UCF 2013 Fall-Orlando generic BSN applicants?

[Katsmeow]

Starting a thread for others applying to this program!

[Katsmeow]

Thank you!

What did you do while you waited to pass the time? Lol

I ordered the anatomy and physiology coloring books off amazon to keep my brain fresh of the material.

Waiting...... -___- Hopefully this 6 weeks goes by quick! My roommate is currently in the BASIC BSN, just started last fall. she said it took exactly 6 weeks for her to hear back! Lets hope its not the full 8 lol. Everybodys Stats?

TEAS- 83.3

OVERALL GPA- about 3.7

PRE REQ GPA - 4.0

Hope my stats make me a good competitor! Good luck everybody!!

Also I have a question, does anybody know, when we hear back with the results, the way they do it is we either have a chance to do an interview, we do the interview, then either get waitlisted or get accepted into the program. I was wondering, when they tell us the results, will it be either, no interview, waitlist, interview, or, we are waitlisted after the interview. Sorry, tried to explain it the best I can haha

Welcome

My stats:

TEAS 84.7

Overall gpa 3.87

Pre-req/science gpa 4.0

We have similar stats. And I believe they will notify us by email if we are invited for the interview. I'm not exactly sure but I think they decide on those provisionally accepted and wait listed after the interviews. I could be wrong.

Hey guys,

I'm applying to both accelerated and basic BSN.

The way they have been doing it so far is:

1. They invite twice as many people as there are available spots in the program. At least that's what's happened in cocoa last fall (56 seats, over 100 interviewed)

Orlando basic accommodates 200 nursing students every recruiting period, however that would mean that they would invite about 400 candidates? Sounds awfully a lot, doesn't it?

2. After interviews, there is period of up to 2 weeks during which they should contact those who were provisionally accepted as well as those who were waitlisted.

Basic program is my second option but I've been following blogs here and there...

Good luck to all!!

We all need it; UCF nursing program has very good ratings statewide and more and more competitive candidates apply to it. It's very obvious from seeing everyone's stats in here.

My stats:

Teas: 86

Overall GPA- 3.91

Prerequisite- 4.0

Best

[Katsmeow]

400 people interviewed in one day???? That sounds like a lot.

[Nursowiczka2b]

That's what I'm thinking. Then again. We don't know how many candidates there really are.

Also, something just occurred to me. Those who apply to both programs that is to accelerated and basic will already be interviewed on march 22 for the accelerated program. I don't think you need two interviews even if you're applying to both programs. So this might bring the number down.

Whatever way they decide to do it they better have a good system. Lol

[Katsmeow]

Haha yeah. But then again they do them in groups so that might help with the large volume of applicants....

[jv713]

Oh wow! Yeah that sounds like it would make sense. I wonder how many people on average apply to the programs each cycle?!

Exciting

[Katsmeow]

Another thing to consider: not everyone that applies has necessarily met the minimum requirements to get in.....

[Nursowiczka2b]

So what you mean is that there are people that apply to the program even though they know it won't get them anywhere.

Now that would be silly to waste time and energy on something like this. Why applying at all then? If you know that you haven't finished your prereqs or didn't get a minimum passing score on Teas.

Unless you meant that they make mistakes filling out their application.

[Katsmeow]

Well both. I've heard of people applying with less than 7 pre-reqs done. Also may be some that didn't submit the background check. and I'm sure a few people made mistakes on their application.

[atyrell]

Yes. I've read about that also on other post. Or what happens is they do all the science pre requisites, but are missing a other one because they didn't read the 7 out of 8 directions carefully. Does anyone know how many applied for this application pool?
