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!
Did anyone not go back and update there "in progress" classes with NursingCAS for the Fall semester for prerequisites? I submitted final transcripts to NursingCAS but I didn't update my in progress prerequisites under the Transcripts section of the application.
I will create a FB group for Jax campus, but I think we should also have a group page for everyone between campuses so we can talk about how the programs are going! I'll post the link shortly, and everyone can add themselves!
Ok, to create a group I have to have people to add it to. Please friend me on fb then I will create and add you to the group! My name is Jessica Page Not Found | Facebook
