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!
I'm in Jacksonville and stalked the mailman for about 15 minutes before he made his way to our mailbox!
It comes in a regular envelope with a confirmation of acceptance page that you have to send back to them. They must receive it by March 18 or your name is off the list. Once you accept it, you will receive the enrollment and registration paperwork. Mandatory orientation for the program will be held May 7th & 8th.
Congrats again! This further confirms my expectation that the folks farther away from Gainesville will receive their letters before those of us in town. Kinda cruel!!! But yay Nette!
Thanks guys! Congrats PsychNurse13! Now, I have to go and "try" to study for tomorrow's microbiology midterm. One celebratory glass of wine tonight...I need all my brain cells for tomorrow! lol
congrats to those who got in I live in Gainesville I'm going to check my mail tomorrow have a great day and good luck to everyone. I'm surprised that this year the acceptance letters come in a regular envelope that makes opening it more nerve wrecking.
I'm glad I read on here that it came in a small envelope. I could tell that it contained more than one piece of paper so as soon as I held it in my hand I had a good feeling. I thought "no one takes more than one page to write a rejection letter, right?"

Way to go Nettegator!
I hope tomorrow I can say we are classmates! I'm looking forward to a thick envelope.... nothing came in today.
A multi-page rejection letter would just be cruel and unusual.
But yay Nette!
