FSW Fall 2015

woooosahhhhh : )

I have had two calls from 239 and havent been able to pick up. No message. Too chicken to call back. Im guessing if it was FSW, they would leave message but still...talk about nerve wrecking.

I talked with the head ppl at Lee and Charlotte today. They said to relax. Between all 3 campus, there are 300 applicants. 48 seats for lee full and part time. Charlotte and Collier have 24 seats. She informed me that due to such a large number this round, they have not even met yet. Tuesday morning they will meet and make their choices. They expect to begin emailing applicants with 1 of 3 letters. 1st letter is to say the application was denied, normally due to low GPA and below a 74% on Hesi. 2nd letter, sorry but there were more applicants than room and to reapply and 3rd, background and drug test information. Based on those emails (no calls will be made) you should know between Wednesday and Friday of next week. You HAD 3 choices, if you only chose one, and someone had a higher QP score, you will not be a candidate for any other school options. I had a Hesi of 85% GPA of 3.5 and all pre-req's completed. This leaves me with a total of 74. Keep in mind, they look mainly at your QP score. No one is accepted until the background and drug tests are completed. This is where the extra room will apply. Hope that helps everyone. Now we can rest with checking our emails (FYI..it will only be sent to your bucs email), at least in till next Wednesday. She also implied, everyone will be notified within 10 business days (from Tuesday)

Sorry, forgot to add: if you have say a QP of 80 and you choose Lee night as number 1and Lee day as #2... if someone with 79 QP chose Lee day as #1 and Lee night as #2, the person with 79 would get into their number 1 choice over your #1..Sorry if this confuses you

@Kat84 - Why would they chose a 79 over an 80? That is confusing, but thanks for all the information!! :)

It's all about your choice and QP....so the person with a 79 would get into their number 1(say day program) because the person with the QP of 80 chose night program as their number 1 and day as number 2.....that was just a for instance.....I'm quit sure there would be many others with an 80 and a day/night option as well....just depends on your QP score and your choices

Kat84,

Thank you for sharing all of that wonderful information. I was especially curious about your second post as I noticed in previous threads they mentioned how some people with lower scores than them got in but they did not. That now makes sense. Good luck! I hope to see you post if you get in! :)

Lol, I'm hoping to Post I got in!! :-)

hello everyone!

I have also applied for the nursing program at FSW. Glad to hear that we should know something by next week. Wish you all the best of luck!!!

@Charschaal2

I had a similar issue, I graduated from another college. Only 1/2 of my credit was accepted, so I had to retake many of the same classes. The head honchos told me that they will take the higher score of any duplicated classes! Hope that makes you feel better. So yes, you would have the higher score

It's all about your choice and QP....so the person with a 79 would get into their number 1(say day program) because the person with the QP of 80 chose night program as their number 1 and day as number 2.....that was just a for instance.....I'm quit sure there would be many others with an 80 and a day/night option as well....just depends on your QP score and your choices

kat84 so there isn't a chance to get your 2nd choice with the high amount of applicants? If any application score is accepted to the first choice as long as there is room lets say the lowest being 50 a higher application score of 88 wont stand a chance on it's second pick? The only way anyone will be considered for their second or third choice is if there wasn't enough first choice applicants for that program. That's the way I'm understanding it.

@safety Sam

Not exactly. The QP points have to be close. So an 80 and a 50 would be put in different "baskets". Here's how it was explained to me....basically, day lee first choice in one basket, all night Lee in another, all Charlotte and Collier 1st picks in another.....then they move on to second pick.....place all applications in their baskets and so on....the 3 schools get together and weed out those who will receive the denial email.....They are left with the rest..next they take a basket (1st choice day lee) and sort through the scores, all 90's ,80's 70's ECT. They do the same for all 4 options......then they go through and pick highest scores..for example...if you picked Lee night with a 95+ (u would be placed in a special yes for now area) they would move all lower applications into 2nd choice school baskets and go through highest QP points until all applications are sorted through. This Is why your QP score and choices are so important. Lee campus has the most seats but is also the most competitive. Lee night is hardest due to ppl working, having kids, etc. Lee day is second hardest, then Charlotte and finally collier. This confusion is the exact reason why no one wants to talk and tell us the route they take...in my own opinion I think it should be based on GPA and other credentials
