How Late Is Too Late to Apply?!?

I'm a senior in highschool and I plan on applying to fgcu. I know the early decision application deadline isn't until nov 1st, but i've been seeing many ppl saying this school is easy to get into as long as you apply early. Does that mean within the early decision timeframe or does that mean when applications opened aug 1st??

I planned on applying sep 1st but I didn't get my sat scores until sep 6th and I've been struggling with writing my essay. I even went on a tour there and they really stressed applying early, that was aug 30th.

My gpa is 3.65 and my sat score is 1130. I know these are good enough to get in but I'm scared i've waited too long to apply. If you have any insight pleaseeee answer! I made a reddit account just to ask this.

Graduation Question

I need a little guidance. I went to FIU for my bachelor’s and they did not require us to return our graduation gown. I see that FGCU states that this is only a rental, but we can keep our cap. Do we have to return our Masters hood as well? Also, why is it SO expensive just to RENT? 😭

Does Dual enrollment GPA transfer?

So for context, I took dual enrollment in high school at my local community college and I passed a course with a C but then also failed some courses and ruined my college GPA at that institution because I was careless and didn’t think about how it would affect me later on. Now i’m in University and when I applied here I put that single dual enrollment class on my application so now my current university is asking for that college transcript. Will my GPA from that community college transfer to my current University? I’m asking because i plan on applying to the nursing program here and if that GPA transfers then I have no chance at being able to get in even if I get straight As in all of my classes. I will also be put on academic probation and lose my financial aid that’s keeping me here. Please help me, my registration for spring is on hold because of this. I don’t know what I can do or what I should do.

Adult Transfer

Hi, so I’m trying to transfer back to university after getting my gpa up from literal trash. I decided on in state even though I originally went out of state to a Ga Uni. I’m looking at FGCU as a choice and I wanted to know how was their Multi-media design program and communications program. As of right now I have most of my prerequisites finished besides math but that shouldn’t be an issue if I enroll for the summer of 2025. I can’t find any other info/reviews on it from other students so I’m coming to the handy dandy Reddit forum for answers. Any other comments about overall experience is welcomed and appreciated too!

BA/M- Accelerated English program

I'm a junior, transferred from FSW with my AA. Is the program good? Is it worth the time and money? I'd be joining in Fall 2025 if I'm accepted. I'm nervous about writing the 8-10 page literary analysis for the application since I haven't done one of that length before. Any tips for that? All advice is appreciated.

I'm an English Major with an education minor. I plan to teach as soon as I graduate. I'm Aiming for high school (considering middle school). Would a gap year of teaching be worth it before pursuing a MA somewhere else or would this accelerated program put me ahead? I don't plan to stay in FL for long. I'd like to move out west.

Refund question

On the billing and payment center page on my student account it has three things Balance, Estimated financial aid, Balance including estimated aid. The first one is zero and the last two are the same amount but the balance, including estimated aid is a negative number. What does this mean? I got an ACH refund today as well and it’s in my bank account.

class withdrawal question

Hi! I’m currently a freshman in my first semester, I had a question about dropping a class after the deadline. I recently found out I had already earned a credit for a class I’m taking now, so I was wondering if dropping it would earn me any penalties on my academic record (if I can drop the class at all). I’ve already asked to schedule a meeting with my academic advisor but I would appreciate any advice!

On Campus Jobs

How do I apply for an on campus job? Somewhere like the bookstore or library. I live on campus with no car so an off campus job isn’t really an option. Thank you.

Stolen lunchbox??

I am at the school from 9am to 7pm so I bring two lunch boxes but sometimes it’s a lot to carry so I’ll sit it at the door outside the classroom. Today in BHG both my lunchboxes were taken and have not been turned in to the lost and found, I don’t even know what to do- is there a way to have someone check the cameras? I just don’t wanna have to buy two whole new lunch boxes.

Smoke spots I can walk to

Hey y’all. I’m a freshman w my med card and I don’t have a car so recently I’ve been walking to the UV shops to take my dabs. I have a seahorse so it’s not super stinky or anything like a joint. Anywhere within walking distance from Sovi that’s kind of quiet would work. anyone have any recommendations? (Off campus ofc)
