<p>collegegirly, FSU have minimums which have to be met, and in this year of 30,000 applications… I doubt they are giving any slack. esp since they post the minimums. And if you call, they will gladly go over what you need to do to meet minimum requirements. If you are below their minimum requirements and did not retake the ACT or SAT, I am not certain your decision will change. See number 8 post above on the minimums.
When you are deferred, they send you a letter and provide you a link with the minimums required; I cannot find the FSU page on deferrals just now, but they do consider a minimum a minimum.</p>
<p>Edited to add: here is the link with the minimums. [fsu</a> admissions | requirements | u.s. freshman](<a href=“FSU Admissions | Error 404 page not found”>FSU Admissions | First-Year)</p>
