What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing their experiences with waiting to hear back about acceptance into nursing programs, specifically the FNP program at the University of Florida. Some members are expressing frustration at the lack of communication and delays in receiving decisions, while others are sharing updates on when waitlisted individuals can expect to hear back. Additionally, there is a subgroup forming study groups and sharing information about getting off the waitlist for specific tracks within the program.

Hey everyone! Making this forum for anyone planning on applying to UF for Fall 2025! Applications are opening soon-ish and wanted to start the conversation! 

I'm planning on applying for AGACNP part time.

It seems like a lot of us here are kinda in the same boat. Great GPA's, quality experience, great references, etc. I HONESTLY felt completely confident when comparing to others that were admitted. Maybe there truly were like a TON more applications this year or something. This really sucks!

You still have a shot!

Hi all! I got waitlisted and hate the fact that we don't know what number we are or when they would let us know if we got in or any other information. I'm definitely thankful to even be "considered" but it just feels like a soft denial lmaoooo like will they even let us know if we aren't accepted or will we just not hear back? Has anyone ever been admitted after being on UF's waitlist? 
 

for those who have been denied - keep your head up. I got denied a couple years ago when I applied and I tried again this for 2025. Everything will happen the way it's suppose to.  
 

Congrats to those who were accepted and good luck to those who are waitlisted 💜

Also denied for Peds Primary Care 😞

7 years of nursing experience with 6 of them being in PICU. I have charge experience and also assisted with the creation and manage the sedation/newborn programs. GPA 3.8

I'm just wondering what they're looking for? I'm sure there are even more qualified candidates than me but I know a nurse with 1 year experience who got in to this program a couple years ago...

I completely agree with this! I have very similar experience and felt somewhat confident in applying LOL so I'm also very curious

I got put on the waitlist for Peds Acute Care track. So disappointing. I would love to know how many people get accepted for each track? I'm just curious. Hoping for the best but I'm doubtful!
