Members don't see this ad.

Same. I'm wondering if they call the day off or slowly let people know throughout the month.

I believe (and I could be wrong), they call people the next day to let them know whether they have been accepted or waitlisted.

 

[Allergic to Toradol]

Aw man, I thought they meet today and we find out tomorrow.

My biggest weaknesses are being too excited and mildly impatient.

They are meeting today and we will get the call tomorrow, Feb 8th.

I hope you're right!
I was under the impression that they'd just meet today. It would be epic to get the call today instead of having to wait even longer...

I remember them saying multiple times we would hear today. (Feb 8th). Hoping for good news!!! Let us know if anyone gets the call today!

My phone is casually sitting out on my desk, volume up. Sorry everyone else in my office, this is IMPORTANT.

 

[Chemist1986]

Okay. Just confirmed.
They met yesterday so they should call today...

Anyone from the lower middle third get accepted? Praying for a miracle.

Really wished i could trade my other acceptances for here. Im bummed out

 

[lpp06]

I seriously advise editing your post

 

[Chemist1986]

She just told me I'm in the middle third...
Very slight chance I guess.

 

[wing5]

Does anyone know how large the waitlist is at this point? How many people make up the top third?

I was told it was around 190 on the phone.

Lower or upper?

Last month they told me 150.

 

[Chemist1986]

Didn't say.
Just said middle third.

I think she could tell I was really disappointed by what she said so she made the conversation really short.

You'll get an email telling your position.

 

[wing5]

Someone posted they usually pull 80 people off the waitlist- I wonder if that includes people already pulled off and accepted?

 

[Judson]

You'll get an email telling your position.

When did this come? My emails haven't indicated my position on the waitlist. I had to call to find out which third I am in.

Wow, wrong thread. I haven't even interviewed here yet. Lol. My bad!

@REL
Does the admissions committee offer feedback about post II decisions?

@REL

Yes, we mention that process when we call you with the committee decision.

 

[yane4000]

Does anyone know when the next update email should be coming out?

And how many interview groups are left?

 

[Dolphan72]

Yes, we mention that process when we call you with the committee decision.

@REL Thank you for your reply. Do we receive feedback regarding our overall application with strengths/weakness, etc. via email after the call with the decision?

Yes an email assessment is available upon receiving your request via email.

 

[Chemist1986]

Just found out I'm in the lower half of the middle third...
It was nice believing I almost had a chance here.

So sorry, friend. Did you get an email or did you email them?

 

[Chemist1986]

I emailed them to ask!

 

[Euclid4]

Is it safe to assume that if you were once on the waitlist, that scholarships are essentially off the table?

Or is everyone accepted, considered?

Thanks!

Everyone that is accepted is considered. In the recent past all got some form of scholarship/grant even if minimal. I know that there is scholarship/grant money available for this class, just don't know how the scholarship committee will portion it out. There will likely be lots of offers but don't know how deep the pot is. The money from the offers declined will go back into the pot to be given to others.

 

[born2run]

@REL how does the committee choose scholarship recipients?

@REL can I assume at the end of this week if I don't receive an interview for UCF I will not be receiving one at all?

... I think so ... I just wished we have total disclosure about where at the very bottom of the WL we are! ... then we should be able to start with our plan B as soon as possible, not in August !!! I just find that the weather in Miami is a motivation to study, or an incentive for a job well done!

They run the spectrum from need and merit to diversity of skills and experiences.

As you must know we are open to discussion via email for those on the WL.

So our final interview date is in the first week of March, we normally like to give an invitation about 3 weeks in advance. That means we are pretty much here with final list from committee pending. We will send out emails to those who we will not interview by the end of this week or very early next week.

Do you have an idea of when the committee will begin giving out scholarships to accepted students?

[CLB_MD]

What do you mean rejected? Is not it that UCF does not "reject" anybody? I am assuming you were placed @ the bottom 3rd, right?

You received a rejection letter today?

 

[tsy]

Rejected pre-II today as well

 

[CLB_MD]

You received a rejection letter today?

I received an email at ~3 pm today that I would not be receiving an interview from UCF COM, and the title of the email was "Application Decision," so it was a pre-II rejection.

 

[Anxious Affect]

Rejected pre-II, twice (2 e-mails; I must have been especially bad lol). Good luck everyone!

Yes, me too....as if getting rejected once wasn't enough. I thought maybe they changed their mind...lol😉

 

[MiamiBoyy]
