I already sent the form back to them and accepted the spot as an alternate. I am just hoping to get in somewhere and FSU was definitely a top choice. However, it's also the first school I've heard back from, so I was really, really hoping to get in.

We shall see.

Congrats on getting accepted! It sounds like the competition is pretty stiff, but I found your stats and you should be good to go.

Any reason you're hoping for UNF or UCF over FSU?

Overall GPA: 3.93, Pre-req GPA: 3.96.

I'll hear back from UCF in April and UNF in June. If I get in to UCF, I'll go ahead and accept there and withdraw from the FSU program. I'm from Tallahassee, so I'm mainly looking at other schools because I'm ready to get out of town. Plus I've heard some great things about those programs. Fingers crossed. So much waiting...

@eptnurse :

Congrats on your acceptance! When did you find out? Where are you transferring from? I haven't heard anything yet, but my GPA is a 4.0 so I don't know what more I could have done.

And UCF seems like a great program. I went to UCF my first year and recently changed my major to nursing. This semester I am in 2 sciences so I was unable to apply to UCF, which really sucks!

@ashtay06: I received an email this afternoon; I'd definitely call Thursday if you don't hear anything tomorrow. I'm transferring from Tallahassee Community College which is FSU's largest feeder school. What about you?

UCF is my top choice right now. How did you like Orlando? I'm not familiar at all with the area.

I did my first year at UCF and then moved back home once I realized I wouldn't be able to apply for their fall 2015 program, so now I am just finishing all the pre reqs this semester at Broward College. I already had most of my college credits because I did dual enrollment in high school.

And I really loved it! It is just a nice area, and the school is beautiful. Plus there's a lot to do in orlando. Of all the schools it would definitely be my first choice also :)

I graduated from UNF in December 2013 with my BA in Education and it's a great school. The campus is great, small class sizes, and I loved the community feel there. The nursing program is awesome and you have access to a ton of different hospitals (mostly urban, but some rural), all of which are within a 30 minute drive from the university. My fiancee (soon-to-be husband next month) is an RN and went to school in Jacksonville and he was able to get a lot of great experience at the hospitals in the area.

That's why I'm so torn between the two. UCF is in a bigger city with a great program, which is appealing after being in Tallahassee for so long. But UNF has smaller cohorts and the most thorough admissions process of all the schools that I'm applying to, which I also like because it means they really want to get to know you before they let you on board. So if I get into UCF, I'll accept there but still go through the rest of the process at UNF. Both cities have great medical communities. I'll also apply to USF if I don't get into UCF.

I also haven't done my speech requirement for FSU which you don't have to do before transferring, but I have no idea when I would get it done while I'm in nursing school. Another reason I'm probably going elsewhere!

Congrats on your marriage genonurse!

Thank you for the congrats, epturse :)

Sounds like you have a lot of options, which is certainly a good thing.

Do any of you know how to find out your FSU GPA? I'm dying to know mine now.

This is the only thing that I could find about that. It looks a little tedious but it might help.

Yea, that won't work for me because each school accepts different classes from my over 170 credit hour I've taken.

Thanks for trying to help!

Hi everyone!! I was accepted to FSU's CON for Fall 2015, however, I have gotten accepted in UNF's program and will be attending there as that was my first choice school. So, I will be letting FSU know sometime this week that I am declining their offer. For all of you wait-listers, I am really hoping this opens up a spot for one of you guys!! :)
