You have to email it in - I am not sure of the link. Last year I submitted and waited 4 weeks, emailed saying I wanted to verify my app was complete including picture (because I couldn't remember if I had sent it in), no response, so a week later I sent in my pic and within two days was invited for an interview. I think they were waiting to see if I was really concerned or interested enough to follow through on my own. The email inviting you to the secondary app should have some information about who to email the picture to.

There's no mention of a picture in the secondary request/completion e-mails. Might they have done away with the photo requirement?
 
So my application was marked as complete on 8/26/13. It was also marked as under review by the office of admissions that same day. I have yet to hear back since then... should I call/email office of admissions to see what's going on? Also I don't remember emailing a photo but my app is still marked as complete.

They don't require a photo.

Your application will be under review until you get offered an interview, so you don't have anything to worry about.

Yup, as stated in the completion email, they don't really reject and will only contact you for an II so no outright rejection.

Pretty much assumed I was rejected the second my application was complete given my status as an out of state applicant. Nevermind the fact that I was born and raised in Miami and moved at 15, lol.
 
Is it too late to submit a secondary here?
 
Sorry to have misled you, I spoke to Dana and she said that it has changed this year so that the photo is no longer required. As for submitting a secondary - there is no reason not to unless you are past the school's deadline. No secondary app fee.
 
So this is my third time applying to FSU, I was interviewed the previous two times. They wanted me to do a post bacc and bring up my MCAT score...which I did. Science GPA went from 3.2 to 3.35 and my MCAT is now a 28 (PS: 8, VS: 10, BS: 10). My secondary was marked complete and under review on Oct 1st. So I guess my question is, they seem to be taking a little longer this year on II's...does anybody have any info on this? And should I be worried?

I'm instate, hometown is 1.5 hours away and I fit their mission statement like a glove...just feels as though I've gotten lost in the shuffle 🙁

Definitely not worried. Your GPA is low but your MCAT is just shy of their average (and they did interview twice, so definitely shown interest).

Just be patient because I know plenty of people who were complete in Aug, didn't get an II until the new year and accepted later on.
 
Accepted today!! :soexcited::soexcited::soexcited:
Exactly 2 weeks after my interview.
Can't wait to start this summer!
 
II today! Does anybody know when FSU stops interviewing in December? I'm supposed to email them with a date, but they didn't specify. I'd like to try to schedule over winter break if possible 🙂

Nevermind!!! Found the schedule online 😉

Mind sharing when you were complete? I'm curious as to where they are in the dates...
 
Just got accepted...woohoo!!!

Go Noles? Hard to say that bc I'm a former Gator 🙂
 
Does anybody know how to relinquish a spot on the waitlist? I tried to release my spot online but there doesn't seem to be any option to. If anything I'll just email them but I feel like most schools have some way to do this online. Thanks for the help guys
 
I applied here last year and was interviewed late March. I was put on the waiting list and then later rejected. (Since then, I've done a lot more shadowing and have been working in the medical field)
Stats are MCAT 29, cGPA 3.78, sGPA 3.65. EC: a plethora of medical related and non medical related. I don't know if it matters, but I'm also an alum. I haven't heard back anything at all since submitting my secondary. Do you think it's a case of getting lost in the shuffle? Any ideas on what I should do?

I'm IS and I was complete in late July, but I haven't heard anything yet from FSU. I updated them with my summer grades a while back, and still nothing. All we can really do is submit meaningful updates and wait.
 
Any recent II's? I'm getting antsy! Seems like FL schools are slower then usual this year...(or maybe it's just me) :/

Yeah, they are definitely slower this year but I think it's because of the huge delays with AMCAS which pushed everything back a couple of months.

Did you just submit your update to the medadmissions email address?
 
Going to be applying this summer EDP; are my stats good for EDP (3.8C, 3.6S, MCAT next summer)?
 
Just withdrew my application today. Good luck to everyone else!!
 
Accepted 9/12/13 and Sent in my acceptance package 9/20. Who else will be attending FSU in May? Can we make a facebook group???
 
Can any people that have been accepted comment on when they heard on the Tuesday/Wednesday about the admission selection committees final decision

Really depends on the MCAT.....Grades are fine. Remember, there's more than just numbers. Also, FSU, right or wrong, really looks for specific things in candidates.
 
once the secondary has been submitted, does the page seem like you can still edit responses or mine is acting weird?

mine has done that since i submitted too
 
Are they friendly to out of state applicants?

Wow! I won't be looking for an interview invite but maybe it will be more than one oos acceptance this year 🙂

I'm doubtful that FSU would accept anyone with weak/no ties to Florida. The OOS acceptance from last year probably had significant ties to Florida or FSU. The other schools in Florida are pretty open to OOS students though.

UF and USF also have a very, very, very strong IS bias.
 
USF's SELECT program doesn't. You could always consider applying to that.
