I am an out of state resident applying to FSU. what do they look for?
Someone who can tackle
Best answer ever.
haha, but in all seriousness
In all seriousness, here is what FSU states on their website about the type of student they are looking for, along with the stats for Freshman class admitted 2018 https://admissions.fsu.edu/freshman/WWLF/
It seems like the GPA and SAT scores are very high, but I come from a very competitive state and it is more rigorous than Florida schools. Will they take that into account based on my GPA?
“More rigorous than Florida schools” is subjective. And Florida flagship universities draw students nationally and internationally, so the GPA and SAT scores listed are high based on those accepted students, not just students from the state of Florida. No one on this board say what FSU Admission will or won’t take into account based on how you measure up in your particular location, particular school, GPA and test scores. There can only be an educated guess based on FSU admission profile on the website linked above You might want to review last year’s class acceptance/rejection thread for more insight http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/florida-state-university/2031326-fsu-class-of-2022-accepted-rejected.html#latest.
You have been so helpful thank you!
@e50503 When you say rigorous- did you take IB? Florida schools love IB and reward for it.
We don’t have IB but we have AP
My son is a senior at FSU from NY (Long Island) he had a 92 and a 27 ACT- he had a few IB classes-FSU loves OOS students in competitive high schools…My middle son is at UF he had a 95 and 26 ACT with IB or college level courses he got into FSU but choose UF. I hope this helps.

I know I am missing some things, but this is the core stuff. Be brutally honest.
she would be a strong competitor in FSU!!!
Thanks @e50503 we talked to admin and they said since she applied just recently she wouldn’t be up for scholarship and honors. So with that said that will be a factor when she decides where she will go. But thank you for the input
