FSU Early Action for Fall 2024 Admissions

I think we were expecting a lot more apps than there actually were. They all applied to UF instead lol.

323

These stats just support what my daughter heard from her guidance counselor (we are OOS). RD admit rate OOS will be impossibly low and only available to the highest stat students.

324

I disagree. It appears the increase in applicants was completely from FL residents. I expect OOS to basically be the same as last year.

325

Is the studentā€™s FSU weighted gpa visible anywhere? Iā€™m not sure what my daughterā€™s is or where she could find that.

326

No, but itā€™s pretty easy to calculateā€¦

327

The stats donā€™t support your argument in the slightest.

328

I think the admit rate for early and regular looks to be just above 30 percent. Comparing the stats from early action and combined early and regular, it appears that the in state early applicant kids have the higher stats.

329

Iā€™m pulling for you for both! Good luck in 5 hours!

Thanks. I hope it goes well for you too. If I donā€™t get in today, iā€™m screwed for UF my dream school. AHHHH

331

Niche has a 37% acceptance rate and much lower enrolled test scores, but this seems calculated at sub 22%?

Seems crazy.

332

Same- if d24 gets rejected here, I think UGA and UF are pretty much out of the question.

Did your daughter get deferred at UGA? or just did RD

334

Yes, but it was kind of expected.

She is 4.0 unweighted so that part is easy and I know the AP is 5.0 and dual enrollment I think is 4.5, but Iā€™m not sure which classes they include and whether it is then just a straight average of those (using the higher scale for AP and dual enrollment).

336

Itā€™s .5 bump for honors as well.

337

Dual Enrollment is a full bump to 5.0.

338

I think we should add the early applicants (around 22k) and the regular applicants (around 31k), then divide by the acceptances from that group of applications. Doing that, you get around 32 percent acceptance rate. Iā€™m not sure what the 76k total applications includes.

339

I believe they only use core classes to calculate GPA - math, English, science, social science, foreign language.

High level classes in other subjects would most likely contribute to how they determine rigor - meaning it is still worthwhile to take AP Comp Sci over a fun but less academic elective.

340

Would they possibly be double dipping? Counting non admitted EA applicants both as an app for EA and RD?

341

That is a possibility. There is also the possibility that EA people who were defered are getting accepted this time which makes the OOS acceptance rate even higher.
