If you're applying to the University of Florida's Fall 2011 accelerated BSN program in Gainesville, this thread's for you! Applicants, current students, and alumni are all welcome to the discussion!
(I am not sure what the difference is, but in case they are on different servers I will post them both. This way you potentially have two servers to use in case one of them is temporarily down.)
Looking forward to meeting more of you on here!
I actually "appropriated" almost everything above from the previous years discussion board. I would at least like to give credit to the original author. The thread last year has been very helpful for me. It contained a lot of quality content and postings. It even included posts from members of the UF College of Nursing administration as well current, former, and prospective students. I hope that this thread will be just as helpful. I look forward to discussing various topics with all of you, such as the inevitable "what is your G.P.A and GRE score." I also hope that one day soon I will be able to meet with all of you face to face as newly admitted students for the Fall 2011 term. Good Luck!!!
In good faith I will say that my undergraduate GPA was very low, around a 2.0, but I earned a 3.5 GPA at FGCU for my MBA in Finance. It was a 4.0 until my final two semesters when I experienced an unfortunate series of losses of friends and loved ones. I have taken a few other courses at the undergraduate level since my bachelors degree and earned either an A or a rare B+. I am currently retaking all of my prerequisites because I took them, originally, over seven years ago. I earned a B+ in Nutrition last semester, and I expect close to straight A's this semester even though I am taking BSC 2085, BSC 2086, MCB 2010, DEP 2004, and STA 2023 all in the same semester. I am also working forty hours per week as a Financial Aid Officer at City College and teaching in the College of Business part time at the same institution. No, I would not recommend this to anyone else or to myself if I could do it over again. I took the GRE at the beginning of this month, but I was not pleased with my results. I scored a 1250, and I plan on retaking it in the beginning of December. I scored a 1380 on the SAT and a 690 on the GMAT. I was very tired, and I think I will do significantly better the next time. As I said before, I look forward to hearing from all of you regarding your backgrounds and any questions you might have.
Hi! I am thinking of applying to the program for 2012 and am curious what everyone's stats were: GPA, GRE score, etc. I just want to know what my chances are. Thank you!
I hope you girls got my email! I'm trying to plan a trip down to Gainesville to check out apartments! Email me when you get a chance!
Thanks,

UFCON,
I faxed my "confirmation of acceptance" form last week...should we be receiving anything from the College of Nursing now verifying that this form was received? Or should I call to verify? Just a little paranoid...
Hello, everyone...I am also currently in the process of finding a place to live in Gainesville. I am completely clueless when it comes to that area and feel a little bit overwhelmed by the whole process, especially since I am trying to do everything from back home in Miami. I am planning a trip to Gainesville soon. Is anyone planning a social or meet and greet before orientation???
Congrats to those who got into the program! I wish I would have known of this discussion board sooner! I was wondering if there are any other hopeful individuals out there who are still on the wait list? I did not get into the program and filled out a petition and then was put on the wait list. I know my chances are probably slim, especially at this point, but just thought I would see if there is anyone else like me! Hope you all are having a great summer!
I was wondering if you were still looking for roommates? Another student from the nursing program and I are planning on living together, but I know 3 bedroom apartments are a little bit cheaper! Let me know if you're interested and I'll email you some more info!
I just got your PM, but i don't have enough posts to send one out yet! I actually already have my living situation figured out, but thank you for considering me! Best of luck finding another roommate! The 3 bedrooms are definitely cheaper and that's the route I'm going. Looking forward to meeting you in August!
I was put on the wait list and I am still waiting. I asked if I should file a petition and was told not to. At this point, I don't think my chances are very good at getting in the program for this year. But, I did choose to remain on the wait list. I was recently informed that I have alternate status with another nursing program. So, I am hoping between the two that I will be accepted into one of the programs for this fall. Good luck to you!!
UFCON, how many applicants were there this year for the accelerated program? How many admits? Thank you and congratulations to all who were accepted this year!
Actually, the total score is not as important as the individual verbal and quantitative scores. While 1250 sounds great I would want to know what the split is since the individual scores are key.
Hi UFCON,
Which individual score do you look at more heavily, the math or verbal? Thanks!
