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 just saw this post! I to was confused by NursingCAS website and if the transcripts were to be sent to them directly, so I did just in case. I saw it towards the last minute so I'm hoping it was all in on time. Did anyone else run into this problem?
You did have to send NursingCAS a transcript directly, I believe you can check the day they received it. Log on, go to "check status", and then look at "transcript". If you expand that tab it shows the day it was received and if it has been verified or not.
Has anyone heard from Mr. Wynn about a more specific decision date?
He never told me a specific date. All he said was the decisions would be emailed by the end of February. Looking back at last years post like these, they found out February 18.
This is awful! My phone has been on my lap all day and all I've gotten is random emails I don't care about! I wonder if they'll be a morning 9am or an afternoon 6pm kind of thing?
decided to join this thread so I can be anxious with you all. My head goes back and forth with "oh yeah I've got a good shot at this" to "oh there's no possible way"
Hopefully we will get emails soon! Until then best of luck! I check my email about every 8 minutes (sometimes 4 minutes) haha
