UF Accelerated BSN Fall 2012

U.S.A. Florida

Published

HI:)

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!:mad: 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.

marta- I had not heard anything yet either and finally decided to call Ken this afternoon. He thought he had already called me to give me the update on my status. I have a conditional acceptance (as long as I pass my last pre-req this semester)!! I'm picking up my letter on Monday morning. Hope you get good news too! :)

@seaglassgreen- I think you and I were in the same interview group at UNF... group 6 at 11:30AM? I too got accepted to both UNF and UF but my heart is truly with UF so I will be staying in Gainesville!

I also just sent a request to join the Facebook group. I can't wait to get to know my fellow classmates! Congrats to everyone who has gotten in so far!

i spoke with ken today and he said that my letter was never sent because UF is still processing my app but he asked them to put a rush on it. he also said not to worry because he wouldn't make me jump through all these hoops for nothing. which can only mean one thing but he couldn't say anything "official":) yay!

I got in too! Can't wait to meet you guys!! I requested to join the facebook group too :)

Does anyone know how many people are accepted into the program?

@jskelton, I think I was in group 3 at 11:30. Congratulations!

J8911 - did you already decline your spot at UCF for UF? I am on the wait list for UCF and am very hopeful that some spots opened up with those who are accepting other school's offers. Best of luck to you and congrats on your acceptance!

@sunshine03 yes, I just sent an email this morning to them telling them that I would like my name taken off the waitlist. Thank you and good luck to you!

@ tebowlover Is your degree in health Ed & Behavior just asking because you mentioned the internship credit

actually it's in economics lol... completely unrelated i know!

Does anybody know when they let the people who petitioned know the status of their petition?

Does anybody know when they let the people who petitioned know the status of their petition?

They told me I would know either way by April 13th....tomorrow is the deadline for those accepted to claim their seat or not.

I decided not to petition....it just gives me false hope and I'm not ready to pack up an move in a week and start school. Good luck! I hope you get a good call!
