I am gatorguy3380, and I am planning on applying to the UF Accelerated BSNprogram beginning in 2013! I have been steadily working my way through my prerequisites and am studying for my GRE as we speak. I have been eyeing thisprogram for a while and have found that this thread is a great way to shareexpectations and successes for those pursuing entrance into this prestigiousprogram.
So it seems like everyone on here likes to know each other's "stats."So since I seem to be the originator here you go! I have a BS from FlaglerCollege in St. Augustine that I received 6 years ago. My GPA from my last 60was 3.55. I have completed Human Nutrition, Statistics, Human Growth andDevelopment, and A&P 1, all with A's. My overall college GPA is just a hairover a 3.0. I am currently in Micro and plan on taking A&P II in the springjust prior to admission. I am 32, a male, and used to be a law enforcementofficer. I feel that with a combination of my academics and my personalexperiences, with a solid GRE score (which I haven't taken yet) and stay ontrack with my pre-reqs I stand a good chance of getting in!
Just because I posted my info, there is no need to post yours. I like the ideaof meeting some of my future cohorts on this life course change and createdthis tread so that we could all find a sense of comfort in a tiny sharedcommunity! Good luck to all and I will enjoy interacting with you here!
That score sheet is interesting. Do you think they use something similar to evaluate our apps for original decisions? I hope so, because I scored pretty high from looking at it!
Yeah, i think I would get like a 21 or 22 on the points sheet. The scores I'd miss would be things I can't really control, like being of a demographic underrepresented in nursing, or having the max # of years of related work experience (since I only decided to change to nursing less than a year ago)
And yay for March! I can't believe I have another ABSN interview next Friday already!
Has anyone else in Gainesville checked their mail today? Mine doesn't usually come until afternoon, so just wondering if I really should stay home all day to wait for it... LoL!
