Hey everyone! I'm considering applying to FSU's engineering program, but I'm not sure how competitive it is. Can anyone give me an idea of the acceptance rate for their engineering school? Thanks!
Hey! While specific acceptance rates for a specific department or program usually aren't released publicly, FSU overall has an acceptance rate of around 37%. Gaining admission to engineering programs is usually more competitive than to the university as whole, so FSU engineering may have an acceptance rate somewhere around 30%. This is just an estimate, though.
To increase your chances of admission, focus on maintaining a strong GPA, taking rigorous coursework such as AP or honors classes in STEM subjects, participating in extracurricular activities relevant to engineering, and doing well on the SAT or ACT, as FSU is one of the colleges that has gone back to requiring standardized test scores. It's also important to write a compelling application essay and obtain strong letters of recommendation, to create the strongest overall profile you can.
Good luck with your application, and I hope this information helps!
