University of North Florida Regular BSN Fall 2015

Published

Hi! I am applying for Fall 2015 at UNF. I just took the TEAS this morning and added up my score to 352.6. My prerequisite GPA is 3.96 with an overall GPA of 3.93. Anyone else applying? Are there any current students out there who have recommendations? I was wondering if I should maybe take the TEAS again just to bump up my score just a little bit more. Opinions help!

So the interview is next week, how's everybody feeling about it?! I know I've tried to prepare a little but I can't help but be nervous still!

It's okay to be nervous! Remember it's a group interview and everyone is nervous, the interviewers expect it. Try and get to know you're group members and their names while you wait and you will feel more comfortable.

How did everyone do?

I ended up getting wait-listed. I'm fairly bummed out, but I'm trying to stay positive!

I heard it's common to get a call-back from the wait-list. It'd be nice to know how many people have accepted their invites and how many have dropped out.

I had a friend who was waitlisted during the summer and they called her about two weeks after the interview. Don't give up hope! Just be ready if they do call. If that call doesn't come, definitely reapply. I know how you feel. I was in your position this past summer. Actually, I got denied. I reapplied for Fall (I retook my TEAS and bumped my points up by 20) and got offered an accelerated spot. Good luck.

I truly believe it was the TEAS that held me back. It was my first time taking it and I got an 80% on it. When I found out the average score was more in the 85-90 range I was a bit put-off. Pre-req gpa was 4.0 and I dont know what they gave me for the interview (but I thought it went pretty well actually).

Just imagine when you think you're going to get that acceptance letter and it says wait-list. My heart broke a little bit that morning haha!

Thanks for the positive thoughts! Ms. Dibble mentioned that those who were offered a seat must RSVP by the 1st. So I'm expecting those who are torn to drop out. Let's just hope I'm high up on the list =)

voxy989,

I know it's tough to keep a positive outlook on things but you still do have a shot. It's not the end of the world if you don't get into UNF this fall. If you want to be a nurse bad enough, you'll make it happen. You got an interview slot and that is a HUGE accomplishment considering how competitive UNF is. The TEAS score is worth 35% of your overall score; that's a big chunk. If UNF is your only choice, look into how you can improve overall to be more competitive for next summer. Definitely retake the TEAS as many times as you can to get your score up. DON'T GIVE UP!!

I also was wait listed. I had a 314 TEAS with only taking it once, 3.96 prereq, and I'm almost positive I rocked the interview. I feel like the TEAS was also my down fall. Just keeping my fingers crossed through out the next coming weeks.

Nothing here yet either! Yesterday was the day everyone was suppose to give her a "Yes" or "No" in response to their invites. So I'd imagine we'll see a few more people taken off the wait-list now.
