Hi!
So FSU is my top choice but there is one problem, I can’t reach their minimum math ACT requirement of 21. I have met all their other ACT requirements and have a 26 total and a 4.0 GPA. I’ve applied for their summer term. I have taken the ACT four times already. My highest score in math is a 19 for those wondering. I plan to take the ACT a fifth time to raise my math score regardless, but I was wondering whether I will be deferred from FSU because I haven’t reached the minimum, or just rejected.
UCF had deferred me a few months ago because I was getting below their math minimum -19- but now that I have achieved it, I look forward to hearing from them. My main question here is will FSU defer me and ask for higher scores like UCF, or just reject me.

Thanks so much!

Call admissions and ask them about the minimum as well as the last ACT date they will accept scores from. They superscore so you really just need to focus on Math if you do take the ACT again. Also, maybe you can meet the minimum with the SAT. Good luck.

Yes I emailed admissions. For this round of admissions the last ACT date they accepted was the December one. However, on the website it says February is also considered. I imagine this is for possibly deferred students? I’m not sure. Decisions are on January 25th and I’m just assuming I’ll either be rejected or deferred.
