understand you question. Do you mean this: if you don’t get accepted to honors can you still be guaranteed Towers III housing? If so, I believe so. Acceptance to honors should not be a problem since NMF are guaranteed admittance to the honors collage. For example/evidence, I know that on myHonors my application was marked something along the lines of “automatic acceptance”. In the unlikely case that you weren’t admitted, I still think that you would be able to get Towers III since NMF are given their first choice for housing and are assigned housing before all other students.
Also, couple general questions for anyone on the thread who knows the answer:
-
What exactly is discussed during the LEAD Scholars phone interview/is there anything I need to do to prepare
(I am NMF but still anxious about being rejected because of how late I’m applying) -
Is there a way to select backups for housing? I was under the impression that each applicant was given three choices to rank, but when I applied and selected Towers as my first choice I was only asked to rank which towers I would like to live in. If I don’t get in Tower III I think I would rather live in Neptune with LEAD than a different Tower, but this option did not seem to be presented when I applied.
Right now my first choice = Tower III
Second choice = Tower IV
Third = Tower I
I cannot find a way to select Neptune as my second choice, or as any choice at all, without changing my first choice from Tower III to Neptune.
- How soon can I expect to hear back from Burnett if I overnight the mail tomorrow? I really want to make sure I get my reply form in by May 1 because being a part of the honors college is very important to me.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer some/all of these! I really appreciate it.
@confusion101 We heard back from Honors fairly quickly, I want to say within a week or so. When in doubt, email Luke !
@sewin2music @Phlipper thanks to both of you, I think I got everything I needed to know. You guys have been really helpful
:0)
My son is from IL and will be attending the June 7-8 orientation. We are very excited about his choice. He is planning on living in Neptune for the first year and Towers for years 2-4. Anyone else doing this?
FYI. Check your NMSC portal for your college sponsored scholarship notification. There is a May 15 deadline to accept. I posted this on the main page but am posting it here also just in case.
Is this how you all are reading this? 3.2 GPA to keep the UCF college sponsored scholarship but 3.0 to keep the Benacquisto?
@mommycakes This is our DD’s plan as well. She choose Neptune for her first year.
Thanks for the heads up @g8torlaw !
@mommycakes My DD and wife will be there the 7th and 8th as well.
I’m new to this page but excited I found it! @sewin2music and @Phlipper - We might be the “other Californian” you’re referring to. My hubby and son were at the Scholar weekend in March and visited UTD on their way back home. Happy to say that he decided on UCF! 
My son will be at June 7-8 orientation, is a CS major and chose Tower 3. Happy to meet you all!
@kawhocma The Tower might be the thing that amazed me the most. I would like to live in an apartment like that ! Do you think UCF would consider building a retirement village? 
@Phlipper I’m going for orientation so I’ll be able to see the Tower then. I’m excited to finally get to visit the college! I think a retirement village is a great idea!
@kawhocma Welcome!! What part of CA are from, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m from Riverside county and I’ll be entering as a health sciences major.
@sewin2music So are we! Send me a PM.
Two weeks till Freshmen orientation !
@Phlipper I’m excited to see the campus… and nervous at the same time. You’d think it was ME going to a new school! My youngest graduates JH 6/7 so I will only be there for Day 2. My S will be there for both days though.
