FIU AO BSN (fall 2020)

Published

Hi everyone!
This site has been very helpful for me while I worked on my application, therefore, I wanted to start a thread on the applicants for FIU’s fall 2020 AO BSN program. It may be a little early right now, but I would love to speak to anyone who has applied or planning to. ?

Does anybody have friends already in the program? I know there’s no changing it at this point for this application cycle, but it would ease my mind to get some insight ?

Do you think an 89.3 TEAS could make up for a low GPA (3.165)? I saw that the average GPA last year was pretty high..

I took it! I think it's different for everyone. The platform itself is easy to navigate/use. I recommend testing your internet connection speed before! I lost connection mid exam but their technical support line was easy to get through. They include the phone number in the PDF MDC sends when confirming your exam. They ask you to scan the room, scan your ID & test your mic & webcam. It's all through the ATI website - it links you to a proctor.

I think an 89.3 is really good!! Is that your overall GPA or your pre-req GPA? If thats your pre-req then it doesnt meet the requirement (I also believe the average GPA is 3.6 per FIU). But If not then you should be fine. I have similar stats and im not as worried.

I included my volunteer hours at a hospital. I had other volunteer hours but I couldn't get the letterhead in time, so I only included them in my CV.

Back in June I asked about their stats of those accepted. They told me:

3.6 - Pre-requisite GPA

85% on TEAS - 75% on science portion

60 seats for accelerated (150-180 applicants)

Awesome thanks for the info.

Meanwhile, has anyone heard back?? Has anyone reached out to find out when acceptances will be sent out?
