FIU is not hard to get in at allFeb 16 2012Computer Science
FIU is not hard to get in at all if you already are a good student. It has a 40% acceptance rate and ANYONE that can apply (not just 'A' students) does it. I was accepted right away because I had a high gpa and high SAT score.

Very easy to get into this schoolOct 05 2011Chemical Engineering
Very easy to get into this school. If you have a low 20 ACT and 2.5 HS gpa you will get in. This schools academics are terrible and they accept everyone.

It's really not too tough to get inSep 07 2011Biology
It's really not too tough to get in. Have a decent GPA and SAT/ACT. Alternatively, if you have a crappy ACT/SAT score, have a solid GPA and visa-versa.

I had applied to Barry and FAU, but FIUApr 25 2010Nursing
I had applied to Barry and FAU, but FIU was the school I was hoping to get in. These past three years at FIU have been amazing and I don't ever regret going there one bit! However, you may want to consider going somewhere else for the Nursing program. Their nursing program is very hard to get in. You cannot repeat any of your science courses and you must pass the CLAST exam. Unfortunately, I am not eligible to go into the Nursing program so I must transfer somewhere else. In my opinion, I would suggest Nova for their nursing program. It's the only thing closest to FIU in terms of the large buildings and plenty of activities.

Well given that the admission rate was 34% inMar 21 2010Business - Management and Administration
Well given that the admission rate was 34% in 2009, meaning it was the HARDEST school to get into in Florida (yes, harder than UF and UM), I'd say it's very competitive to get in. I'd say get a really high SAT score and do well in high school, and you're good.
