kael92, your scores are very similar to mine (i had 590 math and 490 reading) and ive had 3 APs, a ton of extracurriculars and community service, a sport, and a really good essay as well. However, I was deferred solely based on my SAT scores (most likely just reading). You will most likely be in the same boat as me and be deferred “to earn more competitive SAT or ACT scores”. I called undergraduate admissions and said for them to be able to review my app. again, I have to take the SATs; so I signed up for the December SAT on the late deadline. I heard back exactly one month after I applied (applied Oct. 12 and heard decision deferred Nov. 12 and signed up right then and there). You might want to consider signing up for the January SAT on top of you taking the December SAT if UCF is high on your list (its my top choice), or wait to hear back first then sign up. I’m not saying you won’t get accepted (but the ACT score might boost you up), but its very possible a decision will be deferred. Hope that this helps.
