I wanted to start an offical thread for those applying to UF's accelerated BSN for the Summer of 2021! I know its still pretty early but I thought we could use this platform to support one another and share our own journeys through this process.
I am pretty nervous for this process. However, UF's hollistic approach toward each of its applicants gives me hope and reassurance.
Just a little about myself
I am currently finishing my last semester at USF. My last 60 hr credit GPA is pretty average as per UF's usual standards standing at about a 3.4. My cumulative is not too great so hopefully I am not penalized for having a low overall GPA. I have research experience and a publication to my name so hopefully that may hold some weight. Besides that, I have a lot of various volunteer experiences that are non-health care related.
I was specifically curious to know how much weight health care experience holds for admissions. I worked as a scribe for about one year where I was able to gain perspective into the nursing field eventually influencing my decision to pursue nursing. Besides that, I don't really have very much experience working directly with nurses or CNA's for that matter.
I was also curious to know more about the HESI A2 test if anyone knows more about that.
I would love to hear about everyone elses stats and experiences, how you are going about the admissions process in general.
Do you guys think that since they're letting us know later, then they'll push back the start date?
Absolutely not. The course schedule is already made. They will push back the date that we have to accept admission and the date we have to make a deposit, but they can’t change course dates.
I’m a 100% positive they won’t. Because they never gave us an exact date when they will release the results, and even in that case, start date won’t be moved.
Agreed ?

I understand, things come up. They may not have been able to complete it on time. But I agree. We’ve been told last Friday or this Friday. If decisions aren’t going out today, we should have been given a heads up and be kept in the loop as far time tables. But then again, they said the end of Feb, beginning of March. It’s still the beginning of March. We’ve been basing our assumptions on what’s happened in the past. I guess things have changed.
You’re right, but this is just not right because last Friday they said we’ll know by this Friday, ugh, my stress level.... ?
I’m so upset at everything. Regardless of us making assumptions about the past, there has been absolute zero communication since the first email we received back in January. So many of us have to make living arrangements and it just sucks that we have to sit and wait week by week, being anxious the entire time. I wish they would have kept us in the loop.

I'm happy as long as they push back the acceptance date. I know that it really sucks for other people who have to sublease or find housing. I'm a military wife, so these circumstances are something that we deal with on a yearly basis (waiting for advancement results to come out) or every four years (waiting to find out what are next duty station will be and when we can leave). Being a military wife has kind of made me immune to the anxiety of these situations...but it would be nice to know so I can celebrate...or not. ?

Wish I had your attitude right about now LOL ?

I know, that’s what really gets me the most is having to wait yet another week to find out. ?
