Accelerated nursing program at florida atlantic university

[Canadian eh?]

I have a gpa of 3.6 on a 4.0 scale but my school uses a 4.33 scale so on that scale my actual school cGpa is a 3.68...From what I understand, at FAU they do not convert your transcript grades to fit to their schools grading system, rather, they just take your own institutional GPA from the school you come from and use that..my question is, since I come from a canadian school and my schools gpa system is based on the 4.33 scale, will they look at my gpa and convert it to a 4.0 scale(which is i presume what they use) or take my gpa for what it is during the admission review process???.:uhoh21:...also anyone happen to know what the average admission gpa is for FAU.??...my last question..sorry for bombarding you all at once...anyone know how often they offer the HESI extrance exam to be written...being that I am in canada and plan on entering an accelerated program in MAY 2010 when should i ideally write it (with consideration particularly of application time for FAU) I cant stress enough how thankful I am for everyones help!.:heartbeat

Hi!! I hope you had great holidays! any news from any program? have you decided what other programs will you apply??

Hi Esla, how have you been? My holidays were great. No, I have not heard anything from FAU other than the generic email they sent to the applicants stating we should know by the end of Feb. I should also know around that time about UCF. I decided not to apply to UF. I checked out the Gainesville area over break and I don't want to move my family there, even if it would only be temporary. We also checked out the Boca area, and we liked it there. I figure if I do not get into UCF or FAU, then I will apply to USF. I might go ahead and submit the materials to USF prior to hearing from the other two, but I can't submit them yet because I am still waiting on acceptance to the university.
