USF applicants 2013

U.S.A. Florida

Anyone applying to USF's (University of South Florida) nursing program?. I feel discouraged because I heard how competitive and rigorous it is.I have a 3.7 GPA. finished about half of my pre-reqs, got A's in all of my science courses. A B in statistics, ethics, and humanities:sarcastic:. I'm currently an ambassador at a community college and volunteering at a hospital. If those aren't good enough to get in the program I don't know what will lol. Is anyone here a USF nursing student? I would love to hear your experiences. I hope I can at least get into USF or my community college. If those fail..then it's off to or technical for me!!

This is a little off topic, but I received my financial aid award package today and I received mostly loans. I believe IF I were to get into USF I would have to take out quite a bit of loans. I only received the pell grant and an assistance grant. The rest is subsidized and unsubsidized loans. Anyone else on the same boat? Are there any scholarships available?

OMG, my stomach totally dropped when I saw that SOAR emailed me lol. It was only to confirm that my prerequisites have been met and my status has been changed to COMMITEE. Now time for the wait.:whistling: If I get in I'll be so excited and honored but if I don't get the chance..well it is what it is...:up:. I'm going to wait to hear from USF before making any big moves about loans, immunizations and etc.

Awesome!! I know how you feel, we are all anxious and hopeful. I applied only two days ago so I didn't get the email yet. I bet seeing that pop up in your inbox gave you a giant heart attack.. Haha. Good luck to you :)

I applied to the USF upper division for Fall 2013 when it opened and I got an email two weeks ago saying my home campus was not the Tampa Campus and that I had to change that. I turned in a campus declaration change to change from USF St. Petersburg Campus to the USF Tampa campus on May 21,2013, and I was so nervous because it was already May 29, 2013 and my campus still wasn't changed! I called them and they said they would get it done that day by the end of day but I checked and my home campus was still St.Pete. I then called them on May 30th and told them I needed it done asap and the lady said she would get it all done by that day. I was checking every hour and it was finally changed before the deadline! I was so happy. I then emailed in the SOAR discussion that my home campus was changed to the Tampa campus and I got a reply the following day (May 31,2013 the deadline)that said this ...Thank you for updating your campus, we will continue to review your application. I was so happy because I thought I wouldn't make the deadline. I hope to get a reply from them soon, I'm super nervous. I'm also out of the country so it's super hard to communicate with the school. My cumulative GPA is 3.47 and for prereq I have all A's and 2 B's. Anyone know my chances of getting in since my cumulative GPA isn't as high as others....I'm really hoping I get accepted. I'm super nervous!

I know what you mean. I'm also applying out of the country (for 2014) and communication is beyond difficult!

So I totally don't mean to just add myself into the conversation, but I've been watching this thread for a bit now and have also applied to the program for Fall 2013, so I signed up for this site and wanted to share in the excitment. I've just completed my 6 straight semesters of my AA degree with a 3.95 GPA and am taking that much needed break for summer....all except I can't relax waiting on this application!!! That essay had me questioning everything for the whole month of May, now June will be chewing off all of my nails! lol

Well I hope you all get in and we can all meet during orientation :)
