2014 UF's Generic BSN program

bjTX · Feb 18, 2014

Hi I'm applying for fall 2014 as well. I'm a transfer student from Texas. I have a 3.98 cumulative GPA and a 4.0 pre req GPA. I submitted my application to UF with transcripts and the BSN form to CON. I wonder if I'm missing any another requirements?

Also, I have read all the threads from the past few years and I saw that UF prefers students from Florida.

Yeah, they're highly competitive. I think you should be fine as far as requirements. I'm not really sure on what exactly UF wants in a student, but you're right when they say UF students get first priority. Personally I think it's a load of crap. It should be a blind admission process in my opinion. Just make sure you apply other places as well and especially IN YOUR STATE!. Because for instance, I applied to Tennessee as an out of state transfer for their BSN program and they didn't even offer me an interview. They were accepting students with 3.2 GPA's from UT. So I called them and asked why I didn't receive in interview because I felt I was more qualified than a lot of the other applicants and they told me since i was an out of state student they didn't even look at my application. They said they only want to accept students from within UT because they're trying to make a tradition. So now I'm fighting with them trying to get my application money back lol.

Yes I did. But I'm an international student, so applying to Texas schools doesn't really make a difference. I totally agree with you that it should be a blind admission process. Lol I thought it wouldn't be that hard to get into UF until I read the past threads .. But Oh well hopefully UF can see what we have :))
