Summer Term?

Colleges & Universities Florida State University

<p>I live in PA. Schools on the east coast usually end towards the end of June. The C term would literally start like 2 or 3 days after graduation/prom for me. Getting myself down to Tallahasse from Philadelphia in 2 days and getting everything situated is going to be hard. It’s doable, it’s not a big deal because obviously admission is the biggest priority for me. I can’t stress over trivial conditions like that if I seriously want to go.</p>

<p>What I want to know is: if there is anything the admission officers can do to bump me into fall. I have some really important family obligations over the summer overseas, and also a surgery that I was supposed to undergo right after school in the summer; recovery would be at least 2 weeks cutting into July. Are there any other terms besides term C, or is that the last one? </p>

<p>Some options that they might consider:

  1. go to community college in Philadelphia, (where I am now) and attend a summer semester and send them my academic progress and ask them to use that to bump me into fall.
  2. send improved test scores and higher GPA. My GPA already went up from 3.6 to 3.7, and a rigor of 4 AP classes my senior year would show. Also, my new SAT scores come out in less than 9 days, and I’m sure they went up at least by a good 50 points. Would this reconsider me for fall?</p>

<p>Are any of these options viable?
FSU is my top choice and there’s a reason I only applied to schools in FL even though I’m from PA. Admission is definitely my priority but this condition of attending summer is really going to make things tough.</p>
