<p>I had a rec, but I never read it.
One of my essays was solid, the other was okay.</p>

<p>What are my realistic chances?</p>

<p>Also, I was deferred on November 1st.</p>

<p>Deferred means wait-listed? The prognosis is not good if you're wait-listed.</p>

<p>Seriously, try for Summer session. Call Admissions and see if it may be done.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for the quick reply. Deferred just means that I will be given a final admissions decision on March 28th. I will be writing a formal letter to FSU to try for summer session.</p>

<p>Also I have taken a pretty rigorous schedule filled with AP and Honors classes, if that means anything nowadays.</p>

<p>Once again, thanks for the quick reply!</p>

<p>AP classes and difficult classes impress the Admissions folks at FSU more than mere SAT scores, it seems sometimes.</p>

<p>Keep up this kind of effort and let them know. I'd discuss your classes and your grades to ensure it gets a read.</p>

<p>I e-mailed FSU and they told me.</p>
