“I was top 10 % of my graduating high
Jan 18 2018Mechanical Engineering
I was top 10 % of my graduating high school class with over a 5.0 gpa. Keep up your GPA and score high on ACT/SAT.

“High GPA
Feb 23 2016Psychology
High GPA and High GRE score.

Do not be discouraged if you do not get in at first, it is highly competitive. I did not get in as a senior in high school. I attended Florida Atlantic University for a year, then transferred to Valencia College and complete my AA and transferred. Remember it is not where you start its where you finish!

“Extremly easy to get in
Mar 25 2014Other
Extremly easy to get in. specially if youre a transfer student. If youre going as a freshman they'll tell you all this crap about how high the gpa scores from accepted students are but I met people who got in with a 2.7 gpa in high school with average sat scores.

Sep 11 2013PreMed and Medical
I believe the current statistics for UCF's acceptance of high school seniors are SAT scores at the same level as UF typically requires, and a 3.85 mean GPA (which I think is higer than a lot of schools nationwide.) If you screwed off in high school as a freshman or just didn't start reallying trying until after your GPA was shot to crap, go the community college for 2 years route. However BE PREPARED FOR AN ACADEMIC SHOCK IF YOU TRANSFER FROM A 2 YEAR COLLEGE - WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU AN A STUDENT AT VALENCIA WILL MAKE YOU A C STUDENT AT UCF. MUCH HARDER, EVEN THE EXACT SAME CLASSES. If you can go to UCF as a freshman right out of high school, I would strongly STRONGLY recommend it! You want to learn how to study and prepare at a university level and not get your butt kicked like I did coming in as a junior with an AA degree.

“The criteria was constantly going up when I was
Apr 17 2013History/Histories (art history/etc.)
The criteria was constantly going up when I was there so this may be of limited use. When I went in I was a member of both the National Honor Society and the Tri-M music honor society with a lot of hours clocked in volunteer work with the school's art department. My SAT score wasn't great at 1270, but my GPA was sitting at 4.98 and came in with a great deal of college credits. I never failed an AP exam, never had any discipline issues, and am a fairly good writer for that entrance essay (at least I'm told so).
