futureknight: First, I would love to say Congratulations and Good Luck. I'm sure you will do fine. Have you took a tour of the Campus yet? If not, wait, it's beautiful.

Congrats Futureknight! I didn't think you had anything to worry about anyways, especially with a 28 ACT! Did you planned on starting during summer term, or did you think that your scores weren't high enough for fall?

Taylor- That isn't too bad in my opinion either! I'm in no place to talk about low scores anyways. =/ I hope you get accepted, so I can still have some hope! I'm applying for fall, hoping they'll offer me summer, haha.

JTaylor104 - well, we applied end of July, before they were even looking at applications yet, so I don't know how long it really took......but thinking my daughter was in the first "pile"...I think the website says within like 3 or so weeks? I could be wrong !!

Hey JTaylor, 23 is a very good start for your ACT. Comparatively its higher than your SAT and is a solid score, and I guarantee that if you study a little and retake the ACT you can only go up from there.

jankrav I believe your son has very good stats and should consider applying to the honors college. same goes to you futureknight. it offers plenty of benefits and so far I love it. If anyone has any questions regarding the honors college or the application process, feel free to ask me (:

futureknight · 09-29-2009, 03:28 PM

My sister attends so I've been and love it!!

I applied for summer because I Wanted to make sure i'd get in and I like the idea of being there already and being ready

love2laugh · 09-29-2009, 05:31 PM

jankrav-Wow! That was fast for your son and congrats to him! However, I don't think he had anything to worry about with those scores =)

UCF finally got everything (including my transcripts) this past Friday 9/25 and I keep checking back, but I doubt they'll respond this early! Once again, congrats to your son!

JTaylor-That's not bad at all...especially for your first time. My score was kind of messed up because during my science section on the ACT, people were having a party outside with loud music. Our proctor tried to stop it, but it was impossible!

futureknight- CONGRATS!!! I am so happy for you. I am sure you'll have a great time at UCF=)

Still keeping my fingers crossed...for both me and all you guys!

Oh and Mizzxvii- Stop stressing...don't get me worried all over again lol =P. You'll be fine and they will surely accept you for summer =). If you are that worried, just take the ACT or SAT again!

JTaylor104 · 09-29-2009, 05:47 PM

thank you everyone for being so nice! and i am retaking the ACT on oct.24th

futureknight congrats on your acceptance!i hope i am as lucky as you.

just hoping they get the ACT score soon and admit me cause i hate waiting forever for them to get it. does anyone know if you can rush order the score to the college once the writing part is scored?

Mizzxvii · 09-29-2009, 11:03 PM

I'm finally getting someone to revise my essay!! Hopefully I'll be able to have everything all done and set by the end of this week. I'm also re-taking the ACT this October, WITH studying this time! I hope it pays off!

Good luck to everyone again! Hope we all get accepted!

JTaylor104 · 09-30-2009, 03:59 PM

mizzxviii have you applied yet?

Mizzxvii · 09-30-2009, 07:41 PM

God no D: I know I should have applied long ago, but I had to wait on my ACT scores and all that stuff, so I decided to delay it a little. I just signed a request form to send out my transcript to two schools though. Still working on my essay... Do you guys know if they send out the scores to Colleges yet? If you took the writing, do they wait for that and send all of it out later or what??

JTaylor104 · 10-01-2009, 03:50 PM

yes they wait for the writing scores thats why i am so frustrated i wish that they would just send everything else and than you get your writing score sent instead off having to wait. you do not have to wait to get your scores back in order to apply they will just look at your scores once you send them. what did you get on you ACT?

Mizzxvii · 10-02-2009, 01:54 AM

I received my writing score yesterday. Made a 8. Composite score on the ACT is a low low low low low 20 ._. Knew I should have studied...

Trying to raise it by 4-5 points in 3 weeks... lol

I just need my essay and I should be good to go... This next ACT test will either help or break me. Talk about pressure!

Chance me. Core academic GPA= 3.66 (based on UCF's calculations), Class rank 10/281, involved in 2 clubs Junior year, and was VP of one. Currently Chapter President of one club this year. About 75 hours community service hours. First generation. Asian. Don't even feel like mentioning my SAT again. Also, will have graduated with 6 AP classes, and 6 honors.

Should I apply for summer or fall? I've decided that I can work with attending summer term. I was going to apply fall, so if they don't accept me for fall, hopefully they'll offer me summer, but I don't know... What if they just defer me? Will I be risking the chance of getting into summer if I wait too long, since this school does rolling admission? Gah!
