UF Fall 2017 BSN

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hello!

I am a UF pre-nursing student applying to UF's BSN program for the Fall of 2017. I haven't seen a thread for Fall 2017 applications yet so I would like to open up a discussion! Following these forums have really helped me start mentally preparing for this application process.

I hope to hear how other applicants are approaching the nursing application and attract any tips on how to create a competitive application. I've noticed that this year's essay responses are much different than previous years'. Instead of an essay topic, we have 10 short response questions. Any takes on that? Also, I'd like to meet other UF BSN applicants (transfers as well) to get a general idea of the pool this year.

I guess it's part of the "holistic" approach they're trying out this year. I don't know what to expect either but we have a long wait to go.

Yeah we have a long way to go! I just really hope that they make the right descions!

Yes, I also figured it had to do with the fact they are looking at more than just GPA this year. I guess there's really no way to know. I just answered all the questions honestly and poured my heart out in my essays. We can only hope for the best. :cat:

Hey Lyndauba, sure thing! My prereq was 3.8 and my TEAS was 330. I do plan on applying for fall but I'm going to retake the TEAS again because the competition has definitely gotten more competitive since this summers group.

Oh wow! That is so scary to me! My prereq is a 3.87 GPA just because of one B in micro í ½í¸‘í ½í¸‘ and I have a 331 on the TEAS. í ½í¸©í ½í¸© I know I'll get an interview, but I don't know after that. I have a friend that got into the summer program she had something in the 330's as well and I think a 3.8 something tbh sometimes people are just lucky!

The assessment was interesting. It wasn't exactly what I thought it was going to be. It was difficult because I had trouble deciding which character attribute to put at the bottom of the lists. I wonder how much weight they are putting on the test. At this point, it seems like maybe UF should just start doing an interview like USF does. The assessment in addition to the essays kind of feels like an interview would I guess, but without physically being there.

Exactly! And I feel like it's very easy to get deceived by the essays and assessment. A person that really deserved to be there might not make it because of some dumb test.

According to someone who talked to the dean yesterday, admission decisions are being prepared to send out currently. So the decisions are done they're just organizing everything to send. We should find out next week. Probably Friday, June 2nd if I had to guess, they came out June 3rd (Friday) last year.
