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.
now i'm getting my hopes up lol. i gave ken my new address since i moved. i have my mail forwarded otherwise so i don't know if UF used my old address and it's taking longer for it to get here (if it is a rejection letter) or if it a packet and it's taking longer because of that and they sent it to my new address...
I agree that this makes waiting easier. I am so thankful that I found this site. To me we already feel like a group supporting each other. I can't imagine how great it would be to have you all as my classmates :)
