<p>xcrunner,
Congrats!!! Accepted to UCF or USF?</p>
<p>I would recommend emailing. I couldn’t get anywhere with them on the phone. That is the only thing about UCF is their admin and financial aid office staff. </p>
<p>I applied Aug 1 and got accepted Oct 6th. I had a 29 ACT with GPA 3.95, football, SGA, 100 Hours of Community Service and a couple of clubs, 1 AP class (didn’t pass the test) and the rest all honors classes. </p>
<p>I received an email yesteday indicating that i was given a Pegasus Silver for FL Resident scholarship (but it didn’t say how much that was). I tried calling today and could never get a live person. I emailed them and immediately got a response that the letters went out for scholarships and the amount and disbursment info is listed on it. I could not find any information as to how much this scholarship is worth. I say any amount is a plus!</p>
<p>Forgot to wish those of you luck who haven’t heard back yet!</p>
<p>Also I was accepted to USF and their honors college. Their scholarship offer was right in the acceptance letter. That made it easy but UCF was my 1st choice so even though the money was and is probably better at USF I chose UCF instead.</p>
<p>Congrats runner! We had the same ACT, and you have an amazing amount of community service hours! It seems to be that UCF is liking them a lot. I got into summer, too, with 22 ACT, 3.3 GPA, and 700 hours. Maybe it is a good thing to have an obnoxious amount of hours:)</p>
<p>See you down there!</p>
<p>Just talked to an admissions officer from USF. She said that it could take 8-10 weeks at this point from the day my daughter applied, or even after the holidays to have a decision. She also said after all my questioning, that it could also be in the next two weeks.
Anyways, they dont tell you any specific information either calling or e-mailing.</p>
<p>overcome-- this thread is so long that i’m not sure if you are aware or have seen this but this could help you determine acceptance at USF.</p>

<p>Thank you alongwait,
Can someone tell me if the gpa’s they list in the matrix are weighted or unw.??? I assume unweighted but…</p>
<p>Recalculated by USF</p>
<p>I am thinking about having guidance at my school call USF.</p>
<p>I applied as a transfer student for Summer back in Oct. My status was fully updated today, showing all of my transcripts & test scores. It says it’s now been sent to the review committee. I am a student at FGCU transferring with an AA from a FL university. It says on their website if you have an AA from a FL school you receive priority consideration, who knows if that’s true… My GPA isn’t that great (around a 3.0-3.1) but I have tons of volunteer abroad hours so that should help…good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Is anyone else freaking out about FSU’s decision in less than two weeks???</p>
<p>I’m excited though I know I don’t have a good chance at all! Did it just for kicks cause anything can happen! Hah</p>
<p>How do we know if we get the Pegasus scholarship. And how would we even qualify</p>
<p>Has anyone gotten scholarship notifications on myUCF?</p>
<p>yes people have. there’s a scholarship link under self-service or something</p>
<p>@ pinkKnight I saw on Thursday under MYUCF that I had received the Pegasus Silver but it didnt say anything about how much it was. I got the official letter on Saturday indicating 9,000 over the 4 years. I have a friend who received the Pegasus Bronze and it was 6,000 over the 4 years. Gold I believe is 12,000… Not sure what the criteria was for the gold.</p>
<p>@dude2012 The admissions office automatically checks to see if you are a Pegasus recipient. Its all based on test scores (ACT/SAT and your GPA)</p>
<p>for those who were accepted, does ucf send you an email the same time you get your decision on your portal?</p>
<p>If you got accepted with old scores… but then retook and sent new higher scores (retook SAT on Oct 1) would they consider teh new scores for scholarships?</p>
<p>@Rockoboy Thanks! where exactly in myUCF did you locate that information? And what are your test scores and GPA?</p>
