Took my son to orientation this week at UCF. He starts Summer B with his first class online. He's second generation and UCF was his first choice (over UF, UWF, USF, FSU). He tried out and made the cheer team for the 2019-2020 season.

Congrats!!! Do they still brag about the Blair witch project at orientation?Took my son to orientation this week at UCF. He starts Summer B with his first class online.

It’s a lot harder to get in now than when we went. A lot more people applying as well. It’s competitive.Congrats! My son got denied. He has epilepsy and while his grades are good, 3.6, his ACT and SAT scores are on the low side of middle. He had a difficult freshman and sophomore year due to the side effects of depikote. It is nasty drug causing short term memory issues. He will be attending Seminole State College in Oviedo and direct connect to UCF as a junior. He is also going to be a Marching Knight this fall playing his saxophone.
I am a bit frustrated with admissions. His grades are good and he is dual enrolled in college English and aced both semesters. He also aced music appreciation. He has made As in most of his classes which have been honors. We don't have a lot of AP classes here at Smoky Mountain High. He has 5 letters of recommendation, plus he was on the ground floor starting our schools FRC robotics team, marched in band and did countless community service projects as part of scouts. His English and science are solid and math is about average . Plus he has the Florida Prepaid college program. I get it that UCF is competitive, but my son truly wants to be a Knight like his dad. He will get there in 2 years. I wish UCF admissions would look at the entire kid not just their grades and SAT score. My son worked his ass off inspite of the epilepsy and the drugs. He was on the wait list and asked for an expedited review and was denied. Like your son, he was willing to go to summer school or even next spring. In the end he will be a Knight and will get to march for 4 years, maybe longer if he goes to grad school.
You should be proud and i wish you guys nothing but success and who knows, maybe our kids meet up this fall cheering on the Knight's and playing tunes! Congrats again.
Grip 'em like a six-pack for safety.Make sure to get a picture of him doing this

National average is 3.3 years to get a CCA lot of Pulitzer Prize winners came from CC backgrounds.

That would have gotten you in when I went mid to late 90s.I know it may be more competitive to get accepted vs when I did in 2013 (started UCF fall 2014), but I went to FAU my freshman year in 2013, I had a girlfriend at the time who went to UCF, and I experienced the magical goal line stand against Houston. From there, I was convinced to apply to UCF. In the fall, 3 months in, I applied for UCF. I had a 3.2 gpa and a 22 act score. Obviously got rejected. So, I took it upon myself to go to the admissions office and plead my case on how much of an improved student I am compared to high school. 15 minutes later, they told me that I was the kind of student they’re looking for. Fast forward 5 years, I’m finishing up my second year of medical school. Point of the story is, don’t allow that rejection bring your son down. If anything, use it as motivation to prove them wrong. It’ll all work itself out.
They've won a couple of national championships in the past. 2018-2019 season they came in sixth overall large coed collegiate, first in the gameday cheer large coed and first in the World University Cup. My son wanted to play football and he got invited to the spring game this year as a long snapping prospect. The next day he visited as a cheer prospect. I was with him both days and by the end of the cheer visit I told him he was crazy if he chose football. That was a cattle market, and as a long snapper I told him he would be standing behind the the sophomore starter for at least three years fighting for the second or third spot. He would not be happy holding a helmet and wondering if he made the travel team, or not. Glad he chose cheer.Hasn’t the cheer team won national championship recently or something like that?
