<p>Can I apply for housing and financial aid without committing to FSU?
Yes, you can submit applications for on-campus housing and/or need-based financial aid before formally committing to FSU. </p>

<p>As far as #120, that is a pretty low number so you should be able to get into one of your four top choice dorms from the application, I would think. But, Bryan is the home of a special learning community so you will need to apply to that program. The applicant must write two essays that focus on curiosity and the desire to learn and a committee makes the selection.</p>

<p>priority # in 170's, applied to gilchrist, think ill get it? and how/when do you know if you got the one you want?</p>

23

<p>You have a good chance. They don't tell you until you receive a letter in June.</p>

24

<p>With a 170 I'd agree your chances are excellent.</p>

25

<p>Hey...I applied ED..how will that effect my decisions, as I still need to show my ACT score I just took Oct 28th???</p>

26

<p>I don't recall FSU starting ED...do you mean another school?</p>

27

<p>?where is the priority number? do you have to call them for it?</p>

28

<p>get the priority number from Housing. <a href="http://www.housing.fsu.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.housing.fsu.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>thanks! I go ta 487..lol..
so i guesse I'll be living in a cardboard-box..lol..do you know the highest amount of places for housing, b/c I CANNOT, live off-campus, it'll destroy my dream of attending college/college life.</p>

<p>Not-so-hot numbers are those in the thousands...e.g. 3000+.</p>

<p>Your chances of getting the dorm you want - even if you're accepted to Honors - diminish greatly with high numbers. </p>

<p>Lower is better. :)</p>

31

<p>ooooooo.my word. people get #'s in the thousands, gee I feel spoiled.
i didnt how lucky iwas til now
thanks!</p>

<p>My priority number this past year was something like 3900. I graduated high school a year early, but didn't decide to do this in time to meet the earlier deadlines for applying to FSU. Since I'm only turning 18 in March, I'm probably going to want to live on-campus again next year in one of the apartment-style dorms. Since apparently I'm stuck with this priority number, does that mean my chances of getting into one of these dorms is low?</p>

<p>How do they rank upperclassmen from different years as far as priority?</p>

33

<p>I don't know for sure, but I'd say yours chances are about the same, but will improve with time. Your priority number 'peer' group remains the class you competed with the first time. As this class grows smaller with time - due to people leaving campus dorms for one reason or another - your status improves.</p>

<p>You would 'out rank' an underclassman I suspect, so they are not an issue. Your chances of a dorm are probably decent - assuming this analysis is correct. ;)</p>

34

<p>I am surprised at the dearth of students worried but the abundance of parents taking on the tasks that their offspring should assume. I worry what will happen when Mom and Dad are not holding their hands in class.</p>

35

<p>They'll either sink or swim. ;)</p>
