Waitlist UCF 2020

Congrats @ashleyrob ! This is the second person to be offered Spring- has anyone called and asked if they are even pulling off the waitlist for Fall? Is Spring something that everyone would be happy with?

Rollins is an awesome school, lots of personal attention, great professors. USF is also a great school. Try to fall in love with your #2- love the school that loves you back!

School choice is such an individual question that I donā€™t think there is an answer that everyone can agree on.

Where I start from is this ā€“ if you got this far, you are going to be fine no matter where you end up.

After that, I think the factors involved are so individualized that I canā€™t come up with one specific piece of advice. I could say ā€œlove #2ā€ but itā€™s not that simple. I could say ā€œfollow your dream,ā€ but itā€™s not that simple.

About the only blanket piece of advice I can give is ā€œdo what you think is best for YOU,ā€ and know that you will be fine no matter what the result is.

i am also wondering about @jeneric 's question: has anyone been offered fall admission off the waitlist? i keep hearing about spring but i applied for the fall term. i donā€™t think anyone knows this information but i was just curious!

thank you for this. your piece of advice is honestly reassuring at times like this!

Congrats @ashleyrob! It is great to hear that people are getting off of the waitlist. And if you donā€™t mind me asking, what were ur stats?

@jeneric honestly I would be pretty happy with spring term. Going to community college for one semester is pretty good considering it is cheaper and fall semester will probably be online anyways. Also, I donā€™t think theyā€™re admitting people into the fall anymore because those spots are probably all taken. However, I do think there is still a possibility to get summer term. I heard of someone getting off of the waitlist a few weeks ago and getting into the summer access program. I donā€™t know if you guys have heard of it, but they offer this thing called the access program for applicants with higher GPA but lower SAT scores.

Finally my DD got off the waitlist today and was offered the summer term after requesting an expedited admission decision on April 15th. Iā€™m so excited she got in and I actually thought she would be denied for requesting a decision so soon.

may i ask what her stats were? also, if you applied for a certain term, can you change to a different term?

oh okay, is it possible to get offered the summer term when you originally applied for a different term (ex. fall term)?? i donā€™t know, i still have hope that there is space available for the fall term because not everyone has committed to a school yet so maybe thereā€™s a chance of more spots becoming available?

@christineb she applied for Fall got summer.
Her stats: 3.7 W 4.3 UW
ACT 26
Major: Psychology

thank you! congratulations to her as well! :blush:

@christineb It is possible to get summer term even if you applied for another, I know many people who got summer when they applied for fall. As for the fall term still being available, thereā€™s still a possibility of course, but I just havenā€™t heard of anyone getting into fall from the waitlist.

oh okay! yeah, but even summer term sounds interesting so either way, whether itā€™s summer or fall then i would be happy. someone in this forum got accepted off the waitlist when asking for an expedited decision so when you request for yours, make sure to let us know your results if comfortable :smile:

hello! Itā€™s no problem! I have a 3.7 and a 1220 sat. Someone else asked-I was excited about spring Bc i wouldnā€™t have to worry about transferring!

@ashleyrob congrats! Also was your 3.7 weighted or unweighted (if you donā€™t mind me asking)? :slight_smile:

@christineb of course! Even if I get a rejection, I will tell you guys. As I mentioned earlier, I will be asking for the expedited decision on Monday, so it should come out in the next week. I see @TeamSmith asked for one on April 15th and got it a couple days after so I may even know as early as next Wednesday, which is kind of scary, but at this point I just want an answer.

I requested the cancellation of my application. I decided to commit to FAU. I might transfer sophomore year though. Good luck everyone! Dying in suspense with yā€™all will always be one of my fondest memories of quarantine.

aw, oh my goodness. yeah, sounds strange to say but i am glad to be in a forum with people that are dealing with the same situation as me lol but i agree! one of the fondest memories of mine too. i wish you luck with fau, it is also a good school! if you are thinking of transferring for sophomore year, i am sure you will get in! but safe and happy moments for you from now on!

@blakeboyb I respect your decision, waiting is so brutal and FAU is a good school. As you said, you could always transfer sophomore year. And yeah it is really nice to be on here with other people who are waitlisted too, it will also be one of my fondest memories.

Just a question when you do get accepted into spring term are you allowed to get a dorm on campus for fall term?
