+1 IS sec, prompts same as last year

+1 IS

I'm at 2000 characters out of 4000 for the diversity prompt, and I don't know how to expand on it. Any opinions on whether it is necessary to get close to the max for this kind of prompt?

Quality over quantity. The length doesn't matter. Ask yourself, what traits of mine does this portray to adcoms? If you are satisfied with it then just leave it at that.

current matriculating ucf m1! i was at 2090/4000 so def quality over quantity

When should we be expecting interviews to roll out??

mid to late august

last year they sent some out late july/early august

lets see then

do you lowkey wanna like read my stuff? this is my top choice and i wanna get insight from someone who's gone through their process successfully (pls) (no pressure tho lol)

How long did it take for reference letters to be verified and marked as complete on portal? Submitted my secondaries 2 weeks after invitation, and my letters are still marked as missing.

Mine took a day after submission

Thank you!

+1 IS sec on 08/07 (got verified on 08/07 and they sent it right away)

u scared me, i thought it was an interview invite

oh sorry, i made sure to put "sec" for that reason!

Congrats to everyone getting IIs! Just curious tho are these all instate or did anyone OOS get an II today?

Not sure about the rest, but mine was instate.

Also, not sure if others who got ii today are having this problem but there seems to have been a computer glitch with their system with interview scheduling and available times. I was able to reach out and they promptly responded and was able to manually schedule. Good luck all!

good luck dude

+1 OOS II !!!! (As of Friday forgot to update)

Congrats!
IS? Any ties or anything you think made the difference?

I don't have any strong ties to the school! I'm from a nearby southern state but no family living in Florida currently! Some of my close relatives were born and raised in FL so I commented on that!

With UCF secondary prompts being so short (other than the personal statement), I tried to convey a different aspect of my personality and accomplishments in each response since we were so limited.

Honestly though, I was totally shocked to receive an II coming from OOS!

That's amazing I'm sure you portrayed yourself really well congrats again and thanks!

are they usually this slow with sending out interview invites, im stressin lol

+1 OOS II !!

Had the MOST WONDERFUL experience with the UCF interviews!! I was nervous because previously I've only done MMI format and was worried we'd reach an awkward silence with 30 minutes to talk but the interviewers were truly amazing and so kind and welcoming!!! I hope everyone has the same great experience I did <3

this is so reassuring to hear! I've done a few mocks but I was stressing since this is my first one.
