FSU Safety?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Florida State University

<p>Hey guys, I need some reassurance that FSU is my safety school and I can get in no problem. I have heard horror stories about getting into no schools, and that would be awful.</p>

<p>I have a 3.7 UW GPA with 12 AP/ AICE classes and more honors.
My SAT was a 1290,1890 but I'm almost postitive I raised it to a 2000.
My EC's are average (Travel soccer captain, NHS officer, surf club officer) </p>

<p>Pleae reassure me that I wont get denied because I am applying to a lot of reach schools and I may not get into any of the others! </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Hmm, safety school with a 1290 critical reading and math.</p>

<p>Maybe its time to give FSU a little more credit??? :expressionless: </p>

<p>Better luck with USF as a safety with a 1290 nowadays</p>

<p>So I should apply to UCF or USF as another backup? </p>

<p>People from my school last year were getting in with 3.3’s and 1150’s so I just assumed I would be good?</p>

<p>I think you are a match. Maybe a safety if you applied by the priority deadline. Your certainly in for summer, but likely for fall.</p>

5

<p>^I agree with this. Match.</p>

6

<p>Alright thanks guys. I’m applying for summer, but just in case I’ll apply to UCF as well.</p>

<p>got in for summer with a 3.8 UW 4.2 W and 1050 SAT…I’m ashamed of the score but im in. if you’re ok with going for the summer then you’re fine!</p>

<p>At FSU GPA and course rigor are more important than test scores. Ultimately, success depends much more on work and determination than testing ability.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I know literally nothing about FSU! But if you really have a 2000, you should be fine getting into a second-tier school (which I’m pretty sure FSU is? I don’t know.) as a safety. My completely unprofessional opinion is you’re fine.</p>

<p>FSU is a Tier 1 school by US News reckoning.</p>

11

<p>UF UM AND FSU are all Tier 1 Universities, unlike UCF and USF which are Tier 3</p>

12

<p>Scores came back. 2060 on the SAT. Now a safety??</p>

13

<p>Your GPA is more important to admission than your SAT score. You will likely be accepted - if you apply EARLY. FSU can and will close freshman admission when they get the class they want.</p>

<p>If you want to have a lock on admission, try another school. As it says on the FSU Admissions website “Satisfying these minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.”</p>

14

<p>FWIW, UCF and USF are classified Tier 1 universities by US News.</p>

<p>i know this might seem like a dumb question but if you dont meet the minium requirements do you automatically not get in. i applied by priority deadline for fall2011 and after all my stuff was in i had found out that my cr score missed the min requirment by 10 points- should i forget about fsu even though they still contact me?</p>

16

<p>i have about an 86 gpa, a ton of ecs, a great essay and recemendations ( i know i cant spell lol)</p>

17

<p>^^ How did you make it through school spelling like that? I think you should repeat 3rd grade before attempting to apply to college.</p>
