I was waitlisted last year and got in this year. I know exactly how you all feel. It was frustrating because with my GPA and high TEAS score, everyone I spoke to was very confident I would get in. The uncertainty affected me and made me re-think my p...

@indecisive I applied to the concurrent Seminole/UCF program although I am going to the UCF generic program. I know someone in concurrent who is doing great work, seems like a fine school. I know the NCLEX pass rates are pretty high as well. Seems li...

I'm also accepting my seat for the generic BSN at UCF, so I'm out of the running here! Good luck everyone, I'm sure you'll be hearing the results soon :)

I'm non-clinical also at Florida Hospital. I tried to play that up in most questions because I believe I was the only one with any experience working (not just volunteering) in that environment. I hope I came off as genuine because interacting with p...

I hate to bring up such a sad topic, but the terror attacks at the Boston marathon yesterday moved me on a new, extra level. Knowing that I'm soon to start my journey to become a nurse made it feel all the more real that I too will one day be respons...

It's better not to overthink it. I prepared, did my best, and for the rest of the week it's out of my hands. So I'm staying busy and thinking positive. There's enough real stress in the nursing program that we shouldn't burn ourselves out this early ...

When I did the apps on the UCF side I just filled out one application and checked the boxes for both SSC and VCC. Then a specific app for each school.

Hope you all get your applications sorted out! Applying to two schools for one program can be very complicated! I discovered that I had to send my official TEAS scores to Valencia (SSC will take a copy for their application) so I ordered them to be s...

Forgive me if this is a redundant question, but what is a good amount of time for a response? 1-2 minutes, right? Want to know what to shoot for while practicing.

I agree. I believe more than 10 would be waitlisted, considering 40% of the accelerated applicants were waitlisted. Although I would love for our chances to be that high!

I'm also applying to both of these programs as well as the Basic UCF (my first choice). I was 91 over at the Altamonte campus! I'm applying to VC as soon as I figure out my stupid Atlas login

Leah, I also got the 1:30 time slot! PM'd you :)

I also got an interview! SO excited and nervous now! I'm probably going for a later interview (shooting for 1:30) because I have classes in the morning. I'm going to start writing up mock answers to some generic questions they may ask ("Why do you wa...

If they keep up regular trends, emails will come out on Fridays :) It's not 100% for sure, but it helps me stress a little bit less during the week!

I applied the first day the application opened so the wait's been a little extra longer for me! I'm also ready to apply to the Seminole concurrent program when that opens. Fingers crossed :) Hope to hear about interviews soon.

Phew- glad to know I'm not the only one with the incomplete section under the fingerprinting part. Please do tell what they say, because I emailed and never heard back about it! I got a 92% on the TEAS by focusing on some basic science (chem, bio, et...

Hi MamaKate! Thanks so much, I hope it works out :) I chose nursing because I always knew I wanted to be in the health field. My mom is a nurse practitioner, and my dad is a respiratory therapist. I volunteered in a hospital in high school and I work...

I hope interviews serve their intended purpose! It's a little frustrating knowing that I've been waitlisted twice and that there are people who drop the program mid-semester for silly reasons. I was waitlisted for the SSC concurrent program starting ...

No call here either. A friend of mine who started this Fall said that a few of his class got in off the waitlist, but each semester is different :/ Anyone look into applying to UCF in Fall yet? Not to go off topic, but it appears they are doing inter...

I checked back on the email and found this: "[COLOR=black]Alternates may be notified of any available seats through January 3, 2013." Stay positive everyone :) I know I'm hoping to start this program in Spring, but if not that I will look into comp...

The encouragement is much appreciated! :) At this point I have had to look into my backup plans, but the more I look the more I realize nursing is what I want, and I'll continue working for it! Hope I'm lucky as you to get off the waitlist!

Hi! I was also waitlisted. I applied with a 3.7 overall, 3.4 prereq, 92% teas. Finished my last prereq Spring 2011. I was feeling decently confident, but this must have been a competitive application pool! They should only now know how many potential...

Not me, but I finally received my waitlist confirmation after contacting Austin. Step in the right direction I guess! But it's still really early, people have gotten in just weeks before the start of the Fall semester :)

Don't believe so. I'm almost certain it's a deadline system and not a first-come system, so those who don't reply at all will simply be removed, and the rest of us moved up. But someone feel free to confirm/correct that if you know anything.

Faxed RSVP Monday, emailed Judy yesterday, no response today. I decided to email it, so hopefully I'll be getting the confirmation soon :) Good to see everyone getting excited!
