I applied for the University Of Central Florida's Summer Session (UCF) and I am so nervous about getting in.My Gpa is about a 3.25 but weighted it's about a 3.4 or 3.5 but ACT was low and I got a composite of a 21. I took the test 2 times and and got a 21 both times.I have taken many honors courses and 1 AP class last year,(i passed the AP exam) and this year I'm taking 3 AP classes and all honors.Yet,I haven't taken many math courses. I've taken algebra 1,geometry, algebra 2, integrated math,and now i'm taking advanced algebra w/ financial applications,but I just submitted my application probably 5-6 days ago and it's rolling admission so I should only have to wait maybe a month,but i'm so nervous! I only want to go there and I have hope that I'll get in,but i'm still nervous.Any advice on how to calm me down? I think about it all the time and i'm a wreck over it!

The average composite scores of students is 23-28, so you're not too far behind. Also, UCF will see that you took it twice which shows commitment, something they will value. One of the most important aspects to UCF is the rigor of your secondary school record, since you have taken honors and AP classes, they will really appreciate how much you challenged yourself and still maintained a great GPA. They ask for 4 years of math, you have taken algebra 1, geometry, algebra 2, and integrated math, so you're caught up with that. I wouldn't worry, you've done everything you can to be a student there. However, it is good to have a few safety schools, maybe you could go on collegeboard.com to search for some other schools that have a lot of the same characteristics as UCF. Also, make sure this is really where you want to go. Have you visited the campus? My advice is just to relax, there's nothing more you can do to increase your chances, you've already done all the hard work so now you should take time to chill.
Best of Luck,
