FAU 2015 ABSN Applicants

Published

Applications are open for FAU's January 2015 enrollment date! With just over 4 months until the deadline and 8 months to the start of the program, now seemed like as good a time as any to start a forum to ask questions, relay information, and support possible future classmates.

To start off, I was wondering if any one knew if they normally offer a ABSN program that begins in the Spring. I had only heard of admittance to the Summer semester at the beginning of May.

Best of luck to everyone!

Do we have any idea how many applicants there are?

Last year they said they get around 800. But we are in a unique application cycle so I can't say how many people met the new deadline.

I'm very frustrated too. I'm calling the school Monday if we hear nothing this weekend. I have no idea why they said they will contact us on a Saturday. Very unusual.

For only the accelerated program or for both? Wouldn't you think they would proofread the emails since they know were all anxiously waiting!!

For the accelerated program mostly. There are some reserved slots for students in the honors nursing pathway but those numbers change every year.

800 applicants just to the accelerated program?!? And only 40 slots right? I knew it was competitive but now I'm really worried.

No email either. The waiting continues!

Don't be anxious Debblasko. FAU is competitive but many, many applicants are thrown out of consideration for not meeting the minimum requirements ( GPA too low, TEAS score too low, incorrect prerequisites, incomplete application). Plus, this thread is not nearly as active as the previous years' so there may be a smaller number of applicants(hopefully). I keep my fingers and toes crossed but I always send positive thoughts out into the universe. And make sure I have a solid backup plan;)

Thanks pipmunk! I really appreciate the reassurance. Hopefully we'll all be hearing good news soon

STILL NO EMAIL :cry:

I think someone mentioned they were going to contact them if we didn't hear anything over the weekend. Has anyone contacted them?

Hi everyone! I just called them and they said that they were waiting on the board to approve the list and once this happens they will send out the emails!

Sooo exciting!! Did they say about how long that would be? Like sometime today or sometime this week? Thanks for calling!
