2nd Round -- What are my chances?!

Colleges and Universities A-Z Florida State University
1

I didn’t apply early decision because I did not initially plan on attending FSU. I’ve already applied for the March decision, but I am aware the admission rate is going to drop. I’m not sure I can get in because my SAT score is subpar…but the rest of my record is pretty decent. Please help me with this. Thank you!

UW GPA: 3.87
W GPA: 4.3
New SAT: 1150 (WR 640, 510 M)
Class rank: upper top 10%
Overall college GPA (dual enrollment): 3.92
President’s List
Chosen major: Editing, Writing & Media (considering Creative Writing)

Dual enrollment + early admission (all college courses for senior year). Will have Associate’s degree by Spring graduation. All Honors core courses throughout high school (All A’s and a few B’s).
More involved at my community college than highscool since it’s virtual.
Other:
Sigma Kappa Delta (English Honor Society) Supporting Officer
Published creative writing in campus literary journal
Published work in several editions of another publication
Chapter’s Senior Editor for Her Campus magazine
Received certificate for service in Sigma Kappa Delta
National English Honor Society (high school)

I’m also in the college’s Honors program with a 4.0 honors GPA.

I think your chances would’ve been great in the earlier round (deadline in October). Now it seems for the next round they may be accepting as few as 25 percent of the rest of the applicants. I don’t know what this will do to the stats with respect to whom they accept, so all you can really do is hope for the best. And make sure you have backup options.

Good luck!

Someone shared an article from the Tallahassee paper on here recently. According to the article, FSU is estimating to accept around 4,000 students out of 20,000 applicants in the next round.

Wow, that’s 1 in 5 for the RD round.

Yeah, I read that article–which is why I’m wary about getting in.

Thank you! This makes sense. I guess I have a slight chance, then.
