FAU is not highly ranked but there is aNov 29 2012History/Histories (art history/etc.)
FAU is not highly ranked but there is a high demand to get in. All Florida universities except UM and UF are absolute garbage but admission is generally quite competitive due to the state's huge population. I did fine on my SAT so getting in wasnt an issue for me. However, I knew kids who got around the 1500 mark (low but not abysmal) who were turned away. My estimate: SAT 1750+ = auto admit regardless of GPA. 1650-1750 should be fine with a GPA over 2.7. 1550-1650 SAT, 3.0 GPA would cut it. Less than 1500 and your community college material as far as your standardized tests go so I hope your GPA is well over 3.

AA + 3.1 gpaSep 30 2012History/Histories (art history/etc.)
AA + 3.1 gpa. Considering it takes a 3.0 to get into UF or FSU via. transfer with an AA, I cant imagine how easy it is to go here.

I recommend that the type of students to applyAug 11 2012Nursing
I recommend that the type of students to apply to be interested in the experience and not just prestige. They would have to be willing to submerge themselves with a bunch of other students of different ages and ethnicity. They would also have to be open-minded to being social, sharing ideas, and putting themselves out there to be the pioneers to make FAU a great top tier institution. Since the school is fairly new compared to other universities, it's up to the students to show how strong FAU can become.

Easy to get in. If you get your AA first, the requirements are slim to none.
