Hello, I am also applying for the 2017 Accelerated BSN program. I am concerned about my GPA. I do have a 3.7 in my last 60 credits but my prereq GPA is a 3.6. I know its fierce competition out there. I know experience is not required but I have been and ER Vet Tech for 10 years and UF said they look at that as experience. Good luck to everyone and its great that we can bounce off questions out here!
I sent in my post bacc app about a week ago, and am still working on my nursing CAS application. I got an email about the upcoming deadline, so I am assuming they must have received my post bacc application.
I am also a little concerned about my qualifications, as I know there is some serious competition to get into an accelerated program. My masters GPA is 3.95, but my pre-reqs will be slightly lower. When I spoke with the advisor, he stated that they focus on either your last 60 credit GPA or your graduate GPA - whichever is the last degree you earned. I'm not sure if that means they weigh that more than your pre-reqs, or vice versa, but I am hoping for the first.
I was a little happily surprised that they take UF grads into consideration... I'm trying not to put too many eggs in one basket, but it would be awesome to be a double Gator.

I know the applications don't open for another month, but I have been reading the threads from previous programs and wanted to start one for ours!
Anyone looking to get into the ABSN program at UF, Summer 2017?
Go Gators!
