My roommate is in the program now, and he gets all his placements and preceptors assigned to him. You don't need to find your own. :)

I just got my acceptance today too (Stratford campus)! I already decided to go to Jefferson for their FACT program though, and paid my deposit a week ago. Congrats to everyone else! :)

Hello Everyone! I originally applied for APW, but then decided to switch to FACT! I don't know of a facebook page being started, but I heard about the accepted students reception from a friend. Looking forward to meeting everyone! My roommate is finishing up FACT this May, so I know it'll be intense!

Yeah it IS a lot of money. At first I thought, wow okay $30 for my second designation on NursingCAS isn't too bad-- and then I realized I had to pay $75 for that BLS class! So much for the money I got back from selling my textbooks, haha. NursingCAS didn't send me any updates. I just checked that they received my transcripts, and when my GPA was calculated I figured that they were verified. They were surprisingly fast with me! The day after I updated my Coursework with my Fall grades-- since they had already gotten my transcript in the mail--my GPA was updated. I don't know how else I would know everything went through.

I am also in the process of applying to this program! One of the tricky things I just noticed was that we need to submit proof of our BLS certification directly to the school. Luckily a hospital near me offers courses for it three times a week ($75 each! so pricey), so I quickly signed up for one next week. I finished all of my NursingCAS stuff and my transcripts have been verified by them already-- so I should be submitting my application soon! Best of luck to everyone :)

Hey all! I am also probably applying to UF for their ABSN in 2013. I graduated almost three years ago and have been living in Philadelphia all this time. My undergrad degree in Anthropology was done at UF and my cGPA was a 3.39, not really sure how to calculate the upper division stuff. I don't know if they just look at junior/senior level course pre-fix numbers, or just your last two years. Plus I graduated a semester early! For their pre-requisites, I have all As in Anatomy & Physiology I & II, Developmental Psychology, and a B+ in Statistics. I think I can easily get an A in Nutrition this coming Fall, and hopefully can pull off an A in Microbiology at the same time. I have been taking courses at a community college in Philadelphia, been volunteering as a medical interpreter at a free clinic for 2+ years, plus volunteering in the past at Shands and another hospital in Philly, and served a year as an AmeriCorps VISTA. I'm not really sure how all these extra things factor in, since UF has always struck me as a very numbers oriented school. I am planning to take the GRE in the next few months, so hopefully I can pull a good score! :)
