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!
There is no switching campuses with people! My good friend is going to Jax and has tried asking my times to get switched to Gainesville. Once you're assigned a campus, there's no switching under any circumstances.
ufgatorjax86 : CONGRATS!!! The same thing happened to me. I instantly accepted the offer to Jax. I would not want to risk it. I will more than likely be looking for a roommate.
G8trGrad : I petitioned. i went and spoke to Kenn in person about the whole process of admissions when i turned in the petition. Its really complicated how they choose applicants, especially from the waitlist and those who petition. From my understanding though, waitlist have priority over those who petitioned. Im not too sure though.
