Admissions Decisions for Transfer Spring 2011

Colleges and Universities A-Z Florida State University

<p>Does anyone know when transfers students receive admissions decisions? I've heard there's a certain time that all freshmen get their decisions each semester and I don't know if it's the same for transfer students. I applied for Spring 2011 as an English (Writing, Editing and Media) Major over 3 weeks ago and they've got all my papers and transcripts, even my residency form and nothing's changed in 2 and a half weeks since. I'm kind of pressed for time and I've already been accepted into USF and UT but I don't want to make a decision until I know what’s up with FSU. </p>

<p>Also, I don't know if that rule still applies about Florida public universities automatically accepting transfers with their AA but what do any of you think my chances are of getting in?</p>

<p>In Florida, with an AA, one is guaranteed admission to one Florida University, not necessarily the one of the student’s choice. </p>

<p>I think you are likely in. But 3 weeks is not a long time the way FSU looks over admission info. I know you are anxious to here. Sit tight. You can call and inquire. You could call and speak with a transfer admissions counselor, mention that you have other acceptances but FSU is your top choice. Perhaps they can give you an idea of when they might decide.</p>

<p>For transfers, your file is evaluated by admissions AND the department/major you are applying for. So it takes a little time. It is likely at the English department now.</p>
