Santa Fe College ASN Fall 2016 Hopefuls

Published

Hello everyone, I think I'm making this forum a bit early since the deadline for Fall 2016 is sometime after the Spring 2016 semester. In any case if you all weren't aware they have made some pretty drastic changes to the selection point system. They have basically gone down from a max of 90 points to a max of 76 points. Volunteer hours have been cut out completely and the points for the test scores have been reduced to 6 instead of the old 10. Maybe some you guys can chime in with the points you have/expect. I heard people were getting in with 60 points using the old system. If we applied the same ratio to the new system that would be approximately 51 out of 76 points for acceptance. I should have around 56 points at the application assuming I make an A in one of my two prereqs next semester. Anything to add?

I wonder if the rest of us will hear the news today as well. Perhaps they notify the highest earning point applicants first. I'm BITING MY NAILS HERE.

I got accepted, too!

I, also, had 56 points.

Check your SF email, as that is where they are sending it, now. Mine is also forwarded to my regular email, so I don't miss anything.

As a side note, if you can get to either St. Pete or Jax for about 6 weeks, they have the CNA programs, and Santa Fe accepted mine for points. I took it in St. Pete, and it was super easy, and the instructors were great. It was about a 5 and a half week program, full time (M-F). There are scholarships available, I think based on income, so it was pretty cheap.

Make sure to check FL BON's website for approved certification courses. Red Cross is one (but -their- CPR course really isn't accepted anywhere, as they all want American Heart, so keep that in mind).

I put the connection together when I was halfway home: we're in A&P together, if I'm correct. :) I'm Jayne; I was at your lab table today (I'm the one that asked about your notification).

Ohhhhh, lmao okay XD

Santa Fe is a small place.

Yup. And it's about to get a whole lot smaller, lol

Thank you! That is so nice of you. I'm a first time applicant and I think I have 46 points. I scored well on Kaplan and have a previous degree. I also took some of the classes required for the program. Nutrition, Dev psych, and one more I can't recall. Also, I took statistics. Is statistics required for the bridge to BSN?? Just wondering if anyone knows. But if I don't get accepted this fall, I am really hoping I can get accepted Spring. :-)

Don't mention it :) you definitely need stats for the bridge, also, if you don't get accepted don't lose hope. Just try and gain more points and reapply, you stand a much better chance mathematically just for reapplying. Let us know what happens and take care!
