Haha true, I'm probably not going to get objective information. I'm hoping sown students will be candid

It was the faculty and students promoting the program with no reservations and a lot of pride. I was impressed with the faculty and alums I met, the facilities are great, friendliness was the norm. I could definitely see myself going there, you just have to be committed to working in Florida.

HOW can I still not be in review?!?!?!?! This is getting insane... I know I'm still within the 3-month window, but just barely (applied Jan 9th).

I'm taking this information at face value, but I just got off the phone with the admissions office (trying to rush my application since I have a time-sensitive scholarship at another school) and they told me I would have a decision within 2 weeks.

It was quite enjoyable. The faculty, based on the small sample I saw, seem to be very energetic about what they do. I liked the campus and, having gone to FSU for undergrad, I like the area as well.

I went to the first ASD, and I was impressed by the down-to-earth nature of the faculty and staff; everyone was extremely friendly and I think it was obvious to everyone that the warm, welcoming attitude wasn't just an act put on for ASD. The new facilities are also very nice. The students I met were awesome, and I also got hammered drunk with undergrad friends at the strip (trips to Tally are always fun).


I was really hoping FSU would try to beat my offer from UF, but it doesn't like they are going to offer me anything. Shame.

I think I remember you. I might end up at UF as well, depends on UGA. I also had an awesome time at FSU's first ASD, and could definitely see myself going there, but I don't that this that would fly with my mother (parents are helping pay) who is a huge UF fan haha.

I agree with the comments above, I was really impressed with all of the facilities during ASD especially the old courthouse. From my experience at ASD I believe that FSU has closed the gap with UF and both will provide a quality education, UF's edge might be a larger Alumni base. Anyone looking to go into the public sector I believe FSU being located in Tallahassee could work to your advantage. With that being said, I like the two posters above will most likely end up in Gainesville as UF has offered me much more in the way of aid than FSU. Either way GO NOLES!!!

I emailed Jennifer about being reconsidered for scholarships over a week ago (I have offers from other regional schools making it cheaper than FSU at in-state sticker) and have received nothing back.

Cool :?

I received a grant but opportunity cost for me doesn't make it equal W&L. Extremely hard to withdraw though, but I know people are waiting for spots ... will get around to that soon I think. Everyone was so nice, though! And I loved everything, but ultimately I wanted to end up in VA anyways.

Got a call from Ms. Kessinger, was awarded a $32k scholarship. FSU is back in the game.

If we did not receive notification of a scholarship today, is it safe to assume that none is forthcoming?

I never received any communication soliciting my application for a merit scholarship but didn't expect anything anyway. I did receive and submit an application for need-based scholarship aid. Does everyone get this application?

I've been complete since 1/5. So can I expect a decision within the next 3 days then?

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
