<p>I toured FSU in April and one of the admission people directly said to me that they don’t. It’s one thing though if your applying to a college within the university.</p>

<p>They may not want a boatload of letters to consider, but for a student on the bubble with letters, they do consider them and they do report this information as part of the Common Data Set. See the link, that is FSU information posted on the FSU site.</p>

<p>A letter could be a tie-breaker and would also indicate enthusiasm about FSU.</p>
