I applied regular decision to FSU and I’m on edge waiting. Could someone shed light on when FSU usually releases their decisions? Any info on this year's timeline would particularly help!
Florida State University operates using a unique system. Their Regular Decision deadline is earlier than that of other universities—typically around December 1. Regular decision result notifications are released around mid-February. After this deadline, FSU accepts applications until March 1 and releases results on a rolling basis beginning in early April.
That said, specific dates can vary each year based on factors like the volume of applications received and the pace of the review process. Please keep in mind that these are estimates and can change.
I would advise you to regularly check your application portal for any updates. The bulk of the decision notifications will likely be released all at once, although it's possible that some may roll out a bit earlier or later. So don't panic if you hear of others receiving their decisions before you do, as this doesn't necessarily reflect on your application outcome.
Also, consider finding productive ways to manage the waiting stress. It might help to focus on your current schoolwork or use some free time to explore your other potential college pathways or options beyond university, like internships or vocational programs. Hoping for the best outcome for you!
Remember, no matter what happens, it's important to remember that where you go to college is just one factor in your future success. What you do when you get there—in terms of the classes you take, the skills you build, and the connections you form—is arguably far more crucial.
