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 don't think any of us want to wait that long. I wonder how many people aren't going to be able to go to the program this year because of how long this is taking...
I also need to apply for loans to pay for the program. I am thinking of going over to the financial aid office and asking what I should do because I'm not sure I will get in...
mid-april is out of control, that should be against the law. But, i also would like to know who you heard it from, because sometimes in that office not everyone knows what's going on.
I don't see how it can be mid-april....don't we have to have a drug screening, background check, immunization form, orientation? I mean don't get me wrong, I'll hop right to it...I just don't see how it's possible for everyone.....especially those who have gotten in other places?

Samiam- where did you find all this info? Is the school providing the testing, background checks, etc? Or are we paying for it all?
this is going to sound weird but I just have to express by love for all nurses...i swear its the only place on the internet where people can talk to anonymous people and be considerate. Also I learn all sorts of things on here...i'd be lost without it
Oh boy - I was not prepared to have to be CPR certified before the program starts! I already have CPR skills so it's not that - it's paying for and really finding somewhere to get certified in less than a month along with rearranging schedules and finances and letting my employer know etc ... But I guess freaking out isn't helping either :)
I would go by what Ken had said. Someone on here said that they talked to him and that they were already loooking at our apps so it's most likely still going to be the beginning of April. Wish it was sooner though:)

i'm 99% sure that we have to pay for it all. you do if you apply to sf college
