<p>Question: How exactly do I check if I was offered a scholarship or not? And when I tried to look at the financial aid; it said that self service was not available?</p>
<p>For people wondering if they’ve gotten any scholarships:
For merit-based scholarships, if you received any, it shows up on the Online Status Check page (the page that everyone found their acceptances on). Under Admission Decision and Enrollment Information, it will say Admission Scholarships with information regarding the scholarships FSU is offering you. They also would have emailed you and told you that “you’ve been selected to receive a scholarship from Florida State University’s Office of Admissions” with a link to view them.
(This is not the same for financial aid awards. I’m not sure about the process for that since I’m not eligible for need-based aid.)</p>

<p>My entire transcript I counted my 90-100 for my a’s but I have 26 not 2 b’s. My school does not weigh our AP classes. My weighted GPA that my counselor did for me was a. 4.2 GPA. My schools GPA methods suck. But I am not lying most of the a’s are from regular classes (PE, health BIM, web technologies) the b’s are a majority of my AP/honors classes. That’s why the a’s don’t really help since the AP/honors count more, and since I have like 20 b’s in them it really hurts me.</p>
<p>Accepted for fall 2014!
ACT: 26
Uw/W gpa: 3.2/3.5
I really didn’t think I would make it in because of my low gpa and average ACT but just shows that it’s not always about numbers. I definitely think it was my improvement and character that was shown through my essay that got me accepted. Good luck to any future applicants that don’t necessarily think they have “college confidential stats” haha</p>
