hey hopeful44! no I didn't hold a job and did minimal non-health related volunteering. My roommate who did get in told me that they mostly looked at gpa and also your personal statement on the application. That's all I really know. I'm not even sure how many were waitlisted. Sorry, I wish I knew more! Best of luck to you and everyone else (:

Hi everyone! I'm a current UF student who is actually reapplying for admission this year. I applied last year (2010) and was waitlisted, and (when no one dropped their spots) rejected. I had a 3.58 overall and a little higher than that for prereqs. My roommate got in last year with a 3.6 and 3.9ish on prereqs (she had switched after 2 years of pre-med). According to the nursing advisor, it was a very competitive year last year, with the avg overall GPA being close to a 3.7-3.8. I definitely recommend having a back-up plan. I didn't have one, so it put me back a year and I ended up changing my major to stay at UF as a full-time student. This year, I applied to other nursing schools (UCF & FGCU) and was accepted to both for Fall 2011. Now I'm just waiting until June to hear back from UF! I'd absolutely hate to leave Gainesville, but I have to move on :)
