I called College of Nursing today about the Valencia concurrent program and was told acceptance letters will be emailed in mid June. :)

Don't neglect the UCF-Seminole State concurrent program. :) You get your RN from Seminole while taking classes online with UCF, so you graduate from UCF with a BSN at the end of the program.

Judy gives me a headache. She hasn't responded to any of my emails, so good luck getting any answers. :) Last Friday she sent out an email that said all the packets would be mailed that day. I think she sent them out in alphabetical order. My last name starts with S and I received mine on Friday.

I don't know about other schools but I know about the University of Central Florida BSN program. I was accepted with a 3.90 pre-requisite course GPA, a 3.32 overall GPA, 83 TEAs score. My friend was put on the waitlist with a 3.5 pre-requisite GPA, 3.38 overall GPA, and a 90 on the TEAs. So I think, for us atleast, the TEAs score helps a little but the pre-reqs GPA is most important.

Has anyone heard anything about the Valencia concurrent program? My friend was waitlisted for the ucf basic program and is anxious to get accepted somewhere. It seems that acceptance letters should be sent soon.

For the concurrent and basic program I know that people who have completed all their prereqs by the time they apply have a better chance of being accepted.

I just received my acceptance packet YESTERDAY (Friday 5/18), it took forever and I was pretty certain at one point that I wasn't really accepted. Some of the information in the acceptance packet is a little vague and I'm hesitant to email Judy with a million questions. 1. Do we need to purchase both packages on CertifiedBackground (the UA74 and UA74dt)? It doesn't specifically say. I received information for both, and I know we need a drug test and and the UA74 doesn't include it (I think). 2. On the immunizations form it says flu shot, so do we need a flu shot if we haven't already had one? Because, the 2012-2013 season flu shots aren't readily available right now so whats the point in getting a flu shot for the 2011-2012 season (the strains are different) Thanks!

I too got into the basic program for Fall 2012. I'm pretty sure I just barely made the cut off for acceptance. I had a 3.28 overall GPA, 83 on the TEAs, and a 3.90 prereq GPA (Got 1 B for a stupid A&PII lab) I was 100% prepared to drive my sorry ass to Valencia West every day for the concurrent program there but by some miracle I got into the ucf basic program.
