Hey everyone! I’m an international student from Asia and FSU is honestly my dream school. I’m currently considering applying for Marketing/Business, and I’ve been researching the school for a while. I absolutely love the football culture, Greek life, school spirit and overall college experience.

The only thing making me nervous is the acceptance rate. I’ve seen some pretty low numbers online, so I’m not really sure how competitive FSU actually is for international students. (I think that they often prioritize in-state students.)

For some context, my current GPA is 8.2/10 (roughly around a 3.3/4.0, although I know the conversion isn’t exact), but I’m still in high school (i'm a junior) so I have time to improve it as much as I can before applying. I’m aiming for a 7.0 IELTS as well. For extracurriculars, I have some leadership experience at school, volunteering/community service, and Media/Content-related activities.

Do you guys think it’s realistically possible for me to get into FSU if I can bring my GPA up and build a stronger application over the next couple of years? And for international students who have actually applied, how competitive did you find it?

FSU is genuinely my #1 dream school, so I’d really appreciate any honest advice on what I should focus on from now to give myself the best possible chance.

hey guys, i’m an international student planning to major in marketing and i’m currently deciding between FSU and SDSU. i’m honestly so torn 😭

FSU seems to have that really traditional american college vibe with football, greek life, parties, school spirit and everything happening around campus, while SDSU is in San Diego so there’s the beach, good weather, a bigger city and more stuff to do outside of campus. SDSU also seems pretty good for business/marketing.

for anyone who goes to either school or knows people who do, which one do you think is more fun overall? like where would you say you’d make the best memories, meet more people, have a better social life and actually enjoy your 4 years?

also how different are the greek life/football scenes between the two? and as an international student, is it hard to make friends at either school?

basically if you had to choose again, FSU or SDSU?
