<p>Hi guys,
I was deferred from FSU with:
- 3.91 weighted GPA
-3,24 unweighted GPA
- 1970 SAT
- amazing ECs such as Student Government, 4 years of a varsity sport, and many honor societies</p>
<p>I called admissions and they told me I was deferred because I received a D my freshman year. I sent in my mid-year transcripts with 2 As, 2 Bs, and 2 Cs because I slacked off senior year. Do you think I will get accepted after being deferred despite the 2 Cs? </p>
<p>I have to agree. Your GPA will be decreasing most likely. Your grades aren’t stellar. If you have already been deferred because of low grades, having Cs could be a red flag. There will be plenty of students in your position whose grades don’t have any Cs that will likely get accepted over you. </p>
<p>I don’t believe you got deferred because of a D freshman year. Junior or senior year, yes, but not freshman year. There was some other reason. I do agree that your two C’s put you in an almost impossible situation. </p>
<p>I have contacted FSU Admissions consistently and have kept them updated and explained my situation to them so hopefully that will help. I did receive a couple C’s throughout highschool so maybe that contributed to the decision…</p>
That is exactly the case, actually. FSU will basically automatically defer anyone anymore for a D or an F on your transcript from ANY year. This is because FSU has gotten more competitive and now anything can be the reason that you are not accepted. Any grade below a C is now cause for automatic deferment anymore. This has been the case at FSU for a couple years now and is only going to continue as FSU has to get more and more selective. </p>
<p>It doesn’t matter whether FSU is your dream school. I’m sure the admissions officers have a continuous flood of emails from applicants that say that FSU is their “dream” school. </p>
<p>Keeping them up to date and showing that you are on top of things if they become questionable is a bigger help than anything.</p>
