That is great that you plan to retake the SAT, but I also highly recommened taking the ACT as well. I am sure you hear this a lot, but the ACT is a completely different test than the SAT with a different test style that may be easier for you. Also, buy study books for both the SAT and ACT. They are not expensive and they give you plenty of practice tests, so that on the day of the test you will be more than ready, as long as you studied well.

You should submit your application in early. Even if you did not take your SAT/ACT yet, or haven’t received your scores yet, it doesn’t matter. They will look at your application and decide at the moment if your scores are good enough yet for UCF. If not, they will ask for more scores. In the meantime, continue to take tests while you are awaiting the results from UCF, that way UCF will not have to wait around for new scores to come in. I submitted my application early and I was accepted in October. However, after my acceptance I took the SAT and the ACT two more times each so that I could get the best scholarships from them, along with acceptance into the Burnett Honors College. Your senior year will be a long one, which means you have a lot of time for testing. But make sure that you get all of your testing done right away, don’t wait a few months after school starts to start registering for tests.

As far as housing goes, I would check out the UCF Housing website:
[UCF Housing and Residence Life | Rates](http://www.housing.ucf.edu/ratesresults.php?year_id=0910)
The amount listed is the price you pay. The price is not split for any of the apartments/residential halls.

I threw a lot at you, but if you have any more questions or need some clarification feel free to ask.
