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.
Interviews for basic are out. Since those of us that applied to basic haven't gotten one, maybe it's because we got in and won't need that interview! Oh, I wish our emails would come already!
why oh why would they send out basic invites before our letters!?!?!? That makes no sense and goes against what they told us. There has to be a logical explanation for this delay right??? Ugh. I got an e-mail a min ago and my heart jumped when the inbox changed... but it was from the bank LOL
Exactly. I applied to both and hoped I would get fair, independent consideration for both programs. I heard the basic is harder to get into, with about 600 applicants or more each year.
I heard that too but I think those of us with degrees have a better chance in basic than the average 19 year old applicant as well. I was the only one in my interview group that applied for both. Thought that was weird. The one guy didn't even know he could have!?!? I am going to stick with not getting a basic e-mail means we got in accelerated. Cause surely some of us would have a chance at basic if we didn't get accelerated. there are over 40 people watching this page right now!

There was only 5 people out of the 25 for my interview slot that applied to both and I was surprised too!!!
