Colleges and Universities A-Z Florida State University

<p>Hello out there! My name is Alyssa and I am starting the application process for the Spring 2012 term at FSU. I am currently finishing my AA degree at FSCJ (Jacksonville community college) with one class to go! As of August, I will have received my AA with at best a 3.4 GPA, at worst 3.1. I am so incredibly nervous about acceptance that I've begun to drive my family nuts! I've done my best to narrow my many concerns to the questions below. Thanks, all--</p>

<ol>
<li><p>My GPA is decent at the community college level but I've heard that FSU will include the F's I have received and will not honor grade recovery (failed attempts that I re-did to receive a higher grade). If that's the case, my GPA will drop to a 2.4 according to FSU's calculations. However, I am hopeful that as an AA transfer the GPA requirement is only a 2.0?</p></li>
<li><p>I am planning on e-mailing an admissions counselor, specifically the Women's Studies department about my interest in FSU. Any advice on proper e-mail format or examples of effective communication as a perspective student? </p></li>
<li><p>Are there any additional factors that could help sway my acceptance into FSU? For instance, submitting an essay and recommendation letters?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thank you to any and all who take the time to read or respond to this. I can't begin to express how grateful I am for any advice and information that you are willing to share! </p>

<p>I transferred from a community college also. If your program is not limited access you should get in with no problems. Actually I failed a class an re did it and it didn’t drop my gpa it was forgiven so hopefully that happens for you to. Also with an AA you get pushed in front of other transfers you should be good.</p>
