FSU and CARE program?

I’m applying for the fall 2017 term. If I don’t get into the CARE summer bridge program am I still eligible to be admitted into the Fall term as a regular freshman? Am I given the option to participate in the CARE program or do I have to do it once admitted? Thanks!

If you don’t get in through CARE, I don’t think you would get in through regular admission unless you were rejected from CARE due to non-academic reasons (e.g., not being the first in your family to go to college).

If a student is admitted through the CARE Program, which includes a lucrative stipend, then that person is obliged to participate in the program.
