I have already gotten extremely worried about the UF ABSN application process even before it starts! So here I am creating a thread to share my concerns with you all who may be on the same boat with me.
At the moment, my biggest concern is that my overall undergraduate GPA (which is from a foreign country) is embarrassingly low (under 3.0 on a 4.0 scale) and my upper division GPA is probably even lower, due to my lack of seriousness during my undergraduate studies. BUT, when I came to the US for my Master's degree at FIU, I became more serious with school and graduated with a cumulative GPA of 3.85. I did read that UF website states only GPA from the most recent 60 credit hours or cumulative GPA from Master's or PhD is calculated for admission criteria, nonetheless, I am still very concerned that overall GPA from all colleges attended will be taken into account, and my undergraduate GPA would have dragged me down.
I am currently working part-time at a home health company as a CNA while taking my pre-requisites, so far I am straight A's and have Microbiology in the Fall and A&PII in the Spring left to be finished. I have no idea how much chance I stand for the UF accelerated program but it is my only hope and dream because all other Universities require a cumulative GPA of 3.0.
I would really appreciate it if anyone can share their thoughts with me. Thank you!
I got into the Gainesville campus and I'm so excited!! :) I already accepted my acceptance following the link, but I wish we would get a confirmation email that we did!
And someone should definitely make a Facebook group for our class this year! One for the Gainesville campus and one for Jax!
Hey guys, congrats to everyone who got in! I got in and will be relocating to jax! Soooooo who knows anything/wants to look at apartments lololol I've never been to jax oops
Does anyone know that withdrawing a prerequisite class that is not required by UF at this time will affect my admissions or not? I'm taking the class for another school that requires it. But now I have been accepted into UF so I don't need it anymore.
No, when you're accepted you're given a link to follow to approve your acceptance and say you'll go to UF. And I said I wish we got an email confirming that we did that.
