Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
FSU next wave?

13:09
Is this normal? Maybe there is a wave close to the end of the priority deadline?
13:36
Is there an admitted students discord or GC?
admissions said late april majority decisions
disgusting^
bruh i applied in early december
i agree it's kind of a bad look for them to wait so long...
yeah it’s actually really fucked up, and an admissions rep let me know that if accepted, depending on how late in the process it can be TWO DAYS to pay your deposit
gosh that legit makes me so upset... its even worse that admissions can't even provide even a rough timeline
u would like they would be more considerate but it seems like they're proud of how late they give acceptances bc they're so competitive
It looks like there were some R’s and WL recently
as a gator grad they must be trying to compete with UF smgh
Fluffycaterpillar
9:55
at least UF is responding in a timely manner lol
What's up with the wl timeline lol, first week of the term?
yeah crazy, how do we get housing that late
its just so frustrating...im looking at other ppl waitlisted n like we def shouldve had a great chance at getting in???
this cycle has been so disappointing. these schools r doing too much
Yeah last year you probably would have been fine :/
Huge WL yesterday. I will assume rejections are next
gnawing at the bars of my enclosure hoping fsu will give me some mercy and finally release a decision today
Has anyone received any financial aid offers yet?
I thought financial aid offers were conveyed with your acceptance
It might have changed after I got in though
For those who have heard back, when did you apply? I applied mid March and it still on UR1
when did you go UR?
their admissions has changed a lot in the past year or two, but when I applied, everyone went to waitlist by the end of April.
