UF Accelerated BSN Fall 2012

U.S.A. Florida

Published

HI:)

I am an undergraduate student at UCF right now and will soon be graduating with my degree in Psychology. I am applying to UF's accelerated BSN program for Fall 2012.

My first year of college was brutal!:mad: My first semester I made 4 Cs and 1 D. My second semester I made 2 Cs and 3 Fs. I had to retake the 3 classes I failed over the summer and I made 3 Cs. So... it has completely ruined my GPA. It seems like no matter how many As I make it barely brings it up.

But, thankfully UF only considers your most RECENT 60 credit hours towards your GPA. This is so great because my overall GPA is only a 2.6, but by the time I'm done taking classes my most recent 60 credit hours GPA will be around a 3.7-3.8.

Is anyone else suffering from a year of bad grades like me?

I wish every other school only considered your most recent 60 credit hours. UF seems like my only real hope to be accepted, but at the same time it's UF... not the easiest school to get into.

this is frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would assume that we would pay for it. I know I had to pay for CPR training. UF doesn't have stuff listed on their site but all of the other nursing programs I applied to have those things listed.

It is frustrating, and I can only pray for good news.

Are those of you who got into other programs accepting? Or waiting for UF to hopefully answer soon.

I'm waiting in hopes of hearing from Ken next week. If I don't hear from them, I'll plan on accepting UNF- I'm leaning that way now, but it would be nice to have both options available. I don't understand how they're doing this, with all the other programs needing acceptance before they send out decisions.

I thought maybe UF had spring break this week and that's why we haven't heard, but their break was March 3-10.

They are at least looking at them to see if we're missing anything so my guess is that the review has to be sooner than later. Last year decisions went out around this week or next.

Yeah it was just a lady in the office that told me mid-april so no one official. I'm still thinking early April we will find out. I'm hoping we find out by the end of this month though. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

Do you think Ken might be open to letting us know in an email if we've been accepted? That would at least buy a few days.

That would be really nice but somehow I doubt it.

Ya I don't think he can tell us via email or phone (unless there was some circumstance where the letter could not reach us via mail). It's not really the wait that frustrates me as much as not knowing when the letters will be sent. If they gave us a definitive date we would receive them by I think I would feel a lot better. At least we can all stick through it together....and hopefully some good news will come soon.

I emailed Ken to see if he thought we would hear something before I have to get back to UNF on 3/26- he wrote back that decisions should go out very soon, and I should expect to hear something by 3/26! So cross your fingers everyone!!

I just got nervous. Which I really shouldn't be because I don't have high hopes of getting in. But it's fun to dream lol. Good luck everyone!:uhoh3:
