   I can't believe how few people are commenting on this thread. I'm in the class with jv and Katsmeow and both are great resources. We pretty much lived on allnurses for the six months leading up to interviews. If last year is any indication, there are...

   NorthernSongs replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida

   July 15th is the date indicated on the acceptance letter that was an attachment from an email that you probably received on or around May 9th. The letter basically states that you're provisionally accepted and can't begin the program unless you compl...

   According to A***n, the only things that they take into consideration when sending out interview invitations are your GPAs (7/8 prereq and cumulative) and TEAS score. Then they add your interview score. I imagine they look at the amount of time remai...

   It's true. On the UCF College of Nursing website under 'About UCF Nursing' there is a message from the Dean that reads "Soon we will begin planning and fundraising for a new state-of-the-art educational facility in the heart of the medical city at ...

   I got those stats from the information sessions I attended (both advisers) and from a young woman who recently graduated from the BSN program. The 66% came from 120/182. So, assuming you're hovering around the averages and gave a reasonable intervie...

   You'll probably want to have a padfolio with some paper and a pen to jot down some notes. I would definitely leave your phone in the car.

   Accelerated found out one week after interviews, but their program begins soon. We might get lucky and hear something that quickly, but they'll let us know at the interview when the committee meets and on what day to expect emails (assuming that they...

    NorthernSongs replied to Katsmeow's topic in Florida

    Unless you provide the interviewers with a strong case as to why you should never be admitted, then there's really no reason that you wouldn't be wait-listed. I recall hearing at an information session that the mean GPA is around 3.75 or 3.8, which m...

    I'll take the odds of 1.5 out of 2 of getting in.

    PR: 3.83 Cum: 3.84 TEAS: 88.7 Good luck! Hopefully by next February they'll have all of the kinks worked out (background check BEFORE deadline, etc.). I avoided the hassles by taking the approach that I would be accepted...might as well take care of ...

    My dad always said, "there's nothing wrong with being the best-dressed person in the room." Good advice, and it's served me well thus far.

    Did they tell you at your interview that you would have to interview again if you didn't get accepted into the accelerated program?
