I assume after March 18th we will be sent more stuff in the mail. That's probably when ISIS will show changes because until we confirm the acceptance nothing is "set in stone." I both faxed and mailed my confirmation just to be sure it got there!

Sure enough, I did! I also got into UF's ABSN program. I ultimately chose UF mainly because I already live in Gainesville and the tuition is about half of what JU charges. I'm glad to hear I was chosing between two excellent programs!

Yep, already there.

On the Wednesday before the interview I received an acceptance letter from UF's accelerated program! So, I declined the interview. That's one less UNF applicant for someone to compete with!

See you at UF!

I received my JU acceptance letter yesterday, however, I was accepted by UF (and I live in Gainesville) so I will be declining JU's offer. That's good news for someone on the waitlist!

After all my freaking out . . . I was accepted! This is so exciting! Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Way to go Nettegator! I hope tomorrow I can say we are classmates! I'm looking forward to a thick envelope.... nothing came in today. A multi-page rejection letter would just be cruel and unusual.

I'm a Gainesvillian. Haven't received anything yet. I'm veeeery excited for my shift to end so I can go check my mailbox! I've read that in previous years the acceptance letters were accompanied by a personal phone call. So, has anyone had a call? Weird that the letter came in a regular envelope. I would have thought it would be a large 8x11 envelope.

Yes, I did good too so I hope they use something like that. I'm guessing it at least shows what they prioritize. By the way . . . it's March!!!

ddl77, I agree. It's not over til it's over. But it doesn't hurt to multiple back-up plans! Nettegator, thanks for posting the link. That's where I found the petition form, too. GatorLove, yep there's a score sheet. I think it gives us a good insight into the decision process.

I still don't exist on ISIS beyond a log-in name. Hmmmm If I wasn't accepted I'm going to write a petition because I believe that with my stats I'm worthy of a second look. Interestingly the petition form has questions on it that they don't ask during the normal application process. It reads almost like an interview. There is a second page to the petition form that is a list of items that the petitioner can be scored for. You get points for things such as related work experience and prerequisite course grades. Question to anyone who's done this before: am I supposed to score myself or does the faculty do this? When I score myself I come up with 24 out of 25 possible points. But some of the items are rather subjective, such as " written statement reflects organization and clarity of thought." I going ahead with the essay section of the petition so I'll be ready to respond if I'm not accepted.

The waiting game is almost over! Regardless of the outcome we all want to know as soon as possible so we can get out affairs in order . . . quit jobs, move, etc.

My registration prep shows "record not found." There is no registration date. If I check Admissions it still says I have no active applications, just like it did throughout the entire process. Eh, there's still time.

If your numbers are indeed right then I'm in a good position. I'll take any shread of encouragement I can get! I'm not sure what my GPA is for my 60 most recent credits, but my last BS GPA was 3.8. My pre-req GPA is 4.0 and that ain't too shabby. On the GRE I scored 164V 151Q. I don't even remember if it was 164 or 165 for verbal . . . feels like it was years ago but it has only been a few months. I pretty much bombed the writing section, however. I didn't study for it at all. UF says they don't count your GRE writing score yet they clearly asked for it on the application. I was told it was optional but maybe they mean it is optional in the sense that applying to the program is optional. Sure, you don't have to apply and you also don't have to be a nurse; it is optional!
