Ofc!! :) And I was already a UF student when I applied. Unfortunately, that is true. It's not impossible to get accepted as a transfer student - but it's definitely harder. I think UF accepts maybe like 5 transfer students or less per year. This goes for any student but I would suggest having backup plans in mind. For example, in addition to UF, I also applied to USF and UCF nursing as a transfer student. I ended up being rejected from UCF but accepted into USF.

I applied with a 4.0 GPA. However, if you don't have that don't panic! I think the UF nursing minimum is 3.3. I also know of previous students that got into the program and had C's in a few classes. So while it's highly recommended to keep your GPA up, it's also possible to get in without a 4.0. Just remember to be well-rounded and have extra-curriculars to make your application stronger.

Hi guys! I'm a current student at UF Nursing. Unfortunately, there's no "direct" method to get into the program. However, I would highly recommend keeping your GPA as high as you can and being as well-rounded as possible with extracurriculars. The main component of the application is the essays, so I would definitely not procrastinate on those. If you can - get someone to proofread your writing! In terms of the HESI, I mostly just used study books that I bought from Amazon and did a lot of practice questions. I only studied for like 2 weeks (do not that LOL. I think the recommended time is 4-6 weeks) but I CRAMMED. There's no "definite" score you need to get, but try to aim for as high as possible. I ended up getting a 92% on mine.
