haha yeah. You've still got some 4 and a half months until you find out whether or not you're accepted. I recommend forgetting about it entirely until at least four of the months are up.

yes...hafta wait. (thought it was 2/12 after 6pm? LOL)
My daughter applied back at the end of July I believe, maybe very beginning of August.
her:
3.8 GPA (unweighted) 4.02 weighted, 1720 (new way - adding all three- YES, I KNOW, NOT VERY HIGH)
ACT -25 (i know, not the highest either) but I think she has GREAT extracurriculars / volunteering - she eventually wants to be a vet so she has mega hours with an equine vet, small animal vet and many many hours with a small private barn.....and....IMHO, a pretty good essay (she hopes).
also...
National Honor Society, top 11% of her class, National Spanish Honor Society.
...yes, hard to wait until Feb 12/13. Why do they do that?

^ UCF is also a lot less selective than UF and accepts more students.

Yes, not quite as selective, I agree...but I just wish they could just start evaluating applications (while being selective LOL) and start accepting instead of waiting till Feb, thats all
Wishful thinking....but we'll wait....ho hum ;-)

Did anyone else get a letter asking to submit a deposit on housing? I thought that was different; had not heard of that from any other school. There's a non-refundable processing fee. Not real excited about sending money if I don't know if she is going to get in or not.

You have no choice if you want a chance at your first housing choice. Is it $25 or $30, can't remember? Your priority number for housing is based on getting that money in. That holds your slot in the housing line and gives you a chance at ending up in the housing situation you might want. Remember, if your d wants to room with a particular person, housing is selected for you based upon which student has the worse priority number. So, if your d gets a great number and her potential roommate has a lousier number than she, her housing will be based on that person's number.
We lost our deposit both times, LOL, as S went to UCF and D decided to live off-campus with friends. Oh well ... only money, right. (geesh!)

Yes, we (unwillingly LOL) sent the housing deposit, I believe was $25 probably back in August after we got confirmation of my D's application / received. At first I thought, how crazy, but I figured - what the heck, might as well. In the scheme of things $25 is what it is...and at least if she happens to get accepted, she'll be able to get housing....(and a great place in line I must say) LOL.
Honestly, we don't have money to throw in the garbage, but who knows....Actually when UCF opens up their "window" to accept housing applications, they want more than that....so I guess in the scheme of things, $25 was a bargain. I believe UCF is at leats $100. , actually I think its more.

UCF is $100 for summer, $250 for fall. Summer deposit is non-refundable. The fall deposit is $150 refundable if you cancel by a certain date. So, yes ... it is more expensive. All deposits are applied toward your housing, which, of course, doesn't help you if you don't go there. LOL
