UF ABSN Summer 2021

Published

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!

Does anyone know if those that don't get accepted will NOT get an email?

Same, I'm not seeing anything. Is there another way we are supposed to check our status? I hope results are released today...

Even if you’re not admitted, you still receive an email. When I was declined back in 2019, I still received an email just to be informed.

Both advisors said it’ll be an email notification. ?

Ugh what are the chances they don’t send them today? I guess nobody has talked to ---------------------.

What if we have to wait another week?? ? I haven’t spoken to him this week after he told me last week that we’ll here back today......

He told me that he is planning to get it out by Friday but that he doesn’t decide when decisions go out. That he’s gonna do it as soon as possible.

Ohh man..... IDK anymore, this is so nerve wracking ? I’m sure he’s probably left the office by now, so I’m guessing we won’t know until after this weekend?? Ugh.... ?
