<p>You have a wide variety of EC’s which are great
Your GPA is great!!!. But i will have to say that your test scores are not up to par , compared to your gpa. Dont panic though. If you can get 3 points higher on ur ACT , i think your good. Your gpa though is above acceptance average gpa plus you have 2 duals in there which is awesome. I would also try to look at all the core academic classes you have taken and try to calculate ur gpa from that as well to get a rough estimate. Please remember that passing your AP tests are not even a thought in admissions, they dont care if you can skip classes, that just loses money for them. </p>

<p>Also what is ur major? </p>

<p>Hope you get in. </p>

<p>Thanks!! This really boosted up my confidence. Well I was planning to take the ACT again in February to boost up my score for scholarship consideration and bright futures. It won’t really be on time, but I am taking the SAT again this Saturday. I chose Computer Science as my major. I’m not exactly sure how that will affect my chances of getting accepted though.</p>

<p>Your welcome, @Ninjabread777‌ , I was in the same position as you 2 years ago (class of 2013). Things didnt work in my favor. Great major, it is tough though. I do not feel that the major you pick affects ur admissions because i was Elec.engineering, and my grades were really favoring that. Good luck this saturday on the SAT. Just by looking at your grades, i think you will get in , it might take some time. If your 1semester grades are good, i would send them ASAP. </p>

<p>Out of the 3 general things they look for : 0 meaning average
GPA +
Test Scores 0
Ec’s +</p>

@ahamdanilbhs Well I did get a 1610 (1630 superscored). I suppose it’s sufficient for UCF. However, I sent UCF my scores on the 20th when my SAT score came out and they still haven’t received them. UF received my scores the same day they came out so i don’t understand why UCF hasn’t. It’s been three weeks…
