I'm applying to University of Central Florida with a 2.9. Any tips or thoughts about my chances of getting in? I've got about 2 years of work experience after undergrad. However, my undergrad was in Sociology. I've still got to get my letter of recs and submit a writing sample from undergrad work. The best paper I have is twice too long. Do you know if I could swing it by making it single spaced? I'm worried submitting a paper over the page limit would be bad. My only other option is a mediocre paper but fits the page count.
