<p>My lowest grade is a B, I've never gotten anything below it. This is my fault but I actually started trying my junior year. I'm in one dual enrollment class (Anatomy&Physiology) and one AP class (AP Biology) this year. I wish I didn't listen to my guidance counselor when she told me not to challenge myself my junior year. My gpa is a 3.8 out of 4.0.
Do you guys think I have a chance? Maybe even a slim chance of getting in? It's my dream school. Do you think theres anything I can do to give myself a better chance?</p>
<p>Believe it or not, your chances aren’t bad. This has been made clear by FSU’s choice to defer your application. I think you know you are fairly qualified to be an FSU student. </p>
<p>So back to the question you should really be asking: What can you do to get in? </p>
<p>“Do you think theres anything I can do to give myself a better chance?”</p>
<p>You need to show them that you want to be an FSU student. Simply submitting an application doesn’t really show that you are that interested to the admissions department. </p>
<p>Things you can do: </p>
<p>1) schedule an interview
2) write a letter of interest
3) talk with some alums
4) many more. </p>
<p>Show that you are actively pursuing enrolment. Think of it this way; if you were avidly seeking employment for a job, would you just send them an application over the internet?</p>
<p>I honestly think that if you take into cosideration options 1-4, I think you will have a very good chance of being a freshman at FSU next fall. </p>
<p>If you have any mroe questions on how to go about completeing options 1-4, please feel free to email me > <a href="mailto:joey@chancemeplease.org">joey@chancemeplease.org</a></p>
<p>joeymack: thanks I really want to go to this school, but scheduling an interview is hard since I live in new jersey not florida, i donT know an alums but I can definitely write a letter of interest. Would they even read it thou?</p>
<p>Just give the office of admissions a call. Plane tickets from jersey to FL are very affordable with south west, something like $200 +/-. As far as alums, try your family or neighbors, FSU graduates thousands of students every year, so there might be a chance that any close friends or immediate family will know some FSU grads.
Yes, a letter of interest really does help. Really show your interest and explain to the admissions rep why you would be an asset to FSU</p>
