Applying for USF Nursing eventually, advice on getting in?

Hi,

Last semester the acceptance process at USF has changed. It use to place a heavy emphasis on GPA. Meaning you were pretty guaranteed a spot with you GPA. The admission office now places a heavy emphasis on volunteer experience and the writing sample. I would recommend volunteering at a local hospital/clinic or getting your CNA license. Your golf experience also works in your favor because it shows you have great time managment. I know your time is limited but if you can fit in a few hours volunteering/working at hospital, it would greatly improve your chances of getting into USF's program. GPA still plays a deciding factor, but many people with high GPA (3.9) didnt get accepted this summer because they lacked experience or wrote a poor personal statement. Hope this helps :)

Volunteer, volunteer, volunteer! Get as much healthcare experience as you can! Your perfect GPA will help you a lot, but you can make yourself into an even better candidate by improving your resume. Perhaps join a nursing or medical-related group at your school?

Best of luck!
