Impossible, they only interviewed at most around 400 students, and they matriculated 43, so that's more than 10% already. They probably accepted at LEAST about 1.5 times as many.

That's a little promising, but low compared to UM and UF who accept around 70% of their interviewees.
Between today and Monday decision will be known. I am sending everyone positive energy. I am already nervous..I am at work so at least since I do not have reception anyway i will not have to keep looking at the phone. This may be a long weekend.........😴😴😴

Take a look at REL's previous posts(page 2 or 3), they're planning to interview about 325 this year, for a class of 60, that means they'll likely accept at least around 100, which gives you ~30% chance of getting in post interview.

I'm on the waitlist for UCF class of 2014. At least, it's not a rejection. To set the record straight, at the interview, I learned that UCF does NOT over-admit. They admitted 43 students last year and this year they will admit 60. If not exactly 60, it will not be much more than 60. They have a waiting list that they will admit students from, if need be. That's why they are literally the most selective school in Florida and probably the US. So congrats to those who've been accepted!

Any accepted people's stats? I have an interview friday!!! Any tips?
Admitting and accepting are two different things. They can always only have 60 acceptances held, but if people withdrawl, more acceptances can be handed out. So this tells us nothing.
I am only avg on stats--I have a 3.1 uGPA from the mid-90's, but a recent post-bacc sGPA of 3.91. I had never taken any science classes in undergrad, so did the whole gamut. 29<MCAT>34. Obviously from the old uGPA, I am a non-trad, with a whole previous life. Honestly, I almost fell out of my chair when I got the call. I still cannot believe it. REL probably had to cover his phone ear piece as I was yelling.
The interview was great, but the day was packed, so rest up. You will have 2 interviews with some pre-designated questions in addition to them just wanting to chat with you. The trip to Celebration Hospital was awesome and I now want to get my hands on that DaVinci again!
Good Luck!

Congrats! How soon after your interview did you hear? And btw, you are anonymous so you can post your MCAT. No one knows who you are
Exactly 2 weeks.

Ftrflyr, I know who you are! (I can tell by your screenname) I got in as well 🙂, we interviewed together, I asked you tons of questions about your amazing previous life haha...and my DaVinci stitch came out. I don't know if that's enough of a clue? Congratulations on getting in!! See you next year!

More acceptances would be handed out to people on the waitlist. My point is that they will always keep their acceptances at 60. You may be accepted later from the waitlist but that depends how high you are ranked on the waitlist and how many people drop acceptances. I guess I was using admitted and accepted interchangeably.
Gotcha. My question still remains. How many are interviewed and how many are accepted (including those who are waitlisted first and THEN accepted?)

Good question. I think they will be interviewing about 400 people this year. REL is really honest when he updates you on the committee decision so if you are waitlisted, he'll tell you more or less where you fall on the list and what you're chances on getting accepted are based on your rank. It also depends on your state residency. OOS people will make up 25% of the class.
Did we talk about your brother? If so, I definitely know who you are. Congrats. I'm still in shock about being accepted.
Ok now I am puzzled who are you two people why don't you include me/ it easy for me I was the only black girl there LOL I want to know who i am talking too taking educated guesss from the clues but I am not coming up with anything Please help me!!!!!!!! WE ARE GOING TO BE TOGETHER FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS THATS LONGER THAN MY MARRIAGE LOL

I don't think we know who you are because we interviewed on 10/2.
What have those of you who have interviewed at UCF learned about the status of full tuition scholarships for the class of 2014? I know it's still tentative and REL mentioned a few pages back that they were working on assembling nice scholarship packages for accepted students, but does anyone have any more knowledge on the matter they are willing to share?
I'm a junior at the moment (applying next year), but I imagine others are pretty interested in the scholarship situation too.

Thanks! It really does sound like an impressive program...congrats on your acceptance!!
All I remember from the interview is that they are working on the fundraising, but don't have anything definite yet. PM REL, I would imagine he has the most updated info. Sorry!
Congrats. It's an awesome day!
