<p>Hi All,
Well now that everyone has their acceptances and their fiasco with the housing priority numbers, lets move on to honors.</p>
<p>When and where can we find out if we were invited. Also, if you werent invited, what are the shots of petitioning and getting in.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how long it takes to find out if you were accepted to the nursing college.???</p>
<p>Some people have posted that they received e-mails already. I met with the Honors staff on our daughters visit to FSU two months ago. They said they mail letters out the day after FSU announces regular admissions. The stats change yearly but FSU Honors website posts last years average as well as the average ACT/SAT/GPA of successful petitions for appeal. The lady at FSU Honors stated appeals work very favorably for students with 3.5GPA and +27ACT and simply require a letter of recommendation from a teacher/counselor, an updated transcript showing fall grades and a short essay. </p>
<p>I sent an e-mail to FSU Honors requesting a status because I am impatient. I imagine if you have not heard anything by New Years to e-mail or call so you petition for appeal. Good luck!</p>
<p>My son received an emailing inviting him to honors the day after the decisions were posted. Stats are ~4.15 fsu gpa, 1920 sat and 32 act, he also received 9600 freshman scholarship. We haven’t received anything in the mail yet, this is all online or email. My other sons friend petitioned for honors with 1270 and was accepted. Good luck.</p>
<p>thank you for that valuable information mworld! do you know if you can petition for an undergrad scholarship? 3.6 fsu gpa, 600 720 550 sat, 29 act composite (34 in math)</p>

<p>I am not aware of the ability to appeal a scholarship. I would imagine there are many kids offered scholarships that will matriculate at other schools freeing up funds. I just don’t know.</p>
<p>Daughter got the freshman scholarship for $9,600 so I just assumed the Honors offer was a given. She is 4.7 weighted, 30 act, top 5% in a top rated public school in Louisiana (don’t laugh) with a challenging AP/Dual Enrollment senior schedule. We’ll keep our fingers crossed. Good luck to everyone and GEAUX NOLES!!!</p>
<p>if the fsu gpa is a 4.7, hot damn! although i have a 4.4 weighted and a 3.6 fsu, along with the same 5 ap/2 de senior schedule ;)</p>
<p>Josie, your stats are very good, just your gpa is a bit low. You should def apply for honors and call admissions to see exactly what your fsu gpa is. They told me that very few have higher than a 4.4 and those were the top students in the state. 4.7 is very high and is prabably not the fsu gpa which is lower than the one on your transcript. Anyway good luck.</p>
<p>my fsu gpa is a 3.6. but im applying for honors if i get petitoned because i meet the 3 out of four requirements.</p>
<p>Does FSU Honors guarantee placement in Landis or Gilchrist? Are they hard to get into? I have a very low priority number, but the person I’m potentially rooming with hasn’t even filled out the housing contract yet. Are we going to be placed in one of the lower-quality dorms even though we’re honors?</p>
<p>you mean a low priority number? also, the other dorms are not low-quality; they are just not honors exclusive. if you room together you will potentially be placed in a less requested dorm.</p>
<p>Honors does not guarantee placement into Landis or Gilchrist. There are only around 400 spots in Landis and many more students are admitted into the Honors program. Even if you add in Gilchrist, there’s only around 630 spots available (and not all spots in Gilchrist are for Honors). </p>
<p>If the person you are wanting to room with has not filled out their application yet, you may want to start thinking about not rooming with them. You are going to be placed into a housing spot at the same time, and if your housing number is very low and theirs is very high, that will negatively impact you. </p>
<p>As Housing says, it may be best to change your application to make your preferred building more important to you, and then if your friend gets assigned the same building, to put in a request to room together after you get your assignments. </p>
<p>If your friend continues to delay their housing application, yes, you very well may get one of the “undesirable” dorms.</p>
<p>That’s not what I wanted to read… this is going to be a hard decision.</p>
<p>Go with your residence hall over your friend. Most likely the residence hall assignment will outlast the friendship anyway. ;-)</p>
<p>ironically, if you are best friends, it will most likely not last transitioning from HS to College; if you aren’t and just typical acquaintances maybe, it could last.</p>
<p>Just wondering, if I did not get accepted to the Honors program but still listed Landis as my first choice, will petitioning for honors and being admitted later place me at a lower chance of getting assigned to Landis than those who were admitted to Honors through their general application? My priority number is 56, so I don’t think that would put me at a disadvantage at all.</p>
<p>If you are accepted to Honors, whether by petitioning or when you are accepted to FSU, you are able to live in Landis. </p>
<p>You will be notified if you are accepted to Honors long before the housing people begin assigning spaces, so you will be good. :)</p>
