UCAN Denver 2020

[Ktonne]

Hi Everyone,

I’m applying to CU Denver accelerated BSN for the January 2020 program start. I wanted to see if anyone else is applying or has applied, and if anyone has any tips or suggestions. Or if anyone is currently in the program I’d love to hear all about it! I know it’s super competitive and I don’t know what my chances are... fingers crossed! I’m also applying to Regis University for spring 2020.

About me, I graduated UCSB in 2016 with double major in Communication and Global studies. I’m switching careers to nursing and will be done with all science pre reqs by June. I only have religious studies and Psych left for pre reqs. My undergrad GPA is 3.78 and my pre req GPA should be close to 4.0 (hopefully!) I also have volunteered 100 hours in the ICU. Does anyone know any admissions stats? Would love to hear any information!

And good luck to everyone applying!

Hi everyone! I got an interview invite too and would love to meet up with everyone! @RLDH918 I’m in the same boat distance-wise, I live in Fort Collins and will drive down for the interview but probably get an apartment closer to school if I make it in!

Hello! I received an interview offer as well! Congrats everyone! I would love to meet up if possible, however I am coming from Oregon and likely won't be in town until late in the evening.

Hey everyone! Excited to meet y'all! I'm flying in from Seattle on Wednesday evening. I'd love to meet up with everyone the night before, maybe after dinner since I'm flying from the West coast.

I’m coming from Oregon so I’ll probably get in some time Wednesday night also!

Hi! I am going to interview day at UCAN, flying out of San Diego to Denver the Wednesday before. Does anyone know if the nursing applicants typically stay in the same hotels/ any recommendations?

Hi! I’m flying out of SD on Wednesday too. What flight are you on? I think I’m on frontier air at 11am. And I’m not sure about accommodations, I’ll be staying with a friend.

I'm flying out of SD at 12:55pm with United Airlines! Okay, I know they said they will be sending out more information about interview day on July 15th, so I was wondering if that meant they would give out some suggestions on where to stay. I might just go ahead and book a hotel close to where the interview will be held, since it's short notice.

Hey everyone! I also have received an interview invite, and like many of you I'm flying in from SoCal as well. Super excited to meet you all and go through this process together :).

Hey guys! Is there any official plans to meet up before the interview day?

Hey everyone! I live in Colorado Springs, but would love to get together somewhere in Denver the night before the interview to meet up! I can't wait to meet you all!

One week away!! Let’s all plan to meet the evening of the 24th? Does someone who’s from Denver want to pick a good place?

I live in Denver @Ktonne. What kind of place should we meet up? Coffee shop?Restaurant? Also should we meet up in Denver or closer to the campus? The hotels that were suggested by UC are around the campus which is in Aurora.
