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 am freaking out also! I don't think that they would wait until the 27th, at least I hope not! haha As for my stats, My upper division undergrad GPA is a 3.75 and my pre req GPA is a 4.0. However, I am still taking statistics and developmental psych. Good luck everyone!!
I've been reading this thread for some time and I've been nervous as well. I'm graduating this May with a bachelors in Psychology and my upper division undergrad GPA is 3.95 and my pre req GPA is a 4.0 and I've finished taking everything. But I wish everyone the best of luck!!
i received an email from NursingCAS and my heart started to race, i felt the most butterflies in my stomach and when i opened it, IT WAS A NEWSLETTER! THE ANXIETY IS KILLING ME!!!
Well compared to everyone else my GPA is bare minimum. So this thread isn't making me feel any better. On the other hand, I have a masters and 14 peer reviewed publications but I suspect they won't find that particularly relevant. Only three more working days until we all know.
