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.
yeah i live on campus, and i agree i wish i would have gone in on friday...but I did email in last week and make sure they had the correct address, and ms. beaty said it was in the database correct so we will see, hopefully i can walk down there and then walk back with triumph....unfortunately Ken is not answering the phone now...might be lunch break
Wish I could but I work until 10... At this point I almost wish I didn't know they went out on Friday. If it is going to take a week of thinking the letter will come, I'd rather be in the dark...
I agree, Kgreg...It could be lunch hour poodle, they're pretty traditional about their 12-1 lunch...when you get in touch with him, keep us posted. I may give him a call as well (although I e-mailed him last week and never heard back)
okay so i just went out to meet the mailman. i live at an apt complex, and he hadn't gotten to my mailbox yet, but he said if i waited a minute he'd tell me because there wasn't much mail. so he flipped through the mail in his hands, and i swear i saw UFnursing envelope (it was a normal small one), and he asked me my name, but it wasnt mine...
so i think we are getting them today, but i think mine will be in miami!
they were missing the official copy of my gre scores, I have a letter from the gre people saying I sent them but they got put under my maiden name. So I went in and brought the gre scores that I have) opened of course. SO...this also meant i got a chance to talk to Ken and told him I have to decide about Duke really soon. He said that I will be receiving an admissions packet in the next few days, and that I am accepted, however it is still conditionally because I am still taking pre-reqs this semester, so if I have a C or above in all three classes(definitely), background check, immunizations etc... then yes I am in...!
which is great news!!!! but i want to get the packet before i officially reject Duke, just to be sure :heartbeat:yelclap:
as far as what that means for letters in the mail I have no idea
Congrats poodle! But wow I'm really impressed that you got into duke too! Thats really prestigious I feel like if I were you I would want to go there just for the experience! Especially after seeing how long it took for UF to get it together. I'm a little disappointed in them :-/
