Who would just rather have a refund at this point? I would.

I called the other day and they basically said if you have a deposit somewhere else or have been admitted somewhere else, you should just go there and not wait for FSU. Not a great sign lmao
16:25
Then why not just deny us already?? Lmao
ZonkedPiranha
9:18
literally?? like no use in stringing us along like damn

Ok, who thinks we will make it to August without a decision? I know some have me beat, but I was complete in early November.

I applied september 1st

and still nothing

that's kind of insane and also unprofessional for FSU to not even give someone who applied in SEPTEMBER a decision like cmon
TruthShallSetYouFres
12:05
Should just send a mass email communicating our disappointment, I’m an FSU alum, went to meetings and events for the law school and I haven’t gotten a decision in over 6 months. I got a better offer so wouldn’t go anyways but so incredibly unprofessional.
11:18
I would not be opposed to that. It’s been eight months and no decision and I’m not even the person waiting the longest. They essentially took our money
mdd
14:08
No way they just sent me an R LOL
IckySassyRay
15:13
same
lol wanted to pop in and check, see fsu admissions still sucks
Got waitlisted in January and basically gave up around April and decided for sure I was gonna go to FIU bar any waitlist offers from FSU
They still have never even sent me an update since January, even though I indicated after June 30th I wanted to be taken off the waitlist. No hey sorries or anything lol, but it’s whatever

My understanding is they’re full and want to keep applicants hanging for their benefit in case they need to fill a spot or two. I hope in the future they treat applicants with more respect and humility. Honestly disappointing from a well respected institution

Still, that's what a waitlist is for. Ghosting applicants as a de facto waitlist is, as you've said, disrespectful and disappointing.
IckySassyRay
12:10
I agree
13:03
100%. If I was placed on a waitlist months ago and I still hadn’t heard an answer, I wouldn’t be upset. But ghosting isn’t and should not be a substitute for a waitlist notification

seeing some people having to wait when they applied in September just gives me such a bad taste in my mouth. Really unprofessional to wait until two weeks before school is supposed to start to give people decisions.
ZonkedPiranha
8:59
If this is how their law school operates, I don't want to be there anyways!!
UnableBreakableHamster
10:02
Do we think we will receive a decision prior to the first decision issued for 25-26? Does FSU really intend to give no decision at all and school just starts?
ZonkedPiranha
16:15
i have no idea, but this feels like when I was in a situationship and i do not like it
kimwexleriluvu
16:35
is anyone under review still?
14:39
Finally got denied today bless up
Bammy my man screw FSU they don’t deserve us anyways we taking ourselves to FIU
18:36
hey yall - from what i've heard through the grape vine, fsu law decided to cut their admissions class in half to improve their numbers/ranking. half of the people who would have been accepted last year were not accepted now - so don't feel discouraged.
