It's only May but I am already working on getting my ducks in a row for the Post-bacc application. I thought it would be nice to start a thread so applicants can support each other through the process! I know I have a million questions already and I am trying hard not to pester admissions.
I am so excited to be almost done with my prerequisites and I am looking forward to finally applying this Fall!
I would love to hear about everyone's background, projects, questions, and hopefully we can help each other out.
I emailed Kenneth today about The letters of recommendation. I have one from a doctor I worked with and one from the director of a place I volunteered at. He told me that those were acceptable for the letters of recommendation!
I am confused. I thought we only needed to upload our pre-req transcripts into nursingcas manually? we also have to send our full transcripts there as well??
I uploaded my prereq transcripts under "Colleges Attended" in my Academic History. Then I manually entered the prereqs and grades under "Transcript Entry". Is that what you mean?
Oh wait, now that I'm reading your comment again, I understand your confusion. My understanding is that they can process and verify transcript uploads, so I don't think we need to mail transcripts in. I didn't.
That's worrisome. I also read similar comments from last year's thread. Could you please tell us more? I personally don't think I can choose Gainesville since I have small children in school in Jax, but I would love to know more about your experience. Thank you!
@Twinkleytoes I'd like to know more about your experience too.
Also can you please tell me about how much you pay for this program if you don't mind? I'm trying to figure out the cost for out-of-state living on or off campus.
The professors don't "teach". They tell you to read the books, look at power points, listen to the posted lectures. And then you get to the exam not prepared because honestly it's pretty much impossible to know 20 chapters of material for 1 exam. And then the majority of the class fails. I would not recommend UF Jax. If you can get in elsewhere in Jax, I would.
I'm pretty sure. I would contact Kenneth Wynn just to make sure but I think I recall a few people in my cohort who graduated and then started the program a few days later lol
