<p>Hi I wanted some opinions on my chances of getting into FSU for the 2013 year.</p>

<p>I have:
-2040 SAT score
-30 ACT composite
-4.3 FSU recalculated GPA (4.15 at my school I think)
-Almost all of my classes are Honors and I will graduate with 6 APs (I've made two 3's, a 4, and a 5 up to this point)
-I am in National Honor Society, National English Honor Society, National Latin Honor Society and Beta Club, as well as Thespian Society (I have been in around 7 productions)
100 hours of community service</p>

<p>Several awards at school
Outside school - church choir, vocal instruction at a local university, in the process of getting ASA certified for sailing, and I've studied guitar and piano.</p>

<p>I am a GA resident.</p>

<p>Does anyone know where I probably stand? Also for the Honors program?</p>

<p>Thanks! (:</p>

<p>Congratulations on a very nice academic record! You have worked very hard. Admission chance to Florida State is very good.</p>

<p>Admission to Honors is a little less certain, but within reasonable range:

<p>Awesome! Thank you! (:</p>

<p>Do you have any advice for the essay?</p>

<p>My rough draft I have right now has a very conversational tone and I’m not sure if it’s too risky.</p>

<p>Typically the [url=<a href=“FSU Admissions | Error 404 page not found”>FSU Admissions | Error 404 page not found]essay[/url</a>] is a tie-breaker and is used only in that event. However, this could always change unexpectedly so I suggest you take the essay seriously. Style is a personal preference. </p>

<p>Is that the essay for Fall 2012 or Fall 2013? Did not think application came out to Aug 1?</p>

<p>Yankees that is the essay for 2013, its on their website and I also emailed them to make sure.</p>

<p>Thanks…I also emailed them and they told me Fall 2013 info would be out August 1st. Not a big deal it is almost August 1st so I will wait</p>

<p>I think you will have no problem getting into honors. I was accepted to honors this year with a 4.2 FSU GPA and a 28 ACT. I had 9 AP and the rest Honors classes but you have way more extracurriculars than me.</p>

<p>Awesome! (:</p>

<p>I’m also C/O 2013 and planning on attending FSU. I’m not sure of my GPA right now because I do dual enrollment at the state college. I’m going to take multiple visits to FSU because my friend will be attending FSU this year.</p>

<p>You have really good stats. The only question mark is that OOS is significantly more difficult for acceptance than in-state. If I was venturing a guess, I’d say though you’re at probably a 90/10 chance of acceptance and a 60/40 shot at Honors.</p>

<p>Interesting the references in the application for admission essay topic to “world-class academic institution” and “global awareness.” Wonder if FSU is going to emphasize and push students more to do studies overseas for a semester? If I had extra money I’d like to do a semester in another country. The only country I’ve been to other than Florida is Georgia…USA!</p>

<p>Can someone PM me I applied at FSU, but have some questions about how to get in the honors college.</p>
