    Michele- It does not matter at all when you turn your application in, as long as it is in by the due date. The cutoff for Aug was May 15th, and I turned mine in on May 8th, and I got in with 12 pts....

    GabbsRN replied to Kimmyann0527's topic in Florida Nursing

    14 pts should be plenty! I got in for Aug with 12, and I think the cutoff was around 8 or 9. I know some who had 8 pts and were put on the alternate list and got in, so don't worry. I'm surprised...

    How long does the background check take until its no longer "in process"? As far as if its due by the 6th or not, I don't have a clue. I would think that they would want the results by then because...

    When did you apply, Coolie? I had my FAFSA done several months ago and my financial aid award showed up on my financial aid award page a week or two ago. If you applied later, it may take some time....
