A day late and a dollar short?

While I completely disagree with how that poster went about saying it, they did point out some of the issues with your academic profile.

People have reported since the first round of admissions that they were deferred or outright rejected from FSU for having one D on their transcripts, yet had otherwise stellar profiles.
Add onto that that your SAT and ACT are a bit low, and that you are applying for the second decision deadline (which is notorious for being much more difficult to get accepted) and I think it’s going to be tough to get accepted.

That said, FSU values academic rigor a lot, and you have that working for you. As for the D you received last semester, yes, you should absolutely contact FSU about it.

The bottom line though is that you really are applying for the tougher decision date, and while you have academic rigor in your favor, that’s not necessarily going to get you in. Others with better profiles have gotten denied simply for getting a D in a class.
