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!
wow so many people going to Jax. I thought Gaineseville was the larger campus. I was accepted to Gaineseville, which is what I indicated on the app. I figured thats the main campus and will have better facilities. But I am kind of jealous of your guys going to Jax. I lived for few weeks in Jax before and visited quiet a few times and I like it. I never been to Gainesville. Does anyone know any differences between the campuses?
I got into the Gainesville campus! So excited! Can someone let me know if they start a Facebook group for the Gainesville campus? Also looking at places to live!
I haven't heard anything but around 0830 I left him a voicemail, a note with the secretary, and an email haha! It may be overkill but I'm covering all my bases here. So hopefully we hear something soon.
