I'm right there with you KnowVac. Except I will be applying gradually (pun?) to schools. 2 this week, 1 next month and, if I don't hear back from the last 3, 2 more in February. I think most of the applications I will submit will be 2weeks-1 month prior to deadline.

According to this forum, FSU accepts all who qualify? I see no rejections in the acceptances thread for that school and I read in other comments (before 2015) that FSU accepts a lot of students but does not fund all of them.
