Starting a thread for 2026 cohort as the application deadline just opened. Share stats, questions and concerns.

Thanks for making this! I'm excited to apply this app cycle! 

[Tinkerbell30]

Me too, but from what I see they make decisions end of February. That seems kind of late compared to everyone else, and then classes start right around the corner in May. Not much time to move, what do you think?

Hi there also applying this cycle, 

Where did you see they accept at the end of Feburary? I see on their website the application deadline is Janurary 15, 2026 but I would have assumed they would be interviewing and accepting people throughout the application period...

I see that from previous posts here from previous years. FSU doesn't do rolling admissions, looks like they wait until the deadline.

Ahhh I see, well good luck to everyone! Anyone want to share stats?

Apps are due 1/15/26. Interviews should be like mid Feb 16-22 range. Admission decisions usually a few days after. First semester is hybrid so you can spend the Summer at home and move for the fall or just move before the Summer semester.

Sure, stats aren't everything though. They just get you into the interview and then you have to ace that.

I actually like that they gather all applications and then decide who interviews.  I have noticed with other schools that do rolling admissions that they don't always accept the applicants with the strongest experience or stats.  Just because you apply early and meet the minimal standards doesn't really mean you are a better candidate than someone who applies a few months later.

Wish you all good luck!

From previous all nurses threads it seems like we won't hear back until after the deadline so I think that's like the one thing is that not much prep time before starting
