JU Jacksonville University ABSN summer 2019

Published

Hey everyone,

I recently had my interview and I’m just anxiously waiting until March 8th when decisions come out. I saw that no one made a page for summer 2019 so I decided to make one and hope others see this!

I’m thinking about applying to this program next year and was just wondering if anyone knew how competitive it is, since this thread is for the current year. Just wondering cuz I know most Nursing schools want really high GPA’S, my GPA isn’t the most competitive.

Hey! In terms of competitive wise, I can’t give you an exact answer because I actually didn’t want to know how many student were applying to the nursing programs that I was applying for....for whatever reason, when I know the specific numbers it makes me more nervous lol but after I got accepted I believe a student said approximately 150 or 160 got interviews & 41 got accepted (I believe). As for your GPA- DON’T let your grades scare you away from having an opportunity! I personally have a high 3.3 or a 3.4 exact & got interviews for all the programs I applied to. Grades are important to a certain extent but what you put in your PERSONAL ESSAY is MUCH more important. Schools want to see that you actually took your time on the essay & put true effort, have great experiences (clinical/non clinical), etc. I wish you the best of luck! ?

Hey! I’m still undecided since I have one more interview to go in April & I get the results for another program back in the beginning of April. IF I do not get accepted into these two schools, i’ll Accept JU’s offer. However, if I end up getting accepted into one of these programs, I will not be attending JU. The two other programs are in my home state, so it would be more convenient ?

Have you heard back from your other schools yet? I’m still on the waitlist so I’m just trying to see if I have any opportunity yet of moving up or getting in.. let me know. If you did congrats

Hey everyone,

I was recently pulled off the waitlist and am super excited to be starting on the upcoming weeks. I’ll be moving from MD, and am looking to move down during the weekend of May 3. I look forward to meeting everyone and working to start and finish this program with flying colors!!!

Guys, I have a question....once our classes start for this program do we have to maintain a 3.0GPA throughout the program or a 2.0? Every school is different. For some schools, as long as you have C’s in all your classes then that’s considered passing. Whereas some other schools require a B in each class as passing

I believe it’s 3.0 but not sure. I have a couple friends in the program and believe that’s what they said. Congrats on taking JU. Maybe I’ll get into the traditional program.

Omg, I meant to post this on a different forum- I’m so sorry ??‍♀️??‍♀️ I still haven’t informed JU yet because my fam said to make sure that I’ve 100% secured my spot for the other program....so, you may totally still have a chance!!

Yea I’m mean they say they can call right before class starts. I’m not worried it is what it is. If I don’t hear anything my application is still in for traditional. I got accepted to another school, it’s just after reading into I just can’t accept.

Hey guys! I decided to not accept my seat today for this nursing program. I’m interested to see if anyone in this forum that’s on the waitlist will be getting my spot. Let me know if you do!!! I’m really hoping one of y’all does ??????
