University of Central Florida (UCF) BSN to DNP 2024

Published

Hello! Is anyone planning on applying to any of UCF's BSN-DNP programs? I am applying to the adult/gerontology acute care track and am kind of nervous since it is super competitive. I'm hoping this chat will help ease anxiety and we can all stay connected on the application process and timeline. And if any previous applicants can talk about what they did to boost their chances of getting into the program(s) that would be awesome!

Wow they're really not gonna send it out today. I really thought today was it based on past years 😩

I know that kinda bums me out, I thought they'd send it today. But IDK if the weekend affects the decisions as well otherwise I'm hoping it's by the 10th 

Me refreshing my email every 5 min since 9 am yesterday LOL

I hope they let us know today 🤞...I'll be at work but it'll be nice to see the decision in my email waiting for me 😁

Oh geez well I guess they'll keep us waiting then.. I also applied to UF program but I heard you may not hear anything until April.

Dang that's a long wait! Who are you leaning toward if you get into both?

Honestly I have no idea but UCF speaks to me more for some reason. Maybe I feel like I might get in or something? Also like the Orlando area as well ...My friends were saying no one wants to go back to school so you should have a high chance LOL. But they are both reputable programs so hoping one will choose me at least :). I am currently traveling and hope I can still do travel nursing while part time on the program. I'm not ready to give up every Friday paychecks LOL. 

Has anyone reached out to the college of nursing yet by phone call to see if they have a predicted time for announcing the admissions decisions? 

Yes I'm wondering the same too

I just called. She said it will be at the end of this month. 

Oh my goodness! I wonder why so much later than the previous years 😞 I went and looked and for the last 2 years, they found out by March 11th.

Aw man! I had my mind set on early march for decisions so I am a little disappointed with having to wait for a couple more weeks 😞
