With application docs! I got my advisor to fill it out

Facing this same dilemma and looking for more insight?

Hey! I'm in a similar situation, deciding between UNF and UF! I have to confirm or deny acceptance for UF by tomorrow and I'm still torn. Have you learned anything about UNF? I've had a hard time finding former students online, but the one concern I had from my research was that their NCLEX pass rate declined a little the past two years. I know they were doing online school during covid, but still. I'd like to know more about their reputation before deciding

I got my acceptance for Jax! Definitely did not expect it!

Hi! Anxiously waiting to hear something, too! I got an email last month that I had calculated my GPA wrong but that the admissions committee decided to still consider me. I don't know how to take that, but I'm guessing the fact that I took all of my prereqs post grad had something to do with it. My undergraduate degree was subpar, but that's what trudging through an engineering degree you have no interest in will get you. (The general slogan of my program was "C's get PE's!”) I got all A's in my prereqs, minus the very first class I took where I was learning how to balance school and a demanding job. If I don't get in anywhere this round, I plan to retake it, but I did the calculations and it only marginally boosted my GPA. I found the essays relatively easy, and I wrote straight from the heart. I was able to relate to a lot of the questions based on my job experience and volunteering. I'm pretty actively involved with various marginalized groups, which is where my passion lies, so I tried to show how that translates to nursing. I've also 'been through a lot', which undoubtedly shaped my viewpoints. For my letters of recommendation, I had my human development professor write one for me because, of my prereqs, I feel like the format of the class allowed the most interaction and wasn't just "a+b=c". My other letter of recommendation was written by a critical care nurse/CRNA student. I wasn't sure what they wanted out of a personal letter of recommendation, but I figured someone who is in an intense grad program would know what makes someone successful in the field. Anyway, if I don't get in this round anywhere, I'll try again. Besides retaking the class I didn't do great in, if anyone has any suggestions or insight, I'd love them!
