to
1430
Acceptance
Roughly 41 to 45% (third-party estimate)
Typical GPA
4.1 to 4.5 recalculated core

The short answer: UCF's Fall 2025 entering class posted a middle 50% SAT of 1310 to 1430. A 1370 or higher makes your teen solidly competitive at one of America's largest universities.

Admits carry a 4.1 to 4.5 core GPA and 1310+. There is no test-optional path.

Entering students carry recalculated core GPAs of 4.1 to 4.5. UCF requires an SAT, ACT, or CLT score, like all Florida public universities.

The Bright Futures sweet spot

The FAS threshold of 1330 lands squarely inside UCF's admitted range. One training target produces three payoffs: 100% tuition from the state, a competitive UCF application, and a score knocking on FSU's door.
