Anyone know when FSU releases admissions decisions for EA?
January 25th
I read an article in tally newspaper indicating that FSU surprised students last year with an early notification on Dec 8th. I wonder if this will happen again this year?
That would be awesome! I don’t think I can wait until January 25!
@DadinOP but the release date was scheduled for December, as it has been for the past 4 years. This is the first time I have heard of it being in January.
@lisaol Darn, the newspaper article made it sound like students were surprised with an unexpected early decision. The waiting is the hardest part. LOL Thank you for your reply.
Early would be a nice Xmas present! Admissions sent my D an email this week saying her app was complete and cleared for a Jan 25 decision. Did not say much but good to know no issues and decisions coming. Good luck to everyone else.
My daughter received a communication from the program major she applied to that said she would be notified on December 8th…
Can we ask what program major that was?
I hope the December 8th hunch/rumor/hope is true. This is what was posted on Admissions Facebook page on November 22nd when someone asked if they would notify in December…" At the start of each admissions cycle in August, we publish the decision dates. For the last few years, the first decision date has been in early/mid December. But this year we moved the first decision date to January 25. The reason for this is that we decided to push back our deadline from mid-October to November 1st to allow students more time to apply."
FSU isn’t going to post decisions this early. The reason some people found out on December 8 last year was because when FSU gets ready to release the decisions, they update their system around 5pm for the midnight decisions, which meant that some accounts have their decisions accidentally released early.
There’s a big difference between 7 hours early and 6 weeks early. If they’re going to release decisions early this year, it will be on January 24. Don’t get your hopes up for any information coming out in December - you’re just going to end up disappointed.
Certain majors (any of them that required an interview) might have some admissions determined earlier than FSU, but I would be surprised if it’s many of them. FSU has to admit someone to the university before most of those programs will accept anyone.
@Pasbal - It looks like you were right! The only explanation we have so far is that the email we received was repurposed from last year and they forgot to change the date…
