<p>@kchantelle24: I think you have a chance to get in. Just try and get your gpa higher, and take the ACT again.</p>
<p>@ava999 if I get my gpa up to at least 3.0 or higher should I still take the ACT again. My fear is if I take it again I will get a lower score. SN: my weighed is high last I checked its was a 3.3 but that doesnt included the last semester and I know that will raise with the 2 AP classes im taking senior year.My questions is should I take the ACT again even though my GPA will be high, my fear is if i take it again my score will be lower.</p>
<p>Hi I’m about to be a senior in high school. I’m searching for colleges to attend and FAMU is on my list. I have a 3.5 weighted which will probably go up during my senior year. I took the ACT and didn’t do so well I got antsy during the last part of the test and couldn’t focus so I’ll be taking it again.(ACT-22). My chances of getting in? Also a problem I’m having is I want to major in Pre-law but they only have it as a minor well it would be political science with concentration in pre-law. Any advise? If I don’t major in that I was considering the MBA program?? Also a lot of my friends are trying to talk me out of attending a historically black school, saying my degree wouldn’t be as respected as a regular school, also that there would be a fair share of black students in a regular school. My reason for wanting to attend a HBCU was I’ve always been in schools where black are a minority, like the one I’m in now where we have 2,000 kids and 1% max are black. I just figured I’d change it up a bit, try something new. Any advise??</p>
<p>@pooda FAMU has an open admission policy. Apply and I definitely think you’ll get it. To be honest I was nervous about going to an all black school but once you get there you see that its so much more than that. Dont expect to just go to a ’ ghetto’ school with stereotypical “black” students. These are people going to school to better themselves and get a higher education. It will be an experience. Good luck and have fun your senior year!!!</p>
<p>BTW did any pre-pharm student get that letter about the phamd/mba program, whos going for it?</p>
<p>@momo Thank you, thats what thought (that people are going the to better themselves) but friends tried to tell me otherwise, and senior year can’t wait!!!Do you think I should apply early or just wait?</p>
<p>@ pooda I’m one of those people who applies early to everything so I say apply early. None of my friends are going anywhere NEAR tallahassee do what’s best for you!!</p>
<p>@momo im going for the PharmD/MBA and i got accepted into the program.</p>
<p>@kchantelle24: I think you should still take the ACT test. In my ACT test I had a 21, and then I took it again and got a 19 
But I still got into Famu because colleges only take your highest score. </p>
<p>I don’t even want to get into my SAT scores lol, because I would have a great score, but when i took it again it would be lower, and yet it never hurt my chances, because I still got into a good school…
I do encourage you to try and get your grades up, and don’t give up on testing keep studying for the ACT/SAT even tho it gets annoying)</p>
<p>Oh and I too, got the PharmD/MBA letter (did EVERYONE get that letter because FAMU made me feel all extra special to be “selected” for this program). As far as the interview process I think I did good if I got accepted…now I gotta change my class schedules.</p>
<p>To all Seniors,
Good Luck! And if you need any advice pm me, or you can always post it on here.
I was in the same situation as you guys (you can see my frustrations in my first posts on here)… ;)</p>
<p>@cdames thats awesome! I did the interview but I still don’t know.</p>
<p>Hello everyone, im so nervous if i ll get accepted to famu pharmD program. I applied to the pharmD program for fall 2010, but due to my mistake of handwritten my application, and them not getting my transcript i didt get in this year. Im a college grad. with an AA degree and my GPA is 3.23(still taking microbio and sta), and i hv couple of community services, am shadowing a pharmacist and i recently became a pharm tech. I really want to go to famu not any other school. Please do u guys think i have a chance of getting accepted next year? Please advice me on what to do. Thank you all…:(</p>
<p>^^ i would say you’re in. (:</p>
<p>i just mailed my application friday. will be calling tuesday to check if thy have my application.</p>
<p>hey i recently applied to Famu & I have one ? for those of you who go there now. What are the best dorms. Give me your top 3 please. I can not see any pictures of the dorms & I do not know what to put down for my choices.</p>
<p>You’re doing the housing application already?</p>
<p>No my parents & i were just trying to figure out which dorms are nice. We have not seen any pictures of them yet so were just curious.</p>
<p>Oh. I see. I don’t know much about the dorms either but I know Paddyfoot is really small but it has the most sense of “community.” I also know in general, the dorms suckkkk.
I hear the best dorms for females are Truth, Diamond, and Phase 3 (nontraditional).</p>
<p>Thanks! Yeah my dad told me that the dorm SUCK! I guess I will have to deal with it lol. I wish I could see a vitural tour or aleast pictures.</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree. Esp. since how I don’t think I’ll be able to make it up there and tour. Did you dad go to FAMU?</p>
<p>Yeah, where are you from? No my dad didn’t go to Famu he just lived by in Tally. I will probably take a tour hopefully at the end of this month. Soon as I get this letter UGH:/</p>
