xmadmoizellex 75 Posts Mar 29, 2013 What are your GPA's that applied for FSU transfers? What do you think about the fact that they are only accepting 18 transfer students I guess we just have to wait and see what happens, but that is such a small amount of transfers. The way the application was I can only assume there focus was on GPA. I called and they told me that today they are reviewing applications and that some time next week letters go out. Time is going by so quickly now! It makes me excited! My GPA currently is a 3.88, but with the classes I'm taking this semester I hope to raise it to a 3.9 (crosses fingers). Again, good luck to us all and I hope we all get in! If anyone gets a letter let us know, I know that I will be checking my mailbox everyday starting next week! lol
xmadmoizellex 75 Posts Mar 29, 2013 Wow that's super fast compared to everyone else. Weather we get in or not I think it will be a stress reliever because we wont be on edge for months:)I agree, besides FSU I applied to UF to keep my options open and I heard we won't know about UF till June! So it is certainly a relief that FSU won't keep us waiting that long.

KittyL0ve 31 Posts Apr 2, 2013 Hey all! I am a current FSU student and I also applied for the ABSN. Haven't heard anything yet except that we should expect mail sometime this week or early next week! Good luck to everyone :)
Trishamarie554 22 Posts Apr 2, 2013 Well i dont see much hope for me. I called and they said the letters are going out tomorrow. The average gpa for those who got accepted as transfers was 3.9 and the average science gpa was 3.99.......... ridiculous how competitive these schools are
KittyL0ve 31 Posts Apr 3, 2013 Trisha are those stats for the traditional BSN program or the accelerated BSN? I was told when I started my application that the average traditional BSN GPA was around a 3.8 and that the average ABSN GPA was around a 3.5 or 3.6. I don't think the stats could have changed that much unless I was given misinformation. I know they value science GPA more than overall, however.
KittyL0ve 31 Posts Apr 3, 2013 Btw in the past they only accepted about 32 students each year (for ABSN, at least) so 18 transfers is a really high number
Trishamarie554 22 Posts Apr 3, 2013 Those are the stats for traditional BSN transfers. They didnt know the stats before because this is the first year they will accept from their pool of nursing students who were accepted out of high school. I called yesterday and thats what they told me. They accepted 25 kids so theres no waitlist.
O_Boy 2 Posts Apr 3, 2013 Trisha are you saying that they accepted 25 High Schoolers at the freshman level and the attrition number for the transfers is 18. I know they had over 300 applications in the pot when i was advised and inquired. Also since they started taking freshman at FSU does that mean that the 18 transfers have to come from non-FSU transfers?
Trishamarie554 22 Posts Apr 3, 2013 There are 18 spots but since they dont have a waiting list for transfers they accepted 25 knowing some people will not end up attending. letters go out today. Transfer means transferring from another school to fsu. your not a transfer if your at fsu unless you had a different major and didnt get in the program as a freshman
nurseyoyo17 19 Posts Apr 3, 2013 OMG well my hopes are officially not up my average GPA is 3.71 but may be higher since I am transferring from an out of state college (but not higher by much) but... i do have a 4.0 in my science pre-reqs. with two more science pre-reqs to finish before the program starts. Although I know my chances are not high I still wish to get in but will not be surprised if i am denied I too called and was told only 30 spots were available for the BSN traditional program with 350 applicants. so Im not holding my breath :'(
xmadmoizellex 75 Posts Apr 4, 2013 Wow, it was so competitive this year if the average GPA was a 3.9! I doubt I made the cut either.
