Florida Southern Admissions Process?

Hi all, I've been looking at Florida Southern College and I'm wondering what the admissions process is like. Can someone share their experience or give information on the steps involved? Thanks in advance!

Sure, I'd be happy to provide you with an overview of the admissions process at Florida Southern College.

1. Application Form: First, you need to decide which application platform to use. Florida Southern accepts applications via their own online application, the Common Application, or the Coalition Application. Choose one of these platforms and complete the forms with necessary personal, educational, and extracurricular information.

2. Essay: Florida Southern College requires a personal statement as part of the application. You'll be asked to write an essay on one of the prompts provided by the application platform you choose. This essay should showcase your personality, interests, and experiences, and what you can bring to this institution.

3. Application Fee or Fee Waiver: There's a $30 application fee for Florida Southern, but fee waivers are available for eligible students. You can request a fee waiver through the application platform you choose if you meet the eligibility criteria.

4. High School Transcript: Request an official high school transcript from your school counselor and have them sent to Florida Southern, either electronically or by mail. Make sure to include information on your coursework, grades, and class rank if available.

5. Standardized Test Scores: Florida Southern is test-optional for the Fall 2023 application cycle, meaning you can choose whether or not to submit your SAT or ACT scores. If you believe your test scores reflect your academic abilities, you can choose to include them; otherwise, you can apply without them.

6. Letters of Recommendation: Although letters of recommendation are not required, you are welcome to submit one or two. The recommender (typically a teacher or counselor) should be someone who can speak to your academic or personal qualities in a meaningful way.

Once you've submitted your application and supplementary materials, your application will be reviewed by the admissions committee. Florida Southern College has rolling admissions, which means they evaluate applications as they're received and notify applicants of their decisions on a rolling basis. You can typically expect a decision within 2-4 weeks after submitting your application.

I hope this helps you get a better understanding of the steps involved in applying to Florida Southern College. Good luck with your application!
