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.
I have not heard either. When I talked to Ken, he said he was hoping to let everyone know by today, (the 13th). I am hoping to hear some good news, although I am slightly nervous because today is "friday the 13th" haha.
I haven't seen anyone talk about being waitlisted either, but I wasn't sure. I haven't heard anything about my petition either, I was really hoping that we would have heard something by today. Hopefully early next week, whether it's good or bad news I would really like to hear soon!!
When I called I was told that there is a waitlist and if our petition is approved we are put on the waitlist not given a spot. Therefore even if we are approved we would still need them to make it through most of the waitlist in order to be taken off. However, I don't know how large the waitlist was, if we go to the bottom, or if the waitlist is ranked at all....they wouldn't reveal that information either. I would like to know either way as well...I mean classes start in a month?!
I really hope so, we get so many indefinite answers about when we hear information. Classes start in less than a moth now, I feel like we should know by now. Hopefully we'll hear something in the next 2 days :)
Sure will! I've heard stories of students who had been wait listed finding out that they had been accepted a week or two before classes began....they were given an extension to get all their documentation sorted out and by the looks of things that might be our case...just thought I would share that.
