Chances of Acceptance?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Florida State University

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>I am a Senior in High School and I have already applied to Florida State. I am wondering what my chances are of being accepted for the summer. My credentials are as follows:</p>

<p>One important thing is that I am a 3 year graduate (skipped 11th Grade) and I will be graduating w/ 30 credits yet and still. I am a 16 year old Black Male. I am however an official Senior.</p>

<p>3.45 weighted GPA
25 Composite ACT (24 Math, 23 English, 29 Reading, 24 Science)</p>

<p>Dual Enrolled for 8 classes (Comp 1 & 2, Intermediate and College Alg, Precalculus, Psychology, Elementary Spanish, and College Success)</p>

<p>AP Classes: Environmental Science, Economics, and American Government.</p>

<p>Extracurricular: Officer in NJROTC, Black History Committee, FBLA, HOSA.</p>

<p>Finalist for 2007 Florida African American Student of the Year.</p>

<p>My academic load was very heavy. I do not have a grand array of electives but I do have 7 Science credits (Biology Major).</p>

<p>I look forward to your responses!

<p>At 16 yoa I’d say you are in. Congratulations. Pretty impressive record.</p>

<p>Thank You, I was hoping you were the user who replied to my post. One other thing that I am wondering about, how are the financial aid packages at FSU? My EFC is 0 and my household circumstances and somewhat harsh right now. I need all of the help i can get.</p>

<p>I suggest contacting FSU Admissions and advising them of your circumstances. You may find you are eligible for scholarships, even Honors, given your age and accomplishments. </p>

<p>You are obviously a remarkable young man. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I suggest going to collegeweeklive.com from 12-5pm tomorrow or Saturday (from: [fsu.edu</a> | admissions home](<a href=“FSU Admissions | Error 404 page not found”>http://admissions.fsu.edu/))</p>

<p>I have been talking with them and they have answered all of my questions and more.</p>

<p>Just wondering, but what is your unweighted GPA? A HS weighted GPA of 3.45 seems pretty low.</p>

<p>Ok I am kind of freaking out. I was accepted at FAU and FAMU. Those were my other schools, but I was deferred from USF. I know that FSU’s standards are higher than USF so is this a bad thing? Someone suggested that it could be because they are worried that I will not graduate since I am only a 3 year senior. Also I didn’t submit a resume, recognition letters, or an essay to USF. Input please?</p>

<p>Cam, Being deferred by USF means USF is still looking for a way to admit you. Call or email USF admissions ASAP, ask why they deferred you and ask what you need to do to be admitted. FSU may need the same things, so it is probably good to find out right now from USF for FSU admissions too. Good luck!</p>

<p>When you say looking for way do you mean maybe I haven’t submittied some documents or…? What is the case normally?</p>

<p>My guess is, USF wanted to wait for this semester grades to make a decision. You are 16, and they want to be sure you have the maturity to continue improvement as a “senior.” A “weighted” GPA of 3.4 is low, relatively speaking. And USF AND FSU looks only at your core GPA (4 English, 3-4 Math, 3-4 Science, 4 History, 2 Language).</p>

<p>Hang in there. Deferred just means they are waiting for more into to make a decision.</p>

<p>Only USF admissions knows why you were deferred. Contact them ASAP, they’ll help you.</p>

<p>I called and they said that I was deferred because there is no Junior year on my transcripts and they didn’t review the application because they thought it was a “flaw”. Doesn’t that seem sort of, illogical. I mean I am sure the University has had 3 year graduates before.</p>
