Fall 2014 SSC/UCF Concurrent Program

Positive thoughts!

Hi all! I applied to UCF's Basic BSN and we are still waiting on decision emails! It is so frustrating waiting and not knowing!!

Last year, I surprisingly was able to interview for the basic program but then I got an e-mail saying I was waitlisted. As a back up plan, I decided to apply to the SSC concurrent program! I have heard that it is exceptional and I am actually friends with a few girls who are in the program now and they all told me to apply regardless of how low I thought my scores were.

At the information session, I know they mentioned that they get about 300-400 applicants per cycle. A 50/50 shot isn't too bad!!

My stats are:

1. Completed prereq courses in Fall 2013

2. Recalculated GPA 3.4

3. TEAS score 84

4. AA - Dec, 2012

Here's hoping I get a seat!!! Thank you all for sharing your comments and frustrations with the waiting process. I'm so glad I'm not alone in being impatient!!!

Great stats! I think you have a great chance of getting into either program. Goodluck and hope to meet you in one of the programs!

I went for my second Hep B shot yesterday. I was actually excited and happy about it which is so silly but in my head I'm telling myself that it's one step closer to the program. I certainly never thought I'd be happy about shelling out $70 for a shot and yet, here I am.

Thank you Lee2014! Hope to meet you as well in either! We all just gotta keep pursuing this dream and keep our fingers crossed it's our time

About four more weeks left to hear back! :)

So impatient!! Especially now that Ucf basic decisions came out and I was denied

Joyfulfuturenurse, I'm sorry to hear that.. But all is far from lost! With my 3.4 GPA I didn't bother applying to UCF for their generic...the next month or so is going to draaag by..

I bet we will hear back in the next couple of weeks!

I got an email earlier today from Jessica Simmons, the assistant director to the college of nursing, and there's a line in the e-mail that reads: In Fall 2014, we will also admit students into our Seminole State and Valencia/UCF Concurrent ASN-BSN Programs. The Seminole State/UCF Concurrent ASN-BSN Program application deadline was March 28, and if you applied to that program, we will be making admission decisions by the end of the month.

Wow, I was not expecting to hear back that soon. Thank you for letting us know!

I know I'm getting WAY ahead of myself but it's something I haven't thought about until now. I know there is a pinning ceremony when we earn our ASN but do we participate in the graduation ceremony at UCF when we earn the BSN?
