Sorry!  I don't want anyone to think that guaranteed bid means guaranteed happiness.

Of course... it's possible in some cases that a person would grow to love her last choice group after she gives it a try for a few weeks.
Anyway, the point may be moot since we don't have confirmation if UCF guarantees placement or not. Very few schools do.

UCF definitely does not guarantee bids. However, as long as your grades are good, and you go in with an open mind, you stand a pretty decent chance.
Sophomore standing can affect you, but it is nowhere near as bad as at some schools. Back in my day, I think a sophomore who was otherwise a strong candidate would at least have a chance at every chapter. Again, having an open mind is imperative, and recs wouldn't kill you either. (They're not all that common at UCF in my experience, so they will help you stand out.)

Thanks everyone for answering my question! All your answers were really helpful. I'm currently in the process of trying to get my recs right now, so I'm glad I got on that.
