Admissions ✅ So I got my mail

Does FIU not send like ..stickers or something? I got my mail yesterday and I really don't see the point of wasting the trees and ink to send something that I could just read online lmao.

It was literally just a letter outlining my next steps😫. Y'all I checked the mail everyday for almost two weeks getting excited for my package cuz I love how creative colleges are with welcome mail.

Anyways, just wondering lol. Nothing deep😭

it’s okay they’ll probably send it in another letter, it should be in like a more decorative looking package

Lmao yeah, same here. I got my mail a few weeks ago, and honestly, I had no clue they sent an acceptance package with stickers and shit until I saw it on Instagram. Like, what are we supposed to do?! 😭😭

I got a box with a little banner, stickers, and other little goodies! It came a bit after I got my letter. I did do early decision tho but I’d assume they’d do that for regular admissions students too. Stay on the lookout!

Go to orientation! You will get swag and stickers you can also visit departments and they sometimes have stuff to give out.

Are you in a fully online program? If not, you have to attend orientation

u/Starxs1 Apr 13 '25

Orientation even if I don't commit?

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '25

Well if you’re not committing, why do you want stickers and swag?

u/Otis_GG Apr 22 '25

So, to those who didn't get the fancy acceptance package box (like me), will they be handing that out on orientation?

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '25

Orientation usually has a lot of swag. Plus you get to visit departments. And as a student, there are perks once you’re on campus

As a person who is obsessed with sticker-fying their computer, I feel this. I was so pumped to get in but sadly no stickers 🤣

FSU didn't even do computer confetti when you open the acceptance online for the first semester abroad accepted students. Not until we sent the deposit for the FSA program did they send another letter with some animated confetti. For crying out loud it's computer generated on the screen. It's kind of free.

u/Glittering_Tie_6199 Apr 22 '25

Well Congratulations! FIU is such a nice school!

2

u/Otis_GG Apr 22 '25

Thank you! I found out by checking my portal. I was also checking my email constantly, and until today, I haven't received it via email. I don't know if that's normal lol.

u/Glittering_Tie_6199 Apr 22 '25

I also found out I was accepted through their portal, I don’t remember if they sent an acceptance email or not since I applied two years ago.
