<p>Thank you for telling me that. I don’t believe housing apps are up right now. Is UCF your first choice?</p>
<p>Drewdog,
I highly suggest you take the ACT again… My daughter had a 24 act, 1080/1730 SAT 100 plus community hours, BUT a 3.3 gpa. She applied for summer and she was deferred for first semester grades.</p>
<p>Why on earth is USF taking so long to let people know!??!??! :(</p>
<p>overcome</p>
<p>Simple-
Because accepted UCF applicants such as myself who have absolutely
no intending of attending UCF, pending acceptance from UF/FSU/MIAMI,
have taken spots away from true applicants who will attend UCF if accepted.
–Many spots at UCF will open-up on December 14 when FSU announces and in February when UF announces.</p>
<p>What are my chances for FSU Summer 2012?
1040/1660
24 ACT
3.7 recalculated FSU GPA
Lots of extracurriculars</p>
<p>does anyone know why USF would email saying that their deadline is November 15 but thir website says they have rolling admissions and an April deadline?</p>
<p>theyre rolling dont worry about it. and overcome they got back to me within two weeks. have patience!</p>
<p>We have received the acceptance letter for thr fall from FIU in Miami 
Cant wait till next week and January to hear from USF and UCF
has anyone heard about FIU’s quality of education?</p>
<p>Overcome-</p>
<p>Why do u say can’t wait to hear “next week”?</p>
<p>Hey guys! 
I got accepted into Fall 2012 for USF, UCF, and FIU. Only waiting on UF. </p>
<p>What field or majors are you looking into?</p>
<p>Although it sounds crazy… might attempt a double major in Computer Engineering and Accounting. </p>
<p>I’m going to be visiting and staying over at UCF next week with a Knight! So stoked! :D</p>
<p>Hey Anon, congrats on all those acceptences! You should be very proud! What’s your first choice school?</p>
<p>I’m a bit unsure of my major. Originally, I was going to focus on writing, because it’s the only thing I’m good at. However, that’s just not realistic enough. I may go into marketing and advertising, somewhere I can stretch my creativity.</p>
<p>I say “next week” beacuse admissions told me that USF will start notifying people for summer over Thanksgiving break :)</p>
<p>congrats anonymous!!!</p>
<p>Thanks guys! And to answer your question WRITE- it’s gonna be a tough decision between UCF and UF. </p>
<p>*I apologize in advance for my novel. xD Ahh… I think too much.</p>
<p>For the first 2-3 years of my high school career I was all for UF Honors. I still love UF- I felt at home there. My stats are little low for UF Honors but there is the petition option. But I wish for whatever college I go, to be in the honors program. (I understand tho that the difference b/w UF reg and honors is not much compared to UCF reg and honors). </p>
<p>Now as for UCF- their honors program rocks! And not to sound arrogant but I think I have a very good chance of getting in. They also offer money- unlike UF, this is very attractive esp. if my sibling decides to go outta state. Although I grew up in the UCF area, I felt more comfortable with Gainesville(quiet, cow pastures xD ) but I do not mind the UCF area. I’m still a little apprehensive about attending UCF because it’s so close to home and my high school feeds into it. But then again, UCF has a large student body population so I shouldn’t worry about that. </p>
<p>There’s always that argument about UF being better in terms of academics, prestige etc. But UCF’s job and internship opportunities are also very important. When it comes down to applying for a job- esp. in an economic downturn isn’t experience worth more than GPA and possibly prestige? Also this is especially true for jobs where what university you get your bachelor’s doesn’t matter as much as where you get your master’s. I believe in more competitive fields, prestige, etc. holds more weight. </p>
<p>I didn’t go on an official UCF visit yet, only casual visits. Hopefully I can have a better view of UCF after staying there for a couple nights and then eventually go on an official visit. xD</p>
<p>WRITE, I also agree with you, I’m glad that you aren’t choosing a major just because it’s the only thing you’re good at. Picking the major that opens up the most enjoyable opportunities for you is a good idea. And besides, college is also about growth and exploration. You’ll definitely grow in an environment that challenges you! And in the end, doesn’t a successful future come down to good old hard work and dedication? Not everyone who achieves success is inherently gifted, but everyone who does, works for it. </p>
<p>xD I only “decided” summer before senior year. I’m entering the field I don’t think I have the most aptitude in! I’m very much a reading person ( 8) Bookworm!), and despite taking all but one of the AP math and science classes that my school offers, those are the subjects (math/sci) I score the lowest in on Standardized tests and failed most in AP exams. I’m also not the type to take things apart and put them together but I’m fascinated by engineering in general. I’m kinda scared and excited for college academics but I sure expect to learn loads.</p>

—“I say “next week” because admissions told me that USF will start notifying people for summer over Thanksgiving break”—</p>
<p>PLEASE elaborate; who told you this ? Is this information accurate ?
I have been sitting on a 3.9 weighed / 2140 SAT for two months @ USF with no answer. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Ah, this will be a tough decision for you! Either way, you can’t go wrong with either school:) You get out of the college experiance, what you put into it. UF is a GREAT school, and everyone is well aware of that. Even those of us from out of state (Such as myself-Illinois) can tell you that. However, UCF is really beginning to catch up. It all depends on what you feel is the best choice for you, personally:) UCF is the perfect match for me, and I’m beyond excited to attend there next year. Now it’s simply a matter of getting my twin brother in (Who knew he would have to ask his twin sister for help?!). Majors can be so stressful. To be honest though, I don’t think any individual can be positive they’re going into a certain major. Statistics are high, when it comes to how many college students end up changing their original major, once experiancing some interesting gen ed classes. I just know, wherever I go, will have no relationship with math, sciences, etc. I ADORE reading. Classics (The hunch back of notre dame, as well as wuthering heights are my favorites) as well as brain candy novels. However, english, depsite my love for writing, is not my ideal field. Perhaps graphic design? Ah, who knows! I’ll choose when the time comes!:)</p>
<p>Yes, the information is as accurate as it can be I guess. I will elaborate for you.
I e-mailed Sara Connoly at USF admissions and that is what she wrote back to me.
I will copy and paste her answer for you. My question was about summer notification, not sure about Fall. With your stats though, you should be hearing soon?</p>
<p>"Good Afternoon!</p>
<p>Notifications will be sent out between Thanksgiving and Mid-December. </p>
<p>Have a lovely day and Go Bulls!"</p>

<p>WRITE: Truedat. Good luck with your brother! When did you decide you wanna stick together? My twin is lookin outta state! xD 
we will be separated.</p>
<p>Ah, we never decided to stay together! Being boy and girl, I feel like we’re not as close in that proximity, say, if we were same sex. However, we are very close. Both of us are very independent, and always assumed we’d never end up at the same college. However, with our Florida pre-paid, we both immediately looked towards Florida, even being out of state. I found UCF, and fell in love. Originally, justin (My brother) was impressed with Florida State, but he hated the area it was in, and how compact that campus was. I showed him UCF, and he fell in love. I, without a doubt, will be attending. He’s also said, if he’s accepted, he would attend. Being together would be a very comforting thought, too, being as far as we are (Over 24 hour car ride).</p>
<p>Ah yes, my twin and I are same gender, but fraternal. Twin has stronger stats than me but I take an extra AP class. I have to agree with your brother about FSU, I didn’t apply there. xD That’s really cool! Ooh gonna get expensive for me to visit my twin if we’re separating.</p>
