Hi i wanted to know who applied For Ju in the fall 2010

or have been accepted to the program is it a god program over there

thank you i appled and i got a interview in the next 2 weeks

This was my ending GPA, but I have a few friends where their GPA was 4.0, and they still were not admitted.

hmm, do you think thats because their interview was not so good or something?

[waitingtobeanurse]

I am not sure, since nobody really knew what they were looking for in the interview process. There are no right or wrong answers in the interview. I was shocked that they were not selected as much as they were, so who knows. I made a mistake in my previous post, the grant is FRAG.

I dont know if all admissions interviews were like this but I was interviewed with my competition, they were fresh out of high school with not much life experiences yet. Also they wore flip flops and spaghetti strap shirts to the interview!!!!! I think they were looking for people serious and determined to get into the program, my GPA wasnt as high as most others but I NAILED my interview! Even the other girls said I did a great job lol! Also I transferred and I live in GA, I thought they would pick FL residents over out of state commuter students but it all worked out in the end. Just try and Im sure you will do great!!! Yes I agree with you about FSCJ they are virtually impossible to get into now!

Waiting-About how much is the FRAG grant? Just out of curiosity.

A- Im so glad everything worked out for you. Were the questions pretty straight forward? Im getting a little frustrated w/ FSCJ and Im really changing my mind about that program. Im very interested in JU, just a little worried about the tuition:eek:

[AmnaCia]

Yes the were pretty easy, like what are your strengths and weaknesses? Also why doyou want to be a nurse, things like that also at the end I asked my interviewer questions about what she likes about nursing and that rolled into a conversation!! I am extreemly worried about their tuition, I got the fall all set but am working my but off saving up for the spring term:twocents:! But on a positive note all these hurtles are a good thing to go through and in the end one day we will all be nurses!

Thats good to know! Im getting pretty excited.Im usually pretty good at essay/interview type questions so that doesnt worry me too much I really hope I can get some grants/scholarships to help pay for it. I HATE the idea of getting anymore student loans. Hopefully God will guide me in the right direction and if its meant to be, everything will fall into place

Hello everyone , and congrats waitingtobeanurse for the acceptance , I was away for 1 week vacation , now I'm back and looking forward to next week to start school :)

Since JU is a private university , so the cost is pretty expensive , but good things are that they offer a 7grands scholarship to pretty much everybody , and you will also be able to receive financial aid , I would say your student loan will come out around 4 grands per semester , thats not so bad considering it's private :)

Hey everyone, congrats to all who made it into the JU nursing program. yeah!!! Anyways, I have a question. I used to live in JAX about 3 yrs ago but now im currently reside in cali. so i was wondering if any of you are out of state( florida) applicants applying to the program? b/c i thinkinng of moving back there and apply to the program, but what is the chance that they will take me in the program as an out of state student since i would have to wait for a yr to become a florida resident again. Also, from the time of application to the interview, did any of you have to wait long like for half or to a year? My school in cali has a one yr waiting list for the program and i really want to finish it all off to move back to fl. hope u all can help me answer these questions. thanks alot!
