University of Florida DNP Fall 2021

[TinyNurse18]

Hello there! I just wanted to start this thread to see if there were any people applying to the University of Florida for next fall for their nurse practitioner program? I am applying to the BSN to DNP specialty in Pediatric Acute Care. Anyone know how the current pandemic might affect the application process? Any current students that might want to share their experiences with application process, and the current state of the program? Thank you all in advanced, looking forward to hearing from you all and starting this journey.

I have a feeling it’s going to be May with that response... dang. Because if they had tons of applicants and “would notify us if they need more time” then IDK why I feel like they’re probably really busy. 

The no gre requirement this year has been a blessing and a curse smh...

I’ve been following along this forum for a while for updates, and finally made an account today. Hi everybody!  The wait is killing me as well!  
I have offers from two schools (USF and UCF)  but UF is my first choice for their PMHNP so I’m trying to delay decisions as far as I can.

I emailed the admissions director last week saying something along the lines of... I know plenty of people must be keeping you busy asking about the decisions but is the dept on track for the mid  April- early may deadline? She stated that yes they were, but if that The department needed extra time due to the volume of applications, applicants would be notified. 
 

So, I’m truly hoping poster above is correct and that decisions will be out this week, but... with the GRE being waived.... who knows how many applied? 

If you got into UCF, you’ll get UF.  UCF is a mo’ fo’ to get into.  Harder than UF imho.

MountaingoatRN, how so? 
 

I’ve tried finding info regarding the differences and advantages to UCF vs USF in case I don’t get into UF but can’t find much. Any insight is appreciated.

I’m so scared I won’t get accepted ?

Just a feeling & research, but who knows.  I’m sure the field of applicants is extremely competitive due to no GRE.

If you got into USF or UCF, I wouldn’t sweat it.  Other than personal choice of UF, the working world doesn’t care.  All of them are solid schools.  One doesn’t carry more weight than the other when applying for NP work.
