Florida State & Graduate Schools

<p>Hey guys I was recently accepted into FSU and I'm not sure if I will be going there or not.
Is Florida State looked down upon for graduate school and does the honors program there make any difference? If I get good grades (3.5+) Should I be able to go to a top school?</p>

<p>FSU is a national university and has an excellent reputation as such. If you do your part as a student you can go anywhere.</p>

<p>For example, consider this grad student: [FSU</a> student has nation’s top dissertation in physics](<a href=“http://www.gradschool.fsu.edu/News-Recognitions/In-the-News/Former-Student-Has-Nation-s-Top-Dissertation-in-Nuclear-Physics]FSU”>http://www.gradschool.fsu.edu/News-Recognitions/In-the-News/Former-Student-Has-Nation-s-Top-Dissertation-in-Nuclear-Physics)</p>

<p>Do you really think this student will have trouble getting a post-doc slot? </p>

<p>Me neither.</p>

<p>Oh, yeah - here’s another example (almost irresistible :)) of where FSU grads can go. This is a good one to show to your competitors at HYPS:</p>

<p>Welcome to the Tribe. ;)</p>

<p>^do have any examples of top physcians that have graduated from FSU. I’m always hearing of doctors from UF and I was wondering did you know of any examples?</p>

<p>FSU Med is only 10 years old, while UF Med is about 54 years old. It takes time.</p>

<p>However, FSU Med has already earned a visit from the CEO of the AAMC, which is notable:

<p>It supposedly took UF Med decades to have the CEO of the AAMC address the College.</p>

<p>But - here are some FSU Med students working towards being top docs:

<p>Still apparently loves the 'Noles…</p>

<p>^ wow thank you very much for the plethora of information. I truly find it an inspiration to see students who aren’t just from “UF” work towards excelling at their choosen profression and get great recognition at that! :slight_smile: again thank you very much, I found the info both inspiring and helpful.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any knowledge about FSU 's international relations/affairs. I know its in Tallahassee so there are great internship options</p>
