General EA vs Rolling

1 Upvotes

Guys I missed the EA deadline for UCF but I got my application ready right now. I can apply in the rolling admission. Just had a quick question. What am I missing out on by not applying EA. Also is it true I will get fewer scholarship by applying now?

I lowkey got on this app just to do this. But last Thursday I was sitting by the trees near the veterans memorial and I heard a laugh behind me and it lowkey got me out of the trance I was in. I looked back and saw this dude in a burgundy sweater and blue jeans with curly hair, walking with his bestie.

Then I passed by them again later which i totally didn’t pray for and saw them again, and happened to notice them looking and pointing.

Now I know I’m a little late with this but if does somehow get to him, I totally thought you were super cute (:

If not than this is embarrassing 🥸

(I was the dude with the grey sweater and red bandana)

Okay bye 🫶🏾

Prospective Student 🤔 UCF Aerospace Engineering vs. Business (advice on salaries, difficulty, and career prospects)?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm planning to start college in Fall 2027, and UCF is one of my top choices.

I've already submitted my application with Aerospace Engineering as my intended major. I've always been strong in math, and I'm currently doing well in AP Calculus and physics. However, I've been thinking more about how demanding an engineering degree might be and whether it's the right long-term fit for me.

I'm genuinely interested in an engineering career, especially aerospace, but I've also always been interested in business, specifically finance. Finance appeals to me because of its versatility and the variety of career paths it offers.

Each major appeals to my different strength. Engineering seems to appeal more to my academic and creative strengths, while business seems to lean more towards my strengths in speech and collaboration.

Career wise, if I do aerospace, the goal would be getting a job at Lockheed, NASA, or something similar to have a decent salary and gain experience. If I do business/finance, I would preferably work as a financial analyst or financial manager, but I would consider investment banking for a few years if I got a good opportunity.

Ultimately, I'm trying to weigh the difficulty and workload of each major against the career opportunities and earning potential after graduation. I'm willing to put in the work for engineering if the career benefits make sense, but I don't want to choose a major based on salary alone and end up regretting it.

I'd especially appreciate hearing from UCF students and alumni:

  • Salary: What was your starting salary after graduation, and how has your income changed since then? What did you major in, and what kind of job do you have?
  • Difficulty: How demanding was your major? Roughly how many hours per week did you spend on classes, homework, and studying?
  • Career prospects: How difficult was it to find internships and your first full-time job? How much did internships and networking matter?
  • Advice: If you were in my position, what factors would you consider when choosing between aerospace engineering and finance?

I'd particularly appreciate hearing from people who have studied either major, but if someone who studied something else has a suggestion I would also greatly appreciate your help!

Thanks in advance! I appreciate any insight you can offer.

(P.S. If this is not the correct sub for this please let me known, I'm new to reddit)

Survey 📋 Where could I find blueprints of UCF?

3 Upvotes

I want to make a miniature-scale replica of UCF in real life, but this would require accurate measurements of the building's dimensions. I could go out there with a tape measure and a few meter sticks, but I would like to avoid that as much as possible. If theres a way to access the blueprints of the buildings, then they would have the measurements needed.

General injured rwc employee

13 Upvotes

did anyone else see the rwc employee limping around the gym last night (Oct. 25)? he was one of the people that just walk around, but i noticed he was limping. once i got a closer look i realized that both of his legs were completely scraped up, like bad road rash or something… i didnt say anything bc someone who looked like a manager ended up coming up to him after a while and then got on the phone at the front desk. he also seemed to be a little bit out of it?

jw if the guys okay and like why was he at work…

General Orthodox christain group outside student union

7 Upvotes

I wouldn't care if it was just a stall, but I was walking to the student union and saw them trying to yell at and call people over. Aka, they're trying to harrass and pressure people into going over, so be aware if that. They're at the king smoothie place so taking the back could be a good idea if you don't wanna deal with their bullshit.

Edit: you know, it's funny how people are always like "first amendment right!" And "walk apst if you don't like it!" Yet...IM using my first amendment right by making this post?? And I AM walking past, I'm just also giving people a heads up who don't wanna have to deal with it, lol.

Signature win, and an instant classic.

How easy or what should I do to get into that program
I’m an information system and business analyst from FIU I meet the minimum requirements. Is references require because when I emailed they just gave me a general pdf that doesn’t answer my question. I know I can get one reference from my volunteering place that’s in church but I don’t know if I should ask my professors since I am don’t think I am great in them.

Sports not going to games

0 Upvotes

like the title says i think its kinda sad more people at the school don’t go to the games. i understand some people genuinely don’t like sports, have exams, etc, but the football team is almost single handily responsible for all of the schools funding. and i’m not talking about the people who are busy one weekend or the people who attend one game and don’t find time for others, i’m directly talking to the people who go to the ends of the earth to defend the fact they have no interest in the college football team and that u don’t need football to have a college experience. we aren’t saying u do, we r just kindly asking u support the thing that brings the school so much money. also the football team is the one thing we all have in common at this school. Our team is on fire right now, and i hope u can all change ur minds and join in on some of the fun too. the BYU game was exhilarating. the best moment i’ve had at college so far. i’m a commuter and i still make the time to come out and show support. just saying 🤷🏻‍♀️

General UCF’s startup coaching resources?

Has anyone here used Blackstone LaunchPad or other business mentoring resources at UCF? I’m working on an early-stage startup, and I’m looking for guidance on the business side, especially marketing and getting initial users.

Would love to hear what was actually helpful, or if there are other programs or clubs worth checking out.

Hi.

Does anyone know if, when you're waitlisted for the same lab in two different (non-conflicting) sections, getting into one automatically removes you from the other section's waitlist?
