    I plan on applying. I recently completed the university application, and I have just a few pre-reqs to finish. I will be taking the TEAS exam in a few months. I really hope I do well enough on everything to get in, but I am going to try not to get my hopes up too much.

    The pre-reqs are A & P 1 and 2, Microbiology, Chemistry, Statistics, Intro to Sociology, General Psychology, Nutrition, and Human Development. To be considered for the accelerated program you also must have a bachelor's degree in another field. UCF also offers a traditional BSN program. The RN designation you will have upon licensure, and the BSN is a degree than will enable you to sit for the licensing exam.

    I have done all those pre-req's except chem and statistic. I am currently at Valencia community college and have been accepted into the nursing program. I am supose to start summer term 2011 but I have been looking into my options. Somebody told me Ucf/Vcc had some sort of program where you could be in vcc's nursing program while taking classes to do your BSN at the same time through ucf. do you know anything about that?

    I do not know anything specifically about such a program between UCF and VCC, but I thought I read on these boards before that a poster had started taking UCF BSN classes while still at VCC. I have not seen any specific information on either of UCF's or VCC's nursing websites regarding this type of program. I do know that Seminole State College has such a program with UCF.

    Anyone applying to this program? I have heard it is ultra competitive, but I have attended an information session yet, so I was curious if anyone had any information.

    I'm looking to apply but I don't have my hopes up too much. It is indeed competitive. Last year's entering class had an average GPA of 3.73 ... I went to an info session and the guy presenting basically said that to be considered competitive in the application process you should have an OVERALL GPA (not just prereqs, every undergrad course taken ever) of 3.4, minimum. As for the TEAS, I forgot what the averages were for that, but I do remember that they will accept scores from versions 3.0, 4.0 or V. I know it's a good program and everything but something is bothering me about the whole thing. Thankfully I am applying to other schools

    I am also going to apply to a few other schools besides UCF. I really do hope UCF works out because I like the Orlando area, but the other schools I am looking at seem to be in decent areas as well. I spoke with an advisor at UCF a few months ago, and she said the TEAS scores are not weighted that heavily in decision making, but I still think it would be a good idea to try to get the highest score possible.

    I talked to an advisor today and I basically feel a little discouraged. I think my cum GPA is around a 3.4 and my pre req GPA is about the same and she basically told me that I might not even be competitive. I took the TEAS as well and got a 87.1% which I thought was good, but I guess the average last year was 84% and the average GPA was 3.6 so I kind of feel like it might be a waste of time even applying. I probably will apply anyway, but I am definetly looking into other options. Something about the whole process just seems a little off, but oh well I suppose. I am applying to Remington as well. I can't leave the central FL area so I have to keep my fingers crossed for either UCF or Remington!!
