FAU 2014 ABSN applicants

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.

Hey! I don't mind answering some questions. :)

I know very few people who were accepted had any sort of prior clinical experience. They don't really require it, and you never really have the opportunity to talk about it, so you should be just fine.

As for GPA and TEAS, I can't really tell you how they make their final selections given the number of qualified applicants. All you can do is worry about your scores, and do the best you possibly can. Best of luck!

What is the difference between FAUs ABSN and Traditional BSN? I know you're required to have a bachelors for the ABSN but don't they both take the same amount of semesters to complete?

What type of questions did they ask in the interview? Was it a group interview? My app is in for the Spring 2016 ABSN program!
