Shinee- If you are instate, what is your academic core GPA? That is very very close to your UCF GPA. In Broward County, student’s report cards (and online at virtual counselor) reflect three GPA’s (unweighted, Academic Core and Weighted). To be competitive for UCF, your academic core should be at least 3.5. This past year, very few kids got in initially with less than a 1100 SAT. These kids were deferred until after retaking the SAT or first semester grades came out.

If your core 3.4 GPA is weighted then you are OK (but not a shoo in) for UCF BUT, your SAT needs to come up.

Best chances for admission…APPLY IN JULY (Really, really), when school starts in August immediately get your transcripts sent to UCF (you have to fill out a form for this), have your June SAT’s sent to UCF ASAP. You don’t need teacher recs for UCF at all. You do need your guidance counselor to fill out a GC recommendation. Go to her/him the first week of school in August and have this done (the form is online and the GC can do the entire thing online). Do this and you will have the best chances of admission and you should hear by late September or early October.
