Hello, I'm a VERY scared senior. I REALLY want to go to UCF,but I've been so very concerned that I may not get in. All of my friends,family members, guidance counselors and other adults are telling me that I'll most likely get in but I'm still nervous. My gpa is a 3.25 but weighted out it's probably around a 3.45 or 3.5 but my ACT scores are the issue. My ACT composite was only a 21,i retook the test and again got a 21, improving in some areas but staying the same or going down in others.I applied for the SUMMER 2011 session though and I already turned in my application. I have taken many honors courses, 1 AP course last year ( and passed the AP exam),and this year I'm taking AP Gov, AP economics, and AP enviro, Anatomy Physiology Honors,English IV honors, Marine Biology Honors,and Advanced Algebra w/ Financial Applications. SO i want that to look good. I've had mostly B's, many A's and a few C's on my transcript. But I took a few regular classes as well. I"m wondering whether I have a good chance of being accepted for the Summer session. Please help! i'm freaking out all day ,everyday about whether or not I'll be accepted or not. I turned in my application about 3 days ago! My best friend has a lower gpa then me ,yet has more Ap and honors classes but around the same weighted gpa as me and applied for Fall 2011 and got accepted (but she also got a 1200 on SAT) so I'm very worried about myself! Please help me relieve my stress!
And even if you don't get in, go to your local community college and get your General AA (the first two years of your Bachelor's Degree) and UCF has to accept you then.

We might not have any hold on what will happen but what's important is how we will handle whatever is going to happen. I think you are a very hardworking, smart, patient student. I have a feeling that no matter what you will be successful wherever you are. So sit down and just let it be. You did everything you can and what you're supposed to. Be proud of yourself.
