<p>I was denied admission...had been on deferred list. Had already committed to USF anyway. At this point Florida students should be glad if they get into ANY state university with the budget and admissions tightening. Noticed out of state colleges are now advertising for Florida recruits on TV in Tampa area--saw TV ad for Troy University the other night. Attached is another newspaper article about Florida universities:</p>
<p>My ACT composite was 22. What surely doomed me was my English sub-score of 20--21 is the minimum FSU wants. If I had gotten a 21 English sub-score for last Fall's FSU decision, I probably would have been accepted then...Oh well!! I am glad I applied early to USF last Sept. and was accepted there. I understand very few applicants were accepted at USF after Jan 2008, with GPA's less then 3.5 or SAT's less than 1200. BTW my gpa was 4.1 and I have 50 semester hour credits of dual enrollment. I'm going to be a junior in college at 17.</p>
<p>waitlisted.. i accepted it and i called today to see what my chances were of getting in. the admissions lady was nice. she honestly said she didnt know because of how everything changed this year. instead of the usual 200 waitlisted they had about 2,000. because they accepted the highest caliber students they werent sure how many were actually going to stay or go to different schools ( ahem UF). and if they have room they do a whole reevaluation of all the waitlisted candidates and pick the best from that pool. which means I probably wont get in but who cares. I'll go to UCF.</p>
<p>UCF is a great school with so much to offer. You never know about the waitlist, but you should feel good about UCF. we are from ny and know of several kids who are very good students that did not get in to UCF.</p>
<p>the college acceptance process can be very difficult. it is good to make a decision (you have a great choice in UCF), and start preparing and planning for next fall. That will be an exciting time for you and I wish you the best of luck!</p>
<p>My boyfriend was accepted, his scores:
1370 SAT 4.4 GPA with many extracurriculars, strong senior schedule (4 AP courses) He is also valedictorian of his class. Even with stats like that, I was still a bit skeptical of whether or not he would make it in.
Was there anyone on this board accepted?</p>
<p>Received my denial letter today from FSU. In letter FSU admissions did invite me to participate in Tallahassee Community College to FSU program. Guess one could attend TCC and have access to some FSU facilities and events while preparing at TCC and transfer to FSU eventually upon completing AA. Seems like it would be a good option for anyone who had their heart dead set on attending FSU. I am going to attend University of South Florida.</p>
<p>P2N...Thanks, I want to be a teacher and USF has a great education college. I better get down there soon though before they change admission standards again! USF just raised standards for transfers--including AA transfers from Florida community colleges.</p>
<p>I've only heard of these programs, I don't have first-hand knowledge. They seem very generous - with the goal of increasing the number and quality of educators in Florida.</p>
