<p>parent2noles. are oos applicants viewed differently then in state? I have asked this question of the admissions staff and they all have said that all applicants are viewed the same. doesn’t matter if you are oos. what am i missing? is there some law that fsu admissions didn’t tell me that restricts the number of oos students that can be accepted? If so, is fsu at that level?</p>
<p>It’s my understanding that out-of-state (non-resident) applicants are held to a higher standard than in-state resident applicants. While under ordinary circumstances a 28 would be a solid “admit”, in the current climate of uncertainty I’d try for the higher score to be sure. Honestly, I don’t know where the lines are and they don’t publish that info to my knowledge.</p>
<p>This is from the Admissions webpage:
*"Admission to Florida State University requires graduation from a regionally accredited high school with certain high school academic units, a cumulative grade point average in those academic units, and test scores as outlined below. Satisfying these minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.</p>
<p>Florida students applying to the University should present at least a “B+” average in all academic subjects (additional weight is assigned to Honors, Dual Enrollment, AICE, AP, and IB coursework) and test scores of at least 24 (composite) on the ACT or 1100 (critical reading plus math) on the SAT. The profile for non-Florida applicants is higher.</p>
<p>A variety of other factors are also considered in the review process. These include the written essays, the pattern and quality of courses and curriculum, grade trends, class rank, and educational objectives. Applicants who bring other important attributes to the University community may also receive additional consideration. These applicants include students applying to CARE, visual and performing artists and skilled athletes. "*</p>
<p>What gives me pause is this info - copied from the July 26, 2007 minutes of the faculty Council of Deans at FSU:</p>
<p>“2. Admissions: Dr. Abele reported that due to funding issues, the Board of Governors has mandated that public universities cannot exceed enrollment figures approved by the Legislature. The Admissions Office will therefore be sending letters to all undergraduate applicants that they will not be accepted as new students for Spring 2008. The only exceptions will be AA transfers from Florida public community colleges who meet University admission and mapping requirements. This decision will impact not only prospective students but also the ± 900 state employees who want to attend classes on a space-available basis and the ±1,300 undergraduate students that we are not receiving funding for. The state has said there will be no new students, so if we are going to freeze enrollments we must do it for everyone.<br>
The Admissions Office has been collecting applications from other students. Letters are being sent to these ±880 students, indicating that they can be considered for summer or fall of 2008. A banner is also being put on the application page outlining the types of students who can apply.
During a discussion about Special Students, Mr. Barnhill commented that Special Students usually enroll on a space-available basis, and there is another group of people who just want to take courses. These two groups usually sit in on the first class, see vacant chairs in the class and ask the professor if they can take his/her class, and then they register for the course at the end of Drop/Add. Deans were asked to relay the message to their faculty that the University is full – and no additional students can attend classes, even if it appears there is space available in a class. State employees usually take classes on a space-available basis also, so the enrollment freeze will apply to state employees as well.
In response to questions about new graduate students needing to take undergraduate courses to meet the requirements of their graduate degree, Mr. Barnhill said the restrictions applied only to undergraduate students. His staff will work with graduate students and will do everything possible to see that they get the courses they need. It will be helpful if the students have a written plan outlining the courses that are required for them to become graduate students, and the students should take these written plans to the Admissions Office to avoid difficulty when they try to register for courses.<br>
Mr. Barnhill reiterated that basically the enrollment freeze is an undergraduate initiative. Those programs that are paid for by auxiliary budgets will not be impacted. In closing comments, Mr. Barnhill said it might possibly be necessary to shrink enrollments for Fall 2008. If deans know of anyone who plans to apply for Summer 2008 or Fall 2008, please encourage them to apply early. He also noted that he general public may not understand enrollment freezing. If outsiders ask about the freeze, please let them know that we will still be accepting students for next summer and fall. Mr. Barnhill’s staff will be able to react quickly to whatever the state mandates – whether it is further admission reductions, or if we are allowed to increase the number of admissions.
Dr. Abele indicated the Board of Governors adopted the policy of no spring 2008 enrollments except AA transfers and freezing enrollments for the next three years when the 5% tuition increase was initially vetoed. The letter that is being mailed to prospective students about the enrollment freeze will indicate that the actions are being taken because of a Board of Governors directive.”</p>
