When filling out FSU’s online application they have a little check box labeled something along the lines of “Have you ever recieved a D or an F on a report card?” Of course, I had to check it, but in doing so I feel like it automatically tells them to just throw away my application. Has anyone been accepted that checked that box? I have already been accepted to UNF, which boosted my confidence for being accepted to FSU, but I also know that FSU is much more prestigious so I still feel like my chances are very slim.
Depends how many Ds/Fs 1 or 2 Ds could be looked over with a really good SAT score and if you retook the class and got a better grade. I don’t know about an F because your gpa would be low to begin with.
If the grade was a D or F for a semester grade, yes, it can be the kiss of death for a lot of applications. However, it is not an instant rejection. The most likely outcome is to be deferred until the March decision date, with your grades from this fall semester being the big factor that decides whether you ultimately get accepted or not- so be sure to do well this semester.
FSU gets what is on your transcripts, so you could possibly get a D or F for a quarter and then a good grade the next quarter and it balance out- and FSU may never know.
