Correct, cybermom…FSU wants the student to take the more challenging courses.

Good grades aren’t good enough; they want you to take a solid college preparatory set of courses. They would prefer you take AP Calculus AB + BC and get a ‘C’ as opposed to basic math with an ‘A’, for example.

There appears to be a sliding relationship between the SAT/ACT and grades as well. Higher grades in quality courses allow a slightly lower test score. I would not press this to find the limits, though…they received some 30,000+ applications and accepted about 6,000 last year. They told me they rejected many kids in the Top 20% of their hs class.

They also warned those of us who are Florida State alumni that merely being tied to FSU was not sufficient to get your child admitted if the other areas fall short.

The most recent freshman statistics are not yet available.
