u must have both required gpa n act/sat in order to get into fall term
i got my decision dec. 7th</p>
<p>Sometimes FIU is slow with things. The people working there sometimes take awhile to get things straight. You should call them and ask about your situation.</p>
<p>I also got into the Summer Term. SUPER EXCITED THOUGH!</p>
<p>For my GPA I have a 3.4 and an SAT of 1750/2400. I go to an extremely competitive school in Germany, but I was in the top 25%. I am going to take the SAT for a 3rd time just to see if I can boost it up, and will also be taking the ACT for the first time…Honestly, I just suck at test taking lol</p>
<p>frcopeland are you for sure going to FIU? i was thinken about it but i want to enjoy my summer with my friends so i dnt think ill be going to FIU</p>
<p>me too! are u from Miami?</p>
<p>I got deferred from FIU this week, they want me to retake my ACT math, but the next exam isn’t till April and scores wont come out till May and in May i have to decide about schools because of the deadline… what should I do?</p>
<p>mcallejas,</p>
<p>You live in Miami? If you do, I suggest for you to just go to miami dade college, get your AA, and try to transfer to a prestigious university.
FIU won’t give you the college experience if you plan to commute, and as a result, it is wiser to go to a community college, boost up your gpa, and then have the opportunity to end up in a school like UF or FSU.</p>
<p>It’s just a suggestion; but take into account that going to miami dade gives you the opportunity to transfer later on, while FIU does not.</p>
<p>Also realize that by commuting to FIU (I’m assuming you live in Miami) your social life will remain the same as it was in high school. So by going to MDC you won’t be missing out on anything since your social life will most likely also consist of the same friends you had in high school.</p>
<p>By the way, I have been at both FIU and MDC, so I’m not just giving bs advice.</p>
<p>eddy? what do you mean FIU does not give you the opportunity to transfer later on?</p>
<p>Actually, you can transfer out from ANY university you go to. The thing is that state universities are more willing to take in community colleges applicants since these students NEED to transfer in order to finish their degrees. Not to mention that FIU does not have the rampant grade inflation found in most florida community colleges, which does not really help one in the transferring process.
But yeah, I might have overstated myself. YOU CAN transfer out of FIU. It’s just way harder.</p>
<p>Omar10, I am most definately going to FIU! I believe people underrate how nice FIU is compared to many other schools in florida. Not only is it in an exciting city, but the education is deemed more than respectable and the campus is beautiful. My summer before senior year, I took an entire month off to visit colleges in both Florida and Virginia (my family is originally from DC.). I have seen FAU, UCF, UF, FSU, Bethune-cookman, USF, UVA, George Mason, William and Mary, and VTech. Not only was FIU the prettiest campus out of all of them, but the dorms were the best, the education incredible, and the facilities past mind blowing. In addition, the thought of living in the middle of nowhere (UVA,Will and Mary, Virginia Tech, UF, UCF, and USF are all basically in the middle of nowhere…) is incredibly boring.</p>
<p>Lets be honest: too many seniors these days apply to schools that they deem are prestigious or are more known to their peers. Their are sooo many schools out there that are not only just as good, but are seen by many as better and more active. UF, for example, has a great name behind it (because of football and its rediculously high endowment), but not only have I seen the campus…which is not great I may add, but so many of my friends go there who tell me they are bored out of their mind! UF, which is located in Gainsville, is filled with horses and miles of grass…Does that sound better than the beach and diverse culture of Miami? Honestly, it is my undergrad and I’m going to have a good time in an amazing city, with a great education, and amazing low cost. </p>
<p>Go panthers 
ps- I chose FIU over UF and William and Mary. THAT’S how nice FIU is!</p>
<p>I have really good stats, so I doubt I didn’t get into FIU because that isn’t so hard, but what if I haven’t heard of them at all???</p>
