Who's applying to FAMU

<p>I got accepted for Fall 2012, has anyone else been accepted, and do you know when we’ll get Financial Aid info?</p>

<p>@fayth93 I was accepted for summer 2012… As far as the Financial Aid Info, I’m not sure when we get feedback on that. I think the most you can do is FAFSA and then wait for FAMU to review it and what not.</p>

<p>oh okay thanks @rmdozier</p>

<p>@rmdozier What is your gpa?</p>

<p>I’m nervous about getting accepted into FAMU because my gpa isn’t a 2.5, but it will be by the end of the school year. Any advice?</p>

<p>Hiiii everyone … Im a little new on here …</p>

<p>But i just sent in my app last week thrs. or fri. Called in today and they said they had it and i should be getting a letter to acknowledge they’ve received it. Im just nervous … and excited! Im praying i get in, FAMU is my FIRST CHOICE. GO RATTLERS!!!</p>

<p>The lady said they were doing spring now … I hope this process doesn’t take a long time because i’m so ready to graduate and go to college !!</p>

<p>hope u get into…im hoping to hear something about an acceptance or denial by january or feb…1st choice also</p>

<p>Hii everyone im new.!</p>

<p>i applied for the fall 2012 term at the beginning of December and I was wondering when i would be getting a letter of acceptance or denial.</p>

<p>Im kind of nervous because my test scores didnt exactly meet their minimum requirements</p>

<p>my act composite score is a 20. 20 in english 18 in math 22 in reading && a 21 in combined english/writing</p>

<p>3.11 gpa 105.25 volunteer hours </p>

<p>famu is my first pick &&everyone says that im going to get in but im not certain. Any feedback.?? :))</p>

<p>I think you will be ok because it looks like your scores do meet the requirements. You are only 1 point short in math is all.</p>

<p>College Preparatory Program</p>

<p>Beginning in 1985, the State of Florida instituted the College Preparatory or Pre-Collegiate Program. Students who score below a certain level on specified sub-tests of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American Collegiate Test (ACT) are placed in the College Preparatory Program. Upon entering the university, these students are given placement tests to determine their need to be in the College Preparatory Program. Students who score below the following placement tests remain in the program.</p>

<pre><code>Standard Score
</code></pre>

<p>SAT-I, The College Board<br>
Verbal 440
Mathematics 440</p>

<p>Enhanced ACT, American Testing Program Standard Score
Reading 18
English 17
Mathematics 19</p>

<p>Based on the scores above, students will receive college preparatory instruction in the areas of English, mathematics, and/or reading. The college preparatory courses, although required for identified students, do not carry college credit, and student performance is evaluated on an S/U basis. Students have three semesters to complete successfully any required college preparatory course.</p>

<p>@bossladisolomon we’re in the same boat when it comes down to the act scores…BUT you need to meet the miniumum requirements…as in you need to meet the requirement for the math…because they told me i need to meet the requirement for the math eventhough my composites a 20</p>

<p>I got accepteddd.!!! :ddddd</p>

<p>You have 2 keep callinq && checkinq 2 see if they have your stuff and im surprised it didnt take them lonq to the whole admitted process. I have friends that applied in september that’s still waitinq to hear back from them but you really have to call and ask.! Onlyy way you’ll find out. Now im waitinq for the letter :)</p>

<p>wow thats weird i applied since june n i was told i have to get my math score up…i had a 17 n everything else i was over da required score…n i still didnt get my acceptance…n i call ALLL THE TIME they have everything…</p>

<p>u might got in because of ur gpa if its a 3.0 when FAMU RECALCULATES it then u automatically get accepted regardless of test scores</p>

<p>Yeaa dats prolly wat it was. I would think if my gpa wasn’t the way it is they would at least cut me some slack on the math part because I was one point away from a 19. Idkk… Im suppose 2 be getting a email within 24-48 hours so im just waiting on dat.</p>

<p>If FAMU is your first choice then the very next step is housing. My oldest was accepted a few weeks ago and we sent in the housing application with the $350 deposit already. The woman in the housing office said that any prospective student who sent in there application and deposit before January would get there first choice guaranteed.</p>

<p>But, you need your student ID number and that is in the letter they are sending you. But, what we did was get it right off of the iRattler account, under Campus Personal Information/Demographic Information…</p>

<p>They set her up an iRattler account before she was actually accepted so if you are accepted and don’t have one you defiantly need to call them back and they will set it up for you.</p>

<p>How long did it take for them to tell you that you were accepted and how do you know what ur GPA is according to their recalculation ???</p>

<p>@essencekamille…dey recalculated base on core courses (math,reading,english,science,social studies)…and if u have honor course its 0.5 added to it n if its DE/AP its 1.00 added to it…</p>

<p>@tusk91</p>

<p>Yeaa.! I think they are sending it in the email which i am still waiting for and they said i wont get my letter until 7-10 days after i received my email soo i gotaa wait. Im so impatient.!! But yes if i dont get my email 2night or 2morro im calling them back</p>

<p>@Essencekamille</p>

<p>it took them about a week. but before all of that, i sent my application november 12th but to the wrong address so i had sent another one friday december 3rd priority mail. They got it monday december 5th. I messed around and sent the wronq fee waiver so i had sent that off the next day && they qot it either thursday or friday. I called them tuesday december 13th and they told me i qot admitted :)</p>
