This school is ridiculous

I don’t know her stats, but when we went to the Open House two years ago, they stressed that if they have everything and you hadn’t heard from them it’s because they couldn’t make a decision “in favor,” yet. For whatever reason … perhaps they need to see mid-term grades, or they’re waiting to see how much room they have. Usually, they did say it was for kids who were “on the bubble.” They stressed that if you “overpushed” you might push them into a denial. So, it’s a fine line you have to walk. If, however, you know the stats are great and you still haven’t heard, I might feel more inclined to react. If the stats are “so-so,” then there is a possibility that they don’t want to deny, but they need to see how other things shake out. They might be waiting for the 2/13 UF admits to come out. I know a lot of students, including my d, who will be making her decision after that. UCF at this point is behind UF because they don’t have the exact major she wants. So, if she gets into UF, she’ll probably turn down her scholarship at UCF and that opens up a spot. I know she has a lot of friends who’ve gotten into UCF waiting on the same announcement before they make final decisions. And, it’s not always UF that’s winning between the two.
