UF accelerated BSN 2021

Published

Hey everybody! Anyone applying for the above mentioned program? I haven't had luck finding any threads, in regard to this, for that specific year. I would like to find people who are so we can keep in touch through this process.

Here in Jax there was about 40ish and for Gainesville it was around 70ish. Of course these numbers change as people drop/ need to pick up on a course they didn't pass. 

Do not let this discourage you! We have a mix of people (at least here in Jax) one went to med school and some didn't have any healthcare experience at all. You also have those with very high GPAs and people with a 3.1 from undergrad (like me). 

I know it's hard not to think about it, but you won't get your decision until late February, so just try to relax until then or you'll just drive yourself crazy.

 

 

Edit: I also wanted to add that thankfully we only use ProctorU for HESI exams which there are like 1/2 at the end of the semester. We used primarily Honorlock for exams (which I really liked), but word is that we will be going to Examsoft for next semester (I heard this is also pretty good too). Don't worry you all are not alone for the ProctorU issues, we know how stressful that platform is.

Random question. Did we need to send in our high school transcripts, official AP scores from College Board, or transcripts from schools we attended transiently? I’m currently in the process of sending all these things to another school who didn’t tell me originally that they were required.

Which school are you applying to? For UNF, I had to send my AP scores from college board and transcripts from transient schools

UCF needs me to send all of these things and they didn’t even tell me they were required. As far as I knew, my undergraduate transcript was enough

UCF is the WORST! Constant issues with their admissions staff/system. I sent my application fee over 3 weeks ago and they still don't have it and will not look at my application until they do.

Agreed! I sent my application and undergraduate transcript in mid-October and it wasn’t until yesterday that I realized I needed to send all these other things in, and that was only because I called UCF and asked. I’m pretty sure no one would have told me if I didn’t ask. I’m worried they won’t even admit me to the school by the time the nursing application opens. Now I’m worried that UF required the same things and I didn’t send them in

Awww! Sorry that happened that is so stressful ? . The only ones I remember needing to dig up ap/Ib scores were for ucf and unf. I believe uf said if it’s listed on the transcript we don’t need them... but honestly (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) is great at answering questions. I wouldn’t lose hope though I think UCF has rolling admissions. It sure does get expensive though! I took some of my AP exams over 8 years ago so I had to pay the $25 per school to un-archive them ?

Thank you so much! I emailed (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) but she hasn’t gotten back to me yet. She’s been so helpful throughout this while process! I had to pay to unarchive my scores too! What a scam...

OK everyone I'm freaking out major right now... so I just found out my official transcripts were never sent to UF. Everything in my NuringCas was fine and submitted the post BA application but my official transcripts were never sent. I'm trying to send them now, but do you think my application will even get looked at since it's pasted the 1st?

I would email! But I think you should be fine, as long as you have your unofficial submitted through nursing cas. I know that my transcripts took like 8 weeks to be sent in, I’m lucky I submitted it early. The whole covid situation, they should be understanding of delays!

So, I have a BS from UF already so if you are like me then this is what she said in response to official transcripts to me:
