Susieq_07 · Aug 18, 2014

Hello,

I just came across this thread and was wondering if anyone has applied and heard back regarding their acceptance? I applied but no news yet :nailbiting: .

Thanks!

I applied as well. I got an email July 30th saying my application was received and I would find out if I got accepted within the next few weeks. I'm also applying to miami dade. Good luck to us!

Hello xxlita611xx,

I received that same email but unfortunately haven't heard anything since. I also applied to MDC, but we should be hearing back from them sometime in September or October.

Good luck... I hope you get into the school of your choice :)

I heard back from FIU and it seems like interviews are going to be held the first week of October.

I just heard back today too! It was info on background check and then the interview. I had no idea there would be an interview. I wish I would know if I got accepted to MDC before having to decide so quickly for FIU.. I wonder what type of questions they will ask in the interview.

Hey all!! I also recently applied to FIU's Accelerated Option BSN Program. I put in my application around the end of June.

My stats:

Bachelor of Biology from Nova Southeastern Univ

Undergrad GPA = 3.56

Pre-Req GPA = 3.78

TEAS Exam = 90.7 (99th percentile national, 98th percentile program)

I got a response email on Aug 22nd regarding next steps:

It is my pleasure to inform you that you are on the list for the next round for admission to the Accelerated Option Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program in the Nicole Wertheim College of Nursing & Health Sciences at Florida International University for the Spring Semester 2014. Your status is conditional based on successful completion of a criminal background check (Package 1) ONLY prior toSeptember 15 (see attached information sheet).
Interviews will be held the first full week of October. You will receive an email after September 15 based on the criminal background check to schedule your admission interview. Admission into the program is also based on full completion of all prerequisites and TEAS exam.
In order to secure your spot you must email your response to ********** no later than September 15, 2014. This does not indicate you have been accepted to our BSN program, ONLY that you are being considered. Final notification of your status regarding our program will be communicated to you prior to the first day of classes, in November. We also request that you notify us via email if you no longer wish to be considered for admission for any reason, including acceptance to another nursing program.
In closing, we appreciate your ongoing patience with this process and we pledge to notify you as quickly as possible when, or if, your status in the program changes.
Thank you,

I did the background check, which costs $50+, on Aug 25th and got a copy of the completed report the next day. It was good, of course. So now I'm prepping for the interview in October. Hopefully I do well on the interview, because I would be extremely honored to be a part of this program!! Can't wait to start!

Anyone else out there getting ready for interviews in Oct??

I completed my background check and now just waiting for my interview date too. I'm nervous, but hoping to do well on the interview!

Hi all,

Trying to prep for the interview but I'm not quite sure what to expect. I've noticed that not many ABSN programs conduct interviews. I'm guessing since this is a new program they want to get to know their first cohort better if accepted. Good luck to everyone!

thatguy777 · Oct 15, 2014

Anyone hear back yet?

Susieq_07 · Oct 15, 2014

Not yet. I was told we would be hearing back sometime this week :nailbiting:
