Before you apply to WIMSE

 

• You must be admitted to Florida State University.  Information on Florida State's admissions process can be found on the Office of Undergraduate Admissions' website.



• Apply to University Housingand submit the required deposit.  You should do this as soon as possible, even if you are undecided about attending FSU.  All FSU Housing assignments (now and in the future) will be made based on your application priority number.  If you decide not to attend FSU, you will receive all but $50 of the Housing deposit back as long as you notify FSU by May 1.  It's cheap insurance!!



• You must have a declared major in one of the participating departments or Exploratory Sciences, Technology and Engineering.
