I applied to UCF sometime in September and got accepted but I feel like I waited too long to apply to the BHC because I didn’t think I would get in. However, I finally applied in early January and I would like to know how much of a chance would I have.

When I applied my GPA did not update yet with the semester grades so as far as BHC knows its a 5.1W but I will send in the updated GPA in a week or two.

In-State Student
Top 2% in my class.
GPA: 5.4 W,( UCF recalculated GPA would be around 4.2 I believe) 3.7 UW
SAT: 1880 CR: 6400 M: 600 W: 640 (I know they are pretty low and hinder my chances)
I’ve gotten straight A’s for the entire semester this year so I’m hoping my GPA can sort of make up for low SAT

170 community service hours (including tutoring, starting a canned food drive and donating to a food bank)
Silver Knight Nominee
NHS member for 2 years (junior, senior)
FBLA member for 4 years and Secretary this year

National Social Studies Honors Society member

I can also speak Spanish and Russian.
I already sent in a recommendation and am planning to send in another along with my updated GPA.

Currently taking:
