FSU Acceptance Rate by Year

Across the 5 cycles with official figures, the acceptance rate has fallen from 36.2% (Class of 2023) to 24.2% (Class of 2028).[1]

Class	Applied	Admitted	Acceptance rate
2028	78,272	18,954	24.2%
2026	78,088	19,552	25.0%
2025	65,256	24,184	37.1%
2024	63,691	20,668	32.5%

Admitted Student Test Scores (Class of 2028)

The middle 50% of enrolled students scored:[1]

• SAT (combined mid-50%): 1270–1410 (EBRW 640–710, Math 630–700)
• ACT composite (mid-50%): 29–32

The combined SAT range is the sum of the two section ranges, not a true composite percentile.

FSU Yield Rate

Of the 18,954 students admitted to the Class of 2028, 5,855 enrolled, a yield rate of 30.9%.[1] Yield is what the university is really managing when it sets an admit rate, so it moves the acceptance rate more than application volume does.

Class	Admitted	Enrolled	Yield
2028	18,954	5,855	30.9%
2026	19,552	6,033	30.9%
2025	24,184	7,619	31.5%
2024	20,668	6,009	29.1%
2023	21,444	7,171	33.4%

What to Expect for the Class of 2030

Over the three most recent official classes (2025–2028) the acceptance rate at FSU has sat between 24.2%–37.1%.

That band is what the school has actually done recently, not a prediction. A single cycle can break it: a change to testing policy, a new direct-admission program, or a jump in application volume moves the rate more than any trend would.

What This Means for Your Application

• Submit strong test scores: Match the admitted students who scored 1270 to 1410 on the SAT or 29 to 32 on the ACT.
• Stand out among thousands: You will compete against a massive applicant pool that recently reached 78,272 students for the Class of 2028.
• Maximize your academic profile: With the acceptance rate falling to 24.2%, simply meeting minimum requirements cannot guarantee a spot among the 18,954 admitted students.
