am i cooked

i am an incoming freshman for the class of 2028 and will begin in summer 2024. my highschool had us fill out final transcript request forms so they could send them electronically to our schools, but I missed the deadline for this form as nobody mentioned it. They only sent out an email that but I never saw it.

I did submit the form about 5 days after the posted deadline and emailed my counselor but she hasn’t responded..

i’m kinda scared that this means FAU won’t receive my transcript and I can’t enroll but idk. Will I be able to send it myself or have to mail it or am I just.. cooked?

Unpublished Courses

Why are some courses not published on time? For instance, two of my summer classes have yet to be published even though the semester began on 05/11.

Does the pre-professional office professional headshot matter?

I have a professional headshot but am not a fan of it, but if the headshot doesn’t matter that much (I.e. doesn’t get sent on with my med app) than I’d rather submit my old one for convenience.

For those like me who like to have music on the background while studying

Here is a regularly updated playlist dedicated to new independent French producers. Several electronic genres covered, but mostly chill. A good backdrop for concentration and relaxation. Perfect for my late-night study sessions.

Mac book or PC

We were looking to get our daughter a computer for her high school graduation, so she has it when she starts FAU in the fall, and we’re just wondering if any current FAU students have a preference or if professors have a preference? Thanks

Financial Aid

Just got an email stating I’m at risk of losing my financial aid for failing to complete 67% of the credits I attempted and not meeting “Pace” standards? I took 3 classes this semester and passed all 3 so I don’t even know what this means

Lowkey dunno which colleges to highly consider

I’m gonna be a senior and I’m quite worried about college. Ik not to make conclusions early on but I’ve got a top three:

  • Stetson which is close to home but expensive
  • UNF which would be free for me basically but don’t like the campus
  • FAU which would also be free for me but not sure about their pre law programs and it’s about 3 hours from home and I’m gonna miss my mom…

Waitlisted

Hello everyone,

I’m a rising undergrad freshmen and was placed on the waitlist for fall 2024. Is anyone else in this predicament, and are the chances high that I will get in?

Don’t know if anyone is in a similar situation!

Any help is appreciated

Are there any microscopes on campus I could use?

I’m not in a major that uses microscopes but I wanted to see if my hair was low porosity or not. I am near the honors campus however I can sometimes go to the main campus too

Just got wait-listed.

I applied for fall 2024 with 1200 SAT, 3.69 Unweighted GPA and 3.8 Weighted. (I will say though, I did apply kinda late… Like, in march.) I am a florida resident, 30 mins from campus. They said that my final decision will be given on may 31st the latest. Will I get in?

I just got dismissed on Academic Probation. What now?

Title pretty much says it all but for added context I fucked around a bunch when I first got into FAU and that lead to me getting suspended. For about 2 years I’ve tried really hard to stay on top of school and get my GPA up but I messed up this semester and got dismissed.

Obviously I wanna keep going to FAU, but more importantly I just don’t really know what to do with myself now. Is there anyway to appeal my dismissal early? Or does anyone have any advice on what I can do to strengthen my appeal or just really move forward in general?

TLDR; just got dismissed cus my GPA and grades were too bad, so I need advice on what to do now.

I did terrible in PBSC and want to switch to FAU

I went to PBSC for my first year this year, and I did absolutely terrible. I’m working two full times and trying to balance it out, I definitely wasn’t able to.

I want to possibly switch to FAU to reset my GPA (if that’s even possible) and just get a clean slate, not working next year. Ontop of that, PBSC has been a bad match for me.

I’m trying to become a teacher in the future and get a bachelors in secondary education.

I believe my PBSC GPA is a 2.0, but my high school GPA is a 3.2. I haven’t taken the SAT (I’m pretty sure I’d get a pretty average score) but I’m willing to take it now to try to get in. Would I be able to use my GPA from high school, or do I need to use my PBSC GPA?

Is it worth trying?

For past summer students, what did you do to get daily meals?

So I'm taking in person summer courses for the first half of summer and recently found out that the dining hall is closed all summer. For those who have done this, how did you do it?

I'm not worried too much about breakfast since I can easily make oatmeal with materials that don't take up too much space, cost, or refrigeration. For dinner, I plan to pay for breezeway stuff, but Im not sure what the costs are since I normally rely on the dining hall.

At the moment I dont have a car, so shopping isn't too much of an option. I also have a small fridge, so there is only so much I can refrigerate or freeze. I do have a microwave, though.

Summer B on campus

Does anyone know when the contracts for summer dorms release for summer B? It says late may on some pages but others don't mention it whatsoever. I know I got in to housing because I applied the first day, I just haven't heard anything from housing.

FAU or University of Tampa ?

Hello all,

I’m a current student here in Texas and am torn apart where I should spend my next four years of undergrad. Im the top of my class for my public high school and im undecided on what I should study, but have a feeling it’s going to be somewhere in the business area. It is close to the deadline and have to make a choice soon, and I know that at UT I would for sure get on campus housing when compared to FAU where id know have to live in an off-campus living space. I understand UT has a bit of a snobby reputation, so it makes it a little hard. Any opinions about either university would be much appreciated !
