UF's Generic BSN Program Fall 2012

hello everyone.

this is ken foote from uf college of nursing. i do check this site from time to timeand will occasionally post if it’s useful.

letters,both admission and denial, went out friday june 8^th in the morningmail. i expect people to start receiving letters wednesday based on how i knowthe mail works around here but i can’t guarantee that.

for transfer students, your status on line through isis will update by the end ofthe week. if you are a uf student reading this, hold don’t necessarily meananything one way or another.

i knoweveryone is anxious to find out but it’s just going to take some time. just tryto remain patient and please keep in mind that that we do not discuss decisionsover the phone or via email.

if youhave questions once you get your letter you can always get in touch with me viaemail at [email protected].

Thank you very much!

You're very welcome.

I originally wasn't planning on writing a comment on here, but after some careful thinking, I decided that I must. As pre-nursing students, we constantly hear how competitive nursing school is, and how our GPAs and Admission essays should be nearly perfect in order for us to be accepted. And while I understand that these are the only ways for nursing schools to consider us as possible further students, I wanted to reassure you all that who we are is not dependent on our acceptance into a program. The admission board wasnt there the nights we stayed up studying for these pre-requisites, or the days we shuddered when we received a B or a C on our transcript because we had the toughest professor on campus . They weren't there, and , I just want you all to know that we are more than a " piece in these games" , and that whatever the result is, we are an exceptional group of people for taking a risk to be accepted into a limited program. Good luck to all :)

Well said Affinity. I can't help but agree with you. I know how tough it is for students here at UF and I can only assume it's the same at other schools. I have nothing but respect for Nursing students because I know they have taken on one of the toughest undergraduate programs out there. I truly wish to echo those good luck wishes to everyone.

also, just as an fyi, iwon't be in the office tuesday so if you email me please give me some time torespond. i'll get back to you as soon as i can wednesday.

Hey guys! gosh I have not been on this site in forever! I just wanted to wish all you guys good luck.. I remember when I was posting on this site a year ago waiting for my letter... I know how you feel! regardless of what the decision letter says just know somehow, someway you will become nurses!! If I have learned anything it is never give up on your dreams. If you are passionate about it then you will reach your goal. GOOD LUCK! I know you will all make AMAZING nurses one day regardless of if you get your BSN from UF

Best of luck to you in ur career :)

Hi all,

I have a 3.94 cumulative GPA and 3.81 prerequisite GPA. I do not have any previous medical experiences except for some minor volunteering services while in highschool. I was hoping my grades as well as my essay will stand out a bit. I also graduated with my AA from a FL community college last Fall.

Late last year I applied to three different schools including UF, UMass Boston, and USF. I found out early spring of this year that I was accepted to both USF and UMass. I decided to deny USF and go with UMB. For the past several months, I have patiently waited for UF's answer, as UF is my top 1 on my list.

I live in S. FL and received my mail today. Saw that the mail was very thin, knew it was no good. And I was right, I was rejected.

I hope everyone's wishes and goals will soon come true. Whatever the result may be, always remember everything happens for a reason. My boyfriend of 4 years will start his medical residency in Boston this summer, hence the reason why I applied to Boston. I made myself a deal that if UF magically accepts me then I would sacrifice and choose UF since it has always been a dream of mine to call myself a Gator. If UF had accepted me, my relationship may not have a happy ending after all. Like I said, everything happens for a reason. Stay strong everyone.

I will be heading to Boston in two weeks as I will start taking classes in July. I wish everyone well and best of luck.

Happy posting.
