What students say PRO
From students' own posts on Reddit and admissions forums: self-reported, unverified, never used in your odds.
- Many admits (about 8 of 14) held leadership roles, such as club president, team captain, founder, or mentor.
- About 7 of 14 admits had a part-time job or heavy family duties alongside school, such as retail, bakery work, or relocation.
- Most admits (about 10 of 14) did regular community service, such as food pantries, tutoring, translating, or animal shelters.
- Admits ranged widely: GPAs from about 3.0 to 4.0 and SAT scores from about 1120 to 1600, so one number rarely decided it.
- Students report financial aid disbursements were delayed for weeks, which they link to federal changes, leaving big balances due.
- Students report some aid offers shrank or disappeared, including lower Pell amounts, and that extra verification was added.
- Students report the aid office phone and chat had very long waits, and suggest using the payment plan while waiting.
- Students advise applying for many FIU scholarships, and say the in-state tuition scholarship requires official score reporting.
