Understanding UCF regular decision process?

Can anyone share insights on the regular decision process for UCF? I'm wondering about the timeline and how it compares to early decision or early action if that's available.

UCF (University of Central Florida) operates on rolling admissions, which means that applications are reviewed as they are received, without any strict deadlines. Once your application is complete, it typically takes about four to six weeks to get a decision. However, during peak times, it can take up to eight weeks to hear back. Keep in mind that applications open in August each year, and applying early increases your chances of receiving a decision sooner.

Another factor worth mentioning is that scholarship consideration is also on a rolling basis at UCF, with scholarships being awarded as long as funds are available. The earlier you apply, the better your chances of receiving merit aid if you're eligible.

In terms of deadlines, the priority application deadline for the Fall term is November 1st. Meeting this deadline will give you priority consideration for merit-based scholarships and the Honors College. The final application deadline for the Fall term is May 1st.

Remember to send your official high school transcripts as well as any standardized test scores if you have them (SAT or ACT) as soon as possible after you've submitted your application, to avoid any delays in your application review process. Make sure your financial aid submissions (like the FAFSA) are also taken care of in a timely manner. Good luck with your application!
