FAU Accelerated BSN 2011

Published

Hi I was a current male physical therapy student disappointed with my career choice with a burning passion to be more involved with medicine and taking care of patients. I realized that nursing was a better avenue for what I wanted to do in life (I didn't care to get patients up and walk them, I'd rather be more involved with medical treatment). So I applied to FAU's Accelerated BSN program hoping to be accepted for MAY 2011!!! I will be taking a few more pre-reqs at palm beach state college and hope to hear the good news in February.

Any one else apply?? :coollook:

i'm also still waiting... hopefully we hear by valentines day and the latest the 28th!:hgu: keep hanging in there everyone.

I've started checking the myFAU site to see if my program information is updated. I don't know if this will show anything prior to us receiving an email from the nursing department, but I figure it is worth a check every now and then.

Where is the information located on myfau? I can't find anything that says what program I'm in.

If you click on the link to your unofficial transcript, it will be on a page that has some of your prior courses and grades. It also has a spot for your program and major info. When you log on, to the left of the page, you should see a link to student self-service, then click on student services, and follow the link for student records. It might not even update until we actually accept a spot, but I still like to check!

I checked the unofficial transcript like you said and mine says no program offered. Any one else have the same thing?

Yeah, that is what mine says.

I just read the March 31st decision date on their website... that feels like forever from now! :crying2: and also 88 percent as the average, that's really good. This must be a very tough cycle with the bad economy.

I noticed that date on their website, and I have been hoping it was a typo since it is different than the info that was emailed to us. I think I might email the office tomorrow and see which info is correct. I wonder how many people ended up applying. Maybe they had so many applicants that they needed more time to review all the applications.

I called them a few days ago and they told me over the phone a decision would be out in February. I would presume that the other date would be the last day in which alternates would find out if they had been accepted or not.

They also said there were 900 applicants this year.

Wow!!! Do you know if that 900 was only for the accelerated, or both the accelerated and traditional combined?

No idea, but I would presume for both programs since they're reviewed by the same people.
