Well, my decision is not final. Im applying to UF but not FSU so things could change.

First of all, UCF has a bad rep among some people about being a bad school, but I dont agree with that at all. UCF’s mean SAT of last year’s class is a 1250. Mine was a 1320 so its a little higher. I believe this number is higher than FSU’s and its pretty close to UF.

My main reason for choosing UCF is that I just love the place and the opportunities it offers. To me, it offers the best of both worlds. Its in a big city like Orlando with all the big city things to do as well as all of the internship opportunities that you can imagine, but also when you visit, you realize that UCF is actually its own town inside Orlando. Its completely detached from everything else so its a college town inside a city.

Another reason for choosing UCF is that even though they messed up with my residency card, when I talked to the admissions guy on Saturday, I felt wanted. And as I walked around campus talking to random people that we would meet on the way, I felt wanted as well. I also like the whole vibe of the campus. You don’t realize how beautiful it is until you visit. And its also perfectly planned so everything is where it should be.

I also like how its only around 3 hours from South Florida, so I can be away from home, without being too far away (UF is like 5 hours and FSU about 7). Its also only 30 minutes away from the beach so that’s always a plus.

I also feel like I would get bored at a regular college town after awhile and also prefer to build my own path and watch the University grow rather than just follow the same path as everyone else and go the UF and FSU route. I am fairly certain that UCF will surpass FSU in the future.

And since I’m Pre-Med, I like UCF’s Pre-Med program with the new medical school better than FSU’s
