Hello everyone. I'm new to allnurses.com and I just wanted to say congrats to those who got into the 2012 UCF nursing program this summer.

I am a prenursing student at UCF as I am still working on a few prerequisites before I apply to CON.

Seeing you all on here, all going through the things I'll be going through next spring makes me feel better about this whole process.

Good luck to everyone!!! Strap in! It's going to be one kind of a ride from what I've heard.

Is there anyone out there who is planning on applying to accelerated program (ABSN) that starts in summer 2013? I'm starting this thread in hopes of finding many of you who wouldn't mind going through this somewhat stressful process together! :)

I am very excited and hopeful that I'll be accepted next year. I already have a bachelor's degree in finance and investments so my #1 choice is the accelerated route, however I will also apply to the basic program as a back up option, which will start in the fall of 2013.

Anyone has taken TEAS yet? I took it in spring semester and scored 82. My overall GPA is 3.90 and prerequisite GPA 4.0 so far. I still have 4 prerequisites to complete. Should I retake the TEAS? I heard that scoring 90 or above makes you really competitive.

Thanks for all of your responses.

Best of luck!!!

It wasn't that bad. The panelists were very approachable and smiling, and all of the candidates in my group did a great job.

Good luck everyone. :)

I agree! Honestly I thought all 5 of us in my group had solid answers on everything. Tuesday is the big day for the APG committee now. Imagine being a fly on the wall in that room.

Haha. Heck! I could even be a cockroach for all I know. Lol

I'm more tense now then I was before the interview.

Can't wait until this torturous waiting is over!!

I'm so ready for this challenge!!

I was told they expect to use half of wednesday too because they go through every file of interviewees as the whole committee. They compare all our grades, teas, and interview scores. So we won't hear probably until thursday. I wish we knew how they scored the interview. I can't even guess and how much weight does what part have? I'm hoping that enough of the interviews were just terrible and they put a big x on their scantron :) And of course that I was not one of those LOL Who were the faculty you had? I had Dr. Heglund, Dr. Hennig, and Ms. Leli.

I am so nervous for next week! I keep over-thinking the interviews and it's making me so anxious! I think I did ok, but there was one girl in the room that was very outspoken and talked a lot and I am worried she overshadowed us. Or maybe they didn't like that at all? Haha...I can hope :)

I want to know how the scoring will turn out on the scantrons...

I'd comment on who our interviewers were but IAW AN's TOS, that is a no-no here apparently. :o

I liked the interview in the sense that I got to meet two faculty members and a community representative. That was a good way to interact with them and do a tiny bit of marketing.

Hopefully I'll see them again soon!

What does that even mean?? Why would we not be able to say who interviewed us??

That is funny! Cause your title says UCF right in it, toally giving away our program! Oh well! Note to moderator, edit the names out of my earlier post please!

So. This is the week. I think I'm more anxious now than waiting on that interview invite.
