I was listed as an alternate for the Social Science & Public Affairs Community. What are my chances of getting in?
It depends. Every year, several students turn down invitations to join the Community, for a variety of reasons. Some choose not to attend FSU at all, some join the Honors program or another living-learning community on campus, and some choose to live in a regular residence hall with friends who were not admitted to our community. Most of the applicants who are not accepted right away are listed as alternates, and in some years we go more than half way down this list in order to fill the Community, but some years there may be more (or fewer) students who accept their initial invitation. We also are constrained by gender, as our residence hall is composed of male-only and female-only suites and we cannot always replace a female student’s spot with a male student (or vice versa). There may be some years, then, where almost every male student accepts the invitation to join the Community while we go relatively far down the female alternate list (or vice versa).
