FAU Accelerated BSN May 2010

[SFloridaRN2010]

Does anyone know when they send out acceptance or rejection notifications for FAU Accelerated BSN? I remember seeing a thread on here with that information, but I cannot find it now. Anyone else anxiously awaiting a response from FAU Accelerated?

did you put the traditional as second choice? and if you did, did you receive a letter in response to that?

some posts have been edited to comply with the terms of service. please do not post names or contact information of professors or other school officials on the public board. it is better to communicate this type of information via the private message system.

as stated in the terms of service:

while it is important to be able to network, everyone should be mindful of the following:

1. it is a small world - when we narrow it down to a state and throw in some personal info, there is actually a pretty good chance someone may recognize you if you are not careful. your privacy is paramount to us.
   
2. while allnurses.com is a wonderful place to vent (without excess personally identifiable details) it is not the place to express why ("x" specific person, place or program) is terrible. gripe away, but since we cannot permit allegations to be made about named entities, your care in not naming them is very much appreciated.
   
3. please do not give out personal information about others. do not name names where anyone could identify the person in any facility including your nursing programs.
   

thank you for your cooperation. the best of luck to all of you!

What are you all doing about housing? Is anyone familiar with Boca Raton and want to give me some suggestions for reasonably priced apartments?

I've lived in South Florida but I don't know much about Boca specifically. I've been searching craigslist.com for apartments. From what I know, Boca in general is nice, but a bit on the more expensive side. Coral Springs/Deerfield/Pompano can be a bit less expensive and are still close to FAU. Hope that helps narrow it down some!

I just took the HESI exam. My final scores were: Grammar: 88%; Reading: 93%; Vocabulary: 76%; Math: 98%; and the total score was 88.9%. I know that FAU requires at least 80% in each section. I just want to know if I still might be considered for the one year accelerated program. I have strong compensating factors. My GPA for my undergraduate is 3.88. I finished a MBA in FAU a year ago, with a total GPA of 3.694. As per the prerequisites my GPA is 3.75. I Just want to know if this is still worth it to apply, or if you think I should consider other alternatives based on previous statistics of the people FAU haS admitted in the past. My first option has always been FAU since I am a previous graduate student, and I love the school. Unfortunately, this seems that I am not meeting the criteria to be considered for admission since my vocabulary section was under 80%. I would like to know if I still might have chances based on my background, or if you think they will disregard my application. Can anyone that has been admitted to FAU share their hesi's and GPA'S scores? Thanks!

Hi, I saw you were admitted to the program. I hope you are having a good year at the school. I was wondering if you know the average GPA and HESI scores of admitted students.

Thank you very much!

I am very excited! I was accepted to the Nursing program. I would like to ask to those FAU students if the can share some experiences about the program and the classes and what we should expect. Thanks!
