UCF ABSN 2021

I haven't seen a thread for this application cycle yet, so thought I'd start one.

Lowkey regret taking all my prereqs at FSU. It was so much harder! I retook a course and it was an easy A at the community college near me ? I hope they don’t see an applicant differently if they retook a course. The professor at FSU legit wants to fail everybody. Just for an idea: one time the average on an exam was 53. He legit said “I was GOING to curve this exam but the average was higher than I wanted, so I’m not going too” like.. I’m convinced I would have had a 4.0 if not for that professor. I had to take 4 prereq courses with that same professor and the only A’s I didn't get throughout my whole bachelors was his courses. Horrible

Hi everyone!

I am worried, I still don't have the prereq green check marks, what did you all do to follow up? Thank you so much for your time and would love to hear back from you all!

I checked just now and mine is still pending the pre-req courses too. I emailed the advisor's email a few posts back (I don't want to say the name in case it violates Allnurses.com privacy). A few hours later I got an email back saying they just processed my transcripts from Fall 2020 that day and should see a change in 24-48 hours. 

Oddly enough, I haven't seen an update to my application portal. I submitted my application on the 11th right after I took my TEAS. I'm a little nervous and will probably email next week in February if I don't see any changes. If anyone else has an update, feel free to share. I hope this gets resolved for everyone!

Mind is pending verification too. I emailed an advisor from the nursing school that has been helping me through the whole prerequisite/admissions process, and she said not to worry. She said the admissions process takes 6-8 weeks and “The Admissions Specialist individually checks each student's admission status, TEAS, GPA and prerequisites.” 
 

I wouldn’t worry about it too much even though it’s giving me anxiety too! 

Also, as long as your transcripts show up in your MyKnightAudit and on the transfer credit report (on my.ucf.edu) you should be good to go.

Update: just got all 4 green check marks this afternoon. Yay!

Thank you for sharing this information! This is the first time I'm navigating myUCF so this was very helpful. I don't really know what I'm looking at when I view the audit. For some reason it says that I have not satisfied the Gordon Rule pre-reqs. I am wondering if it is because I need to send in additional AP scores... I will email the advisor. Hopefully I still have time to correct this.

I see that all of my pre-reqs are showing up on the transfer credit report, so that makes me less anxious.

Yay I finally got all 4 check marks today! For reference I applied on January 1st ?

Anyone having issues fitting everything into one page for the Helene Fund scholarship essay?

Yeah mine was a bit longer than one page. I couldn’t shorten it anymore! I had said everything I wanted to say super straightforward too! But we shall see. Did anybody else apply for fall today?

[pollar1, BSN]

I also had so much trouble fitting everything into 1 page. I ultimately cut it down to only 1 because that it was it asked for and I didn't want to be penalized, but those are such important questions, I feel like I barely wrote 3 sentences in response to each question!

[Futurenursedreams]

Do you guys all have the word “eligible”? Mine has all green check marks but still has “under review”

[Su-Lin]

Can anyone tell me how many pages their resume is? I've never made one and I am not sure if I am supposed to fit everything on one page or not. Thank you in advance.
