Chances for OOS Transfer Student into FSU

<p>Hey, </p>

<p>I am thinking about applying as a OOS (from the Northeast) transfer student to FSU for Summer session or Fall 2012. I already got into some awesome schools in the Northeast. I have approx. 80 credit hours. Overall College GPA, 3.0. High School GPA, 4.0. SAT/ACT scores are not required for transfer application. What are my chances at FSU? I know that OOS applicants don't have a good chance in general...should I still apply?? I plan to major in Chemistry. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Hard to say. Chemistry is apparently not limited access. Here is the site with the requirements: [The</a> Florida State University](<a href=“http://www.academic-guide.fsu.edu/chemistry.html]The”>http://www.academic-guide.fsu.edu/chemistry.html)</p>

<p>It includes the following statement:</p>

<p>“Note to prospective transfer students. Prospective transfer students should contact Ms. Robbin Hand, <a href=“mailto:rhand@admin.fsu.edu”>rhand@admin.fsu.edu</a> or 850.645.7156, with specific questions about admission and mapping requirements.”</p>

<p>Hey, thanks for the input…I’ll be sure to contact them…what exactly is “limited access”?</p>

<p>Limited Access refers to majors that only accept a certain number of people that apply specifically for the major. </p>

<p>And here’s a list of the programs that are considered “Limited Access” programs:

<p>^^^ so since apparently Chemistry is not limited access, does that increase my chances? :/</p>

<p>Yes. It basically means that as long as you get into the University, you should get into the major. With a limited access major, you might get into the University but still not get into the major due to limited “seats” available.</p>

<p>Does anyone one else want to provide input/advice??? Thanks!</p>

<p>What other information to you need or want? I think they answered all your questions. No one is going to say you are a shoo-in because we don’t know that for sure, but as they said…since it is not a limited access major you do have a better chance.</p>
