<p>It is impossible to tell from afar. The best thing to do is to discuss this with admissions and faculty.</p>
<p>The FSU administration has said they will not allow quality to be affected by budget restrictions. The numbers of students may be reduced, but they will work to keep the quality high. One impact from budget cutbacks has already been a large increase in the quality of freshman admissions. The numbers of freshmen overall were reduced and consequently the quality in FTIC statistics for example, due to competition for open slots, greatly increased. Combine this with more in-state retention of good students due to fewer wanting to go out of state because of the expense and you have a synergistic effect.</p>
