Hey all!
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.
Good luck to everyone applying this cycle!
How many of you guys have been admitted to Gainesville??

Thank you so much, I’m praying for you too and for everyone else who hasn’t heard back. ??????

That’s what I think. And I think this inhumane and plain cruel. I can’t believe they would do this to us. I don’t mind being denied, such is life. But being treated with less of a respect then those that got accepted.? and suffer for just a little longer and be in a limbo for more days..

I give up.... this is not right to not let us know as well even if we’re denied. I’m trying to remain positive, but this is just torturous. I am literally hanging on to the edge of my seat because I’m ready to pass out from all this anxiety. If I don’t get in for this cycle, that’s sets me back another year and more classes to have to retake because of their 7 year requirement for the age of prerequisites. I would have to retake 2 classes and one of those is Statistics. ??

Every. Single. Word. I tried calling them and no one picks up of course. I have no idea how to why would even consider to release partial results. Why would they do such a thing? Knowing well enough we are already tortured enough by this long wait.
I’m sorry about your situation. There are some schools that have 10 years requirement for pre requisites, you should consider them. I’m doing statistics now and it’s not something I’d wanna do again.

Thank you.. ? IDK, I feel so turned off about this. I know every single one of us in this thread qualifies for their program. But, why???? Why exclude us from knowing today??

Yes, exactly. It does make me feel less of.. though I know for a fact I’m not, this acceptance does not define my worth, but still being treated like this hurts. Especially, after being suspended for 2 weeks. It is taking its toll on me emotionally and mentally. We simply didn’t deserve this. We had the same deadlines and were in time to submit all the documents, so we should be treated the same. ?

I called earlier today before decisions were released and they answered right away. I called near 5:00 before they closed, wondering why all the applications weren’t released all together and it went straight to voicemail ?

I have stopped looking and have stopped refreshing my email. I know what the outcome is because all background checking is due tomorrow which is March 11th. This is such a shame, I am hurt, and cannot hold my tears back any longer. Best of luck to everyone and God bless you all. I will continue praying for those who have not heard anything back and for those who aren’t admitted, your time will come. ???
