Hey everybody,

I didn't see a thread yet for the Summer 2013 cohort for USF Masters Clinical Nurse Leader Program so I decided to make one. The application deadline is coming up and figured it would be great to meet fellow applicants and stress out together haha

Good luck guys!

Good luck to those still waiting! I really hope you receive good news soon :), and to those curious I submitted my application around mid January.

To everyone who has been notified so far, are you planning on accepting your offer? Lolibear, I see your from San Diego, are you accepting and what are your thoughts on making the move in such a short time frame?

@ Consss and JS88 I think it's very likely I'll be joining you in Frisco very soon! Very excited (and a little nervous ;) ) to start this new adventure and meet all of you! Sending good vibes to those of you still waiting, I know it's tough be stay positive but I really do believe everyone will end up at the school they're meant to go to :)

I also applied for the Summer CNL prog. Did not receive a phone call or an e-mail on Fri. Has anybody received a rejection (for lack of a better word at this moment) e-mail/other type of communication? Good luck to you all!! I'm still keeping my fingers crossed!!

@Madrid.navarro2sad8i - Hi! Yes, I am planning to accept the offer. I have been mentally preparing myself for the move just in case I got in. The main concern I have right now is my financial situation. I am just worried that since classes already start in a month that it might not be enough time to take care of loans. My undergrad and first master's (eee!) we're both paid for because I went to a U.C. school and was covered by the vet fee waiver (my dad was in the military) but since USF is a private school and much more expensive, I won't have the ability to use the waiver. I will most likely end up having to take out loans. I'm not sure how that whole process goes, and if anyone could give me pointers I'd really appreciate it! :)

To answer the question about when I turned in my app, it was mid-January for me.

Congrats to all of you who got in!! For those of you who have been accepted, would you guys mind giving a background of yourselves just so the rest of can get an idea of the people USF is accepting. Things like GPA, work experience, degrees, or anything else that you think made you stand out. I have a hunch I do not have enough clinical experience for this type of program so I'm really interested to see if that may be true.

Thank you to those of you who feel comfortable sharing!

For those of you still waiting to hear back, hang in there and good luck! =]

Hi Everyone!

I think this is my first post here, but I have been checking in on the thread from time to time. I got my acceptance phone call on Friday around 5. Excited!!!! Congrats to everyone else who got in! I can't wait to meet everyone! For those who haven't heard back, I'm crossing my fingers and toes for you all! Good luck and I know everyone will end up somewhere great. :)

@aggiepack177 - I have a B.A. in Public Health from UC Berkeley, 3.3 GPA, and volunteer experience at clinics serving low-income and underserved population and non-health related community service. I felt I didn't have much health-related experience as well because I actually never volunteered in a hospital before. Hope that helps a little.

@aggiepack177: I have a B.A. in Psychology. My undergrad GPA was 3.3 and the pre-req's I took after were 3.9. I've interned/worked with students who have disabilities and volunteered on and off at hospitals for several years in different departments (UCSF and SF General).

@ lolibear - If it makes you feel any better, I will also be primarily using student loans to pay for school, so I'm nervous about making sure I can work it all out before we start next month! Actually, after talking things over with my husband, financial aid is the thing I'm most concerned about.

Also, (kind of random, but...) does anyone know if the school holds a white coat ceremony prior to the start of the semester? I'm sure a lot of the stuff that's crossed my mind will be addressed in packet, but I thought I'd ask anyways ;)
