FAU 2014 ABSN applicants

U.S.A. Florida

Published

I haven't seen a thread directed at applicants for this application cycle, so I figured I'd start one! Just one month left until applications open. Who's ready? :) I figure we can meet here to discuss any questions or issues with applications, provide support and feedback to fellow applicants, as well as introduce ourselves as potential future classmates! Communication is, after all, critical for all nurses.

I actually have a question to start us off. The pre-requisites listed for the program mention "College Algebra or equivalent" for science GPA calculations. In my case, I took a few more advanced mathematics courses for my degree, and I have a better grade in Calculus than I do in College Algebra. I can only chalk it up to it being my first semester in college. Does anyone know if they will count my Calc grade instead? It means the difference between a 3.8 and 3.9 for my science GPA.

Did you receive a card? Sounds like the same thing, but you should have received a card as proof that you took the course. That's what you will need to show FAU.

Hey all! So starting to think about backups (panicking has officially set in... lol). Does anyone have any experience/knowledge about Bethesda College of Health Sciences in Boynton Beach? Any comparison to PBSC or BC. I will be looking at ASN options as a back up to FAU because the other BSN programs (Nova, Barry etc...) are way out of my budget.

I do have a card :) I will call FAU just to be sure.

Thanks Quendi, you are really a very, very, professional blog moderator. I bet you are going to be a leader in the nursing field at some point, you have the skills and the potential.

Lol. I'm not so sure about that, but I'm going to definitely try my darnedest! I just know that I like to have every bit of information I need at hand, so answering questions and researching information for people is something I find helps me too. It's a little bit selfish of me in that respect, I suppose. I honestly just want everyone to succeed here. I've become rather attached to my fellow forum posters.

At the end of the interview I was in they said we could expect to hear back in three weeks, which would be March 14th. A week from today! XD

I'm thinking they will send out the emails on Friday, so I'm going to try to remain calm until then :) Good luck everyone!!
