<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am a student at WVU and I just switched into pre-nursing here. I am going to apply in the Fall for their Spring 2015 semester. I am currently a sophomore. I changed my major kind of late already. By the time I apply I will have 60 credits. however i messed up my freshman year and my gpa is 3.27... however i still need to take classes in order to finish my pre-recs for nursing. I need to take one full year of pre-recs before I can try to apply for the nursing program. ucf told me that i can apply in the fall and if i get accepted i can finish my pre-recs during the spring at ucf. if you look at my transcript you can see a huge improvement of my grades and you can see that i am truly focused on school and becoming a better student. if i do get all a's or even one b i will hit a 3.4 by the end of the fall semester. i know that a 3.5+ is more competitive for nursing. but i just would like to know </p>
<ol>
<li>do i have a chance? i heard the nursing program is a bit competitive</li>
<li>when should i apply? i was thinking i should apply in August so I can find out Sept/Oct, since most people say they take one to two & half months to tell you if youre in or not</li>
<li>how is the nursing program there at ucf anyway (if you know)</li>
</ol>
<p>also i have shadowed at my hospital once but i am registered to shadow again this semester and also for next semester. i 350 hours hours of community service but i am doing way more, i want to hit 700 this fall coming up. i had experience with working in a hospital for three months because i was in a program. </p>
<p>i know its not a lot to offer but i am definetely trying to make a difference now that i am older.</p>
<p>pleasee respond! </p>
