<p>On my FSU admissions / status web page, the following inquiry now appears.
Does anyone else have this same new message ?
Has anyone responded yet ?</p>
<p>Enrollment Intention
Please indicate your enrollment intention below.<br>
Yes! I plan to attend Florida State University.
No I will not be attending Florida State University.
Undecided I have not made my college decision. (Please provide comments below.)</p>
<p>It does not say that on mine, but I’ve paid for everything.</p>
<p>My son’s admission status page has the same language. We checked that he’s undecided and explained that he’s waiting to see if he’ll be accepted to FSU’s Film School.</p>
<p>I am not too sure how factual the following statement is, but I have read on another web-site that if you fill-in the blank by indicating that you are awaiting financial assistance, if none was initially offered, before accepting their admission offer, the financial aid office may revisit your admission package in order to determine if you are a worthy applicant for finical aid in order to keep you as a student.</p>
<p>Interesting. I got the same message when I applied for last fall. I didn’t know about the financial aid trick. 
I just said “Yes - I am attending” and that was it.</p>
<p>That’s not true at all. Your financial aid isn’t going to be impacted by whether you check a box on FSU’s site. That isn’t how things work, period. </p>
<p>If you weren’t offered one of the FSU scholarships around the time you were accepted, you aren’t getting one now.</p>
<p>^^
Thanks for your responses, but as I see it, all freshman 2012 fall acceptances are given until May to make a decision on rather to accept the offer or not. That being stated, why would the admissions office now in January be inquiring if we plan on attending or not ?
Also I received a call from a representative from FSU today and the caller was very friendly and almost tried to “sell me” the school just as a used car salesman attempts to sell a car ! Quite a coincidence and obviously I didn’t tell her that I would respond by the second Friday in February, but I am sure she understood.</p>
<p>You do realize how much work goes into planning right? FSU has to plan everything for the upcoming year. It doesn’t surprise me at all that they would be asking people to decide early on whether they are planning to attend. They want to have a general idea of how many students are thinking of enrolling here. </p>
<p>And it really is just a normal coincidence to get a phone call from FSU. I got three between the day I was accepted and the day I attended Preview and paid off the rest of my fees, finalizing my attending FSU.</p>
<p>Also, if you decline the offer, then they know that a “position” is available to make an offer to someone else. They don’t want someone to sit on the offer until the last minute and then not attend.</p>
<p>Daviddj, the more posts I read, the more I hope UF is “lucky” enough to admit you. </p>
<p>I don’t think you’ll be happy here at all, and we will certainly be better off without you!</p>
<p>Daviddj- FSU had the same procedure last year. If you didn’t respond by a certain time they inserted that language into your Blackboard trying to prompt you to make a decision. It’s just standard protocol and my daughter, who is part of CARE, also got several calls
from FSU even after she accepted.</p>
<p>Thank you Nolette for putting that out there. daviddj you belong at UF period.</p>
<p>Mean, but so incredibly well earned.</p>
<p>Jossie<br>
daviddj you belong at UF period -------</p>
<p>Thank You; that is the nicest statement anyone can write for me !</p>
<p>daviddj, you don’t have to do anything with your FSU status change thingee–don’t worry about it–I went ahead and sent your response thing in for you as a favor…for everyone at FSU!</p>
<p>daviddj - I sure hope you "don’t’ respond until like december of this year… bah… I can’t help but laugh at how immature you are. </p>
<p>Pasbal highlighted some valid points above about planning process and as a transfer student I ever got calls from the admissions office, so they aren’t trying to sell you the school, they just want to know, so the numbers are taken care of.</p>
<p>I will do my civic duty and if luckily enough to be accepted at UF, I will immediately rescind my FSU acceptance in order to help out another freshman applicant.</p>
<p>you can’t rescind your acceptance, they have a wait list</p>
<p>If he hasn’t paid his admissions deposit and orientation fees, he can simply decline the acceptance from FSU.</p>
