Summer 2017- Concurrent UCF/SSC

kristyjo13 · Jan 21, 2017

Hi,

I have also applied for the summer 2017 concurrent UCF/SSC nursing program. I feel like I'm checking my application status and email every chance I get. I wasn't ready for the Teas test so I was going to wait and apply in April, but I figured I'd just take it, apply, and see what happened. I took the Teas 2 days before the application deadline, scored an 82.7 which I wasn't happy with but kind of expected due to lack of studying. My Cum GPA is only a 3.3, Science prereq 4.0. non-science prereq 3.75. My earlier college days left me with a GPA that had nowhere to go but up....lol Wishing now I had taken it more seriously in the beginning, but I lacked motivation because I didn't really know what or who I wanted to be when I grew up. Since returning to my college career as a grown up I've worked my tail off trying to get my GPA up enough just to be eligible to apply, so my 3.3 is much higher in my eyes. I wish it were my eyes reviewing the applications. The stats on the UCF page seem lower for summer than spring and fall so I'm hoping that works to my advantage. I keep saying that I don't have my hopes up, but secretly I do....I so want to get it!!! I have worked so hard to be able to submit my application and I know that you can relate. Good luck to everyone!!!

p.s. 6-8 weeks just seems like punishment.... especially since it's only been a week.

Impatiently waiting..................

Hi!

I also applied for the 2017 summer term! Just like Kristyjo13, I've been checking my email and status pretty much every day since I submitted my app! I have a 3.4 cum GPA, a 3.5 prereq at SSC, a 3.3 science prereq at UCF, and a 4.0 non-science prereq at UCF. For my TEAS, I scored an 89% which is in the 98th percentile, so I'm hoping that helps me out a bit! I'm also currently taking Diet Analysis, the 1 credit prereq you have to take if you didn't take Nutrition at SSC or UCF, so that counts as an outstanding prereq unfortunately :/ I had everything else completed on time so I just figured that I would apply for this term and see what happens! If I don't get in for summer I plan on reapplying for the fall term, so hopefully I'll get in eventually! I can't wait for these next few weeks to go by!

Good luck everyone! I am

almost done with my AA, but I want to apply for AS degree this Spring for Fall, it's just too much to handle already with an associate. Then later one I can always come back for Bachelors :yes:

Today I received a preliminary denial email from UCF. It said that I do not meet the GPA requirement. I have been trying to get my final transcript evauluated since Jan 3rd, without my last two A's and grade forgiveness doesn't apply. They gave me a week from the denial to remedy the situation. I called admissions today and she said she updated it while she was on the phone with me. If it was that easy then why didn't they fix it the other times I called? My knights audit hasn't updated yet, but I'm hoping it will over night tonight. Fingers crossed. Good luck everyone

Don't lose hopes, Kristy!

I had a really hard time getting them to evaluate my last transcript too, but I just kept calling and emailing them repeatedly until it was finally done! If you don't see it changed on your myknight audit by tomorrow, you should give them another call and say that you spoke to them the other day and they said they had already done it, but it's still not showing up on your end! Just keep bothering them, and they will make sure to get it done on time for you! Good luck! I hope it ends up working out for you!!!

wow, I hope it gets fixed!

I ran into an issue too but it was fixed before receiving a denial letter.. I applied to start Spring 2017 instead of Summer 2017 I was freaking out. After a few phone calls I got it fixed though. Good luck to you!

What a coincidence!Me too,I applied for Spring instead of Summer, tried to call to change it, but never had a luck to speak to anyone about it, they kept transferring me over and over to a different line, and i just gave up being on hold forever! Hopefully it won't be an issue if I want to apply later, if i decide to.

I applied! I met with the SSC nursing advisor and she said 120 applied and they are accepting 80ish. She said she still had a LONG way to go. So I think we are waiting another two weeks or so I check every day!
