<p>thanks guys! you all have been so helpful!! i hope everybody enjoys their stay af FAMU oh yea i meant to ask what the best/worse housing choices in traditional and non traditional?</p>
<p>@mimi lol all. You guys should go on the facebook page its very helpful. The best dorms for females are Truth and Diamond for the traditional dorms… Nontraditional I believe is phase 3 but don’t quote me on that last one.</p>
<p>Phase 3 is where I’m gonna be at. My friends that were freshman last year @ famu told me to apply for Palmetto Phase 3.</p>
<p>I found out my housing two days ago by going online. They told me I won’t know until the end of june, but its better to go online if you sent the housing in long ago. I sent mine last day of march and my first choice was phase 3 and that’s what I got. :)</p>
<p>okay so im trying to register for orientation buut it keeps sayind invalid id/first name /last name but im typing it exactly as i see it on my acceptance letter idk what to do?</p>
<p>@mimi call, The ID should be your 9 digit student number, and I would think you would know how to spell your name lol.</p>
<p>Hello, i read all of you guys post i see that everybody got into FAMU congrats ! I really want to attend their Biological Science/Nursing Program im going to become a senior this year and im applying early as december, i got a 2.7 unweighted gpa and a 3.03 weighted gpa. My sat score i got a 1300 all three sections verbal 450 math 410 writing 440, i know thats bad im going to retake but im giving you an idea. I have taken several AP courses including USH, CALC, AND ENGLISH im taking LIT and BIO senior year. Can anybody tell me my chances, im freaking out i really want to go there.
Thanks !</p>
<p>As of yet, I still haven’t got any financial aid information. </p>
<p>@medskool: I’ve heard other people getting in with lower, or the same gpa as yours, and the fact that your taking AP courses probably will make you stand out. </p>
<p>I think you can get in because of your AP courses. And if you do better on your gpa and grades, I can guarantee your in. But overall I can’t say for sure, just keep trying to go above average.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice im really shooting for all a’s in my ap courses next year, so i will see what happens, and good luck with your finacial aid stuff !</p>
<p>@ava have you looked at your irattler account? My information is on there…</p>
<p>What does it mean when it says initiated on my iRattler account. I’ve sent in everything for my financial aid, but it says initiated on my to do list.</p>
<p>@cdames: I check regularly and it brings me to the FASFA website, where I enter my pin and I don’t get any info on my financial aid. (other than “your info has been processed”)</p>
<p>^^^ nevermind, I got the info. Sadly I haven’t gotten any awards from FAMU. But I got Bright Futures.</p>
<p>I just sent in my 350 money order for housing. 350.00 is alot to be sending through mail.
How long did it take you all to get a response from FAMU about housing after paying?</p>
<p>^^^Call and make sure they get it in a few days. The housing assignments will not be mailed out until the beginning of july, end of june, but they get posted online earlier. You can check online at rms.famu.edu google it. That’s how I found out but I sent mine over two months ago. Good luck.</p>
<p>i applied for orientation $100 i didnt think it would cost to go…when my sis went to famu she said she didnt remember paying…what exactly are we doing there? is it anything special? i called but no one could really tell me anything…</p>
<p>@mimi9210 you paid 100 dollars for orientation? or they are making you pay 100 dollars? when I signed up, I received nothing about a fee. Maybe it’s because I’m going for the summer term?</p>
<p>@diamond yeea it was a “student fee” that was required to hold a reservation at the orientation…it’s in the summer time for the fall students i think but i didnt recieve anything either about it its on their website and has a link to register for it…your going in the summer wow are you excited? what made you choose summer term instead of fall if you dont mind me asking?</p>
<p>@ava school scholarships haven’t been posted online but I have received some in the mail.</p>
<p>@diamond it took about a month for me but I sent it in early… You should receive something sooner.</p>
<p>@mimi they show you around campus you stay in one of the dorms and register for classes, Meet people ect. And everyone has to pay… I haven’t paid for mine yet… I need to get on that.</p>
<p>Did anyone get the passcode from the Help Desk? Would it happen to be the same for everyone, if so can anyone pass it along to me? </p>
<p>If not is there a consistent format for the actual password, like first letter of name and student ID: AXXXXXXX?</p>
<p>I’m just at a loss and cannot get through to the help desk.</p>
