Congrats @ashleyrob ! This is the second person to be offered Spring- has anyone called and asked if they are even pulling off the waitlist for Fall? Is Spring something that everyone would be happy with?
Rollins is an awesome school, lots of personal attention, great professors. USF is also a great school. Try to fall in love with your #2- love the school that loves you back!
School choice is such an individual question that I donāt think there is an answer that everyone can agree on.
Where I start from is this ā if you got this far, you are going to be fine no matter where you end up.
After that, I think the factors involved are so individualized that I canāt come up with one specific piece of advice. I could say ālove #2ā but itās not that simple. I could say āfollow your dream,ā but itās not that simple.
About the only blanket piece of advice I can give is ādo what you think is best for YOU,ā and know that you will be fine no matter what the result is.
i am also wondering about @jeneric 's question: has anyone been offered fall admission off the waitlist? i keep hearing about spring but i applied for the fall term. i donāt think anyone knows this information but i was just curious!
@jeneric honestly I would be pretty happy with spring term. Going to community college for one semester is pretty good considering it is cheaper and fall semester will probably be online anyways. Also, I donāt think theyāre admitting people into the fall anymore because those spots are probably all taken. However, I do think there is still a possibility to get summer term. I heard of someone getting off of the waitlist a few weeks ago and getting into the summer access program. I donāt know if you guys have heard of it, but they offer this thing called the access program for applicants with higher GPA but lower SAT scores.
Finally my DD got off the waitlist today and was offered the summer term after requesting an expedited admission decision on April 15th. Iām so excited she got in and I actually thought she would be denied for requesting a decision so soon.
oh okay, is it possible to get offered the summer term when you originally applied for a different term (ex. fall term)?? i donāt know, i still have hope that there is space available for the fall term because not everyone has committed to a school yet so maybe thereās a chance of more spots becoming available?
@christineb It is possible to get summer term even if you applied for another, I know many people who got summer when they applied for fall. As for the fall term still being available, thereās still a possibility of course, but I just havenāt heard of anyone getting into fall from the waitlist.
oh okay! yeah, but even summer term sounds interesting so either way, whether itās summer or fall then i would be happy. someone in this forum got accepted off the waitlist when asking for an expedited decision so when you request for yours, make sure to let us know your results if comfortable
@christineb of course! Even if I get a rejection, I will tell you guys. As I mentioned earlier, I will be asking for the expedited decision on Monday, so it should come out in the next week. I see @TeamSmith asked for one on April 15th and got it a couple days after so I may even know as early as next Wednesday, which is kind of scary, but at this point I just want an answer.
I requested the cancellation of my application. I decided to commit to FAU. I might transfer sophomore year though. Good luck everyone! Dying in suspense with yāall will always be one of my fondest memories of quarantine.
aw, oh my goodness. yeah, sounds strange to say but i am glad to be in a forum with people that are dealing with the same situation as me lol but i agree! one of the fondest memories of mine too. i wish you luck with fau, it is also a good school! if you are thinking of transferring for sophomore year, i am sure you will get in! but safe and happy moments for you from now on!
@blakeboyb I respect your decision, waiting is so brutal and FAU is a good school. As you said, you could always transfer sophomore year. And yeah it is really nice to be on here with other people who are waitlisted too, it will also be one of my fondest memories.
