I am an undergraduate student at UCF right now and will soon be graduating with my degree in Psychology. I am applying to UF's Accelerated BSN program for Fall 2012.
My first year of college was brutal! My first semester I made 4 Cs and 1 D. My second semester I made 2 Cs and 3 Fs. I had to retake the 3 classes I failed over the summer and I made 3 Cs. So... it has completely ruined my GPA. It seems like no matter how many As I make it barely brings it up.
But, thankfully UF only considers your most RECENT 60 credit hours towards your GPA. This is so great because my overall GPA is only a 2.6, but by the time I'm done taking classes my most recent 60 credit hours GPA will be around a 3.7-3.8.
Is anyone else suffering from a year of bad grades like me?
I wish every other school only considered your most recent 60 credit hours. UF seems like my only real hope to be accepted, but at the same time it's UF... not the easiest school to get into.
Has anyone considered any alternative nursing programs just in case? I'm curious as to your input on some of the private colleges in the area (I've seen commercials for a Rasmussen College recently)...I'm just so ready to be a nurse that I would do anything!
No letter in Miami. Does anyone know if Ken gave an official confirmation that letters were sent on Friday? I hope we're not getting our hopes up for nothing!
To my knowledge the last info we had from Ken himself was that we would hear by today... But the letters being sent on Friday was from someone in the office I believe.
I had a face to face confirmation. It also says so on their website. I live in Gainesville as well, but cannot check my mail until 6. I'll update you all then. My mail comes late, at 330.. so I am hoping mine may have been filtered in to the mail system. Good luck, tomorrow will be the day I am sure of it!

Where on the website?
Did anyone who had to give a decision to another school try emailing Ken and getting an answer?
