Who's applying to FAMU

<p>I guess I’ll just have to wait for them to “find” everything since there isn’t much I can do.</p>

<p>haha yeah good things come to those who wait.</p>

<p>@cdames92: Have you ever visited the FAMU campus??? I never did :frowning:
Can you tell me about it?
I heard it was kinda ghetto, and I’m hoping that that person is wrong.
PS: WOW, you turning down UF is crazy!!! There were a lot of people wanting to go to that university in my school, and they didn’t get in. You got BALLS lol…</p>

<p>“I heard it was kinda ghetto, and I’m hoping that that person is wrong.”
I have never visited the campus either.However,based on the videos I saw on youtube and other sites and based on what I’ve been told by FAMU graduates,I conclude that the person is right. It’s crazy there and people tend to abuse the “n” word. Even though I’m black I still hate when people use the “n” word,especially if it is aimed towards me.</p>

<p>I strolled through it one day wouldnt say visited the campus… It was okay I guess… The weather was beaming hot one second then started to pour rain the next second… I plan on going to the spring preview to get a better feel of the campus. </p>

<p>And I do think it is ghetto I think ALOT of their students aren’t their for the right reason they just want to hang out like it was still high school or something… But im sure there are plenty of students who are serious about their work as well. Its all about the company you keep… at any school you attend there will always be the ghetto/preppy/nerdy kids or whatever else you want to call them… But I go to an inner city school so Im kinda use to the “ghetto” environment…</p>

<p>And If UF gave me some money then I would go lol… Im going where ever the money is at.</p>

<p>I got ACCEPTED to FAMU school of Pharmacy!!!</p>

<p>Congrats,Ava.I’ve heard that getting into FAMU’s school of pharmacy is quite difficult.</p>

<p>Hi Im new to the forum I applied to FAMU in January, I’m late as well I wanted my GPA higher before I applied, and I wanted to know my chances of getting in, receiving financial aid and when should I hear back
1410 SAT score
570 Reading
380 Math (awful i kno)
460 Writing
I plan to take the ACT next month
3.1 weighted 2.9 unweighted GPA
I’m taking AP Lit and Psych this semester and plan to get 3’s on them :slight_smile:
And I did 3 years of Winterguard and have at least 75 hour of volunteer work they said they’ve received everything except test scores which i sent before they mailed the letter saying I was missing anything thank you very much and cdames92 I hope I see u there ur trials and tribulations have been helpful lol</p>

<p>^^^I think you will get in :slight_smile:
I’ve heard that there are people who got a bad gpa getting in. A friend of mine last year applied late May (that was her last resort), and she wasn’t the best in grades, yet she got into their Engineering program :slight_smile:
I hope that you the best of luck. You and Henry18. Because it would be great that ALL of us get accepted!</p>

<p>Thanks,Ava.</p>

<p>Lol thanks Ava
And I hope we all end up meeting at FAMU
and Henry can u tell me when u get ur letter? I’m sooooo anxious FAMU is my number 1</p>

<p>Alright,I’ll let you guys know when I get my letter.</p>

<p>Ok, Keeping my fingers crossed.</p>

<p>wish the best for you all</p>

<p>I applied in January and still haven’t received anything. First they lost my transcripts then they indicate they have yet to receive my test scores(which I sent during my junior year and early senior year).Even if I get in there’s a 95% chance I won’t attend FAMU. If they’re disorganized during the admissions process,imagine what it’s going to be like when I go there.</p>

<p>Hi, i have been accepted into FAMU, so what is my next step?</p>

<p>@Henry18: what major are you doing?
And did you apply to other schools?</p>

<p>@Ava:I’m doing chemical engineering. I applied and got into USF. I also got into some other colleges,but they’re not worth being mentioned because I’m not going to go to any of them.</p>

<p>^^^ Was famu your first choice???
Because if you got into usf, then you shouldn’t really worry, because you have a back-up plan.
I applied to uf and famu ONLY (I sent in fsu app too late, lol).
I didn’t get into uf, so I DEPENDED on famu
Or God forbid: it would be straight to Community College :frowning:
You are lucky you got into usf, so don’t stress about famu. If you get in good!!!
If you don’t, you still got USF :)</p>

<p>FAMU was my first choice,but after doing some research and asking former FAMU students,I began to lean more toward USF. I still haven’t made my choice whether I would attend FAMU or USF,but the odds are much higher for USF.</p>
