Do I still have a chance?

<p>I applied to USF in December and just found out I was deferred. It asked for my midterm transcript (not optional), letters of recommendation, a resume, and a personal statement (all optional) so I decided since I had already sent in my resume and an essay with the application, I would send in two letters of recommendation. I am hoping for the best.</p>

<p>My stats:
GPA: 3.3 (not so great)
ACT: 27
SAT: 1830</p>

<p>Activities:</p>

<p>• Camp Counselor for community summer camp
• Child care provider for community families
• Receptionist at Prudential Realtors
• Attended soccer camps at U.S. Naval Academy and University of North Carolina
• Young Life
• JV & Varsity Soccer</p>

<p>Volunteer Work:</p>

<p>• Sarah’s House (Day long child-care for single mothers)
• WoodsWork (Habitat for Humanity)
• Relay for Life (Breast Cancer Charity Event)
• Giving Back Organization (Homeless Drive)
• Young Life Work Crew (Month-long serving at Young Life Camp)
• Sunday School / Confirmation Class Leader
• Family Camp Work Crew (Weekend serving & child care at Young Life Family Camp)
• Work Crew Weekend (Weekend serving at Youth Group Church Retreat)
• Young Life Capernaum Club Leader (Young Life club for disabled youth)

<p>your ACT is pretty good, are you sure they received it? might want to call and make sure.</p>

<p>also, remember that USF calculates your GPA different than high schools do… so, on USF’s end you may not actually have a 3.3 gpa… that’s the case with a friend of mine, her weighted high school GPA is a 3.9, but USF calculated it as a 3.2 or something like that :/</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply! On the admission status page, it says they have received my ACT and SAT scores, but I probably should check and make sure. And that’s weird about the GPA but I guess it’s understandable. I just really hope I still have a chance, I love the school so much.</p>
