      @kathyxli24  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Of course!! And tbh I’m still trying to establish in state residency for spring 2021 Semester as you have to have evidence that you lived in Florida for a full year. I do have a house in Florida and I’ve stayed in it for a full year now so I hope that my residency is reclassified to in state. I recommend contacting the registrars office or visiting registrar.ucf.edu/residency-reclassification/ for more information 😊

    Hi Kathy - I'm a parent of a prospective student who was just accepted (he's hospitality, too). We're coming down in two weeks to look at the campus. It will be tough without tours, but we want to see it in person. From your video, I think we should visit the Student Union, Breezeway, Library, etc. Any other suggestions on getting the most out of a self-led tour? We're also going to check out the Rosen campus. (Loved your video, BTW).

      Hi, firstly thank you so much for watching my video, I actually just got hired as a campus ambassador/tour guide and I'm in the process of planning a virtual tour video so make sure to subscribe for some more college content. Yes definitely visit the student union and see the renovated sections. I also recommend visiting memory mall which is the big open green field where most of the classroom buildings are. If you have any questions you can or your student can also DM me on Instagram @kathyxli and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have there. There will also be a lot of Q&A panels led by UCF's admissions team to learn more about campus and student life.

As for health care, there is a health center on the main campus that is free for students to go to if they aren't feeling well. Then you can also register your insurance to cover other fees like x-rays, crutches, and stuff like that. You can visit this website for more information: ucfhealth.com/ Currently with COVID-19, we have a telehealth program: ucfhealth.com/lp-telehealth/?gclid=CjwKCAjwkun1BRAIEiwA2mJRWW_2eJG4M1Cy6ev-WRHUc-mwLxJEaPKUDLwFfuxyua2maJIl6oQu-xoCSkwQAvD_BwE

    Hey, great video. I got deferred for summer term, but I really want to attend fall. I genuinely think my stats aren’t bad, I’m not trying to boast but I got accepted to higher ranked schools with my stats, so I don’t understand why I wasn’t given fall term. Is there anything I can do about this??
    Also.....does it matter which dorm I live in for freshman year. I want something in proximity to my classes, but if first years take the same classes then does it really matter if I live by the college of my major?

    • @kathyxli24
      @kathyxli24  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Gaelle, I'm so sorry you got deferred. I recommend calling admissions often to see if you can get any updates and if there is anything you can do about the situation. Even if you got accepted to higher ranked schools, you need to follow your heart and where you think you'll have the most success. I know that's easier said than done but trust me, if UCF has your heart, it won't matter when you start as long as you are pursuing a degree at school that you love no matter the ranking. I also don't necessarily think it matters where you live for your freshman year because everyone's schedule is different but I do recommend living on the main campus as a lot of campus life happens there. Not everyone takes the same exact courses freshman year, you choose which ones you think would be the best fit for you. Most freshmen take GEP courses and maybe some prerequisites towards courses specific to their major. When you commit to UCF and attend orientation, there will be academic advising that will help you with all of that. I have more college videos coming soon so make sure to subscribe to my channel for that content :)

I am a hospitality management major and I lived on main campus my entire freshman year so it is definitely manageable. Just a tip is to have good time management so you can catch the shuttles or if you have a car, know how much travel time you need to commute to the Rosen campus for some of your hospitality classes there 🤗

    Hi, as an out of state student looking at this school, if I stay on campus for freshman year will I qualify as in state for sophomore year?

      Hi Dylan! I can't believe I never responded to this. I'm so sorry, I haven't been on TH-cam in a little bit. If you stay on campus for freshman year, you can not use your address on campus as your in state address. You must have a residency in florida for a full year like an actual house or apartment that is under your name or your parents name if you are classified as a dependent somewhere in the Florida State.

    hey! I’m looking into going to UCF but I looked up the average gpa and test scores and now I’m worried I won’t get in. I have a 4.0 gpa, am in 4 NHSs, am in multiple clubs, am a president of a club- stuff like that. but my ACT is lower than the average person who gets into UCF (I’m retaking it in September so I will hopefully get it a few points up). What do you think my chances are of getting in? Do you have any advice for me? I’d really appreciate it ! xx

    • @kathyxli24
      @kathyxli24  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! The average GPAs on our website are actually class averages and then the higher your GPA is within that range the more competitive your application is 😊 it’s great to hear that you are really involved because I was actually super involved in extracurriculars and I think that is one of the reasons I got into ucf.

    • @kathyxli24
      @kathyxli24  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I can’t say for sure what your chances are of getting in but it seems like you would be a great addition to ucf. Just make sure to show us your potential in that essay and APPLY EARLY!! the earlier the better 😊

      Yes, a lot of student scholarships are offered through our Access to Opportunities website (A2O) website: ucf.academicworks.com/. You can find more info about international scholarships here as well: global.ucf.edu/international-students-scholars-and-professionals/scholarships/. You will be contacting UCF global a lot when admitted as an international student.

      The events vary sometimes, like with spirit splash pre covid, it would be all students could go and then there are events that you need to rsvp and claim tickets for but usually are free with your UCF id 😊💛🖤

      I didn’t have the highest SAT score either and that’s a great GPA! I say it depends on how great your application is overall.
