Am I standing a chance at FSU?

Hey everyone, FSU is one of my top choices. Anyone have details on what GPA they usually look for in prospective students?

While FSU doesn't have an official cut-off GPA, their admitted students typically fall within a certain range. As of the most recent data, the middle 50% of admitted students had a weighted GPA between 4.2 and 4.6, which means 25% had below a 4.2, 25% had above a 4.6, and the remaining 50% fell within this range.

On top of GPA, FSU admissions also consider your course rigor, particularly your AP, Honors, or IB classes, and leadership experience, as those can signal your ability to handle college-level work and contribute to the campus community. Further, if you are a resident of Florida, you might have a slight advantage given that FSU is a public state university and aims to serve the residents of its state.

Of course, it's crucial to note that the application is reviewed holistically, so having a GPA within this range doesn't guarantee admission, and similarly, having a GPA below this range doesn't mean you won't get in. Admissions officers will evaluate your entire academic and personal profile.
