<p>Ok so this morning I found out I was waitlisted...The problem I have with that is this....I got accepted to FIU down in Miami.... The NON-REFUNDABLE admission deposit is due by May 1st($200) along with my housing deposit ($250)....FSU told me that they won't be telling me if I got in or not until after May 13th...I would much rather go to FSU then FIU but I can't afford to wait that long and risk losing my spot at FIU for an offer that might never come...Should I just pay for FIU and risk losing $450 or don't do it and wish for the best???? </p>
<p>Plus I wanted to know how many other people got waitlisted and what was their SAT/GPA??</p>
<p>I’d pay the deposits to FIU, then gladly forfeit that money should a spot open up.</p>
<p>I can guarantee one spot will open up as S was accepted first round, but will not be enrolling.</p>
<p>good luck.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, it doesn’t work like that. They know their yield rate is going to be in a range. For example if they accept 10,000 people, maybe 5,000 will come. So for every one that doesn’t enroll, they don’t accept another because they don’t have enough room for everyone they accept.</p>
<p>Yes it does help a lot. Right now what my plan to do is this. If every other school that I really want to get into (UCF and USF) tells me no, then I will pay the $200 dollar deposit at FIU. Since there is no real due date for FIU housing, more of a first come first serve basis, Im going to wait till after May 13th whenever till I hear from FSU. If I find out that I did in fact get into FSU then, Ill just have spent $200 more then needed. But if FSU doesnt manage to get space for me, the worst thing that can happen is that I dont get my preference at the FIU dorms. Do you think that sounds like a reasonable plan?</p>
<p>Maybe you can contact FIU letting them know of your dilemma, and they may extend the due date for your deposit. Not sure if it’s possible, but the worst they can say is no.</p>
