blue I am in the same position as you: coming out of community college with no degree. The costs is high as any other private school is but there are lots of grants and scholarships for nursing students; plus, I want a job and USF has a great reputation for new hire grads.

I believe the Micro is a 5 unit for semester, 6 unit for quarter system, at least at my quarter system college it is.

FYI USF and UCSF are like across from each other. I would apply to USF, Samuel Merit, etc. but 50k a year is wayyyy too much.

I was going to apply for fall 09, but missed the deadline for the university application. If I don't get into a program this fall I will be making sure I have all the deadlines down in my calendar so i don't miss them. I will be applying to USF as well as as many schools as I can. I NEED to get in a program already...it's driving me crazy!!!

average gpa for the prereqs is 3.5-3.6. they consider the application letter as well, so sometimes if gpa is lower usf considers your reasons for wanting to become a nurse as a factor when choosing you into the program.

Hi all! I put in my application for USF about a week ago for spring 2010 admission. I'm not really sure how to calculate my pre-req GPA as I'm not sure if the "co-reqs" count (Nutrition, Socio, etc.) in the calculation. Plus, I have a 5 semester unit Micro class IP right now. I took a 4 unit one about 2 years ago and earned a B. I'm not exactly sure if that counts, but if it does, AND we calculate ALL pre-reqs and coreqs, I have a 3.78. If not and we only calculate the 4 main ones (Anat, Phys, Micro, Psych) and it includes my 4 unit Micro (B) I have a 3.76. If it counts the 5 unit Micro I'm really not sure how to calculate that since it's IP. I do have a strong 98% in that class so I'm sure I'll get an A, but I just don't know how it'll work :)

Anyway, I also have volunteer work, CNA experience, and a strong letter of rec. Does anyone know my chances? Thanks!!

Bluechick, why did you take another Micro? I remember you posting a while back, the Microbiology course at USF is only 4 units.

I think your chances of getting in are great, but be prepared to possibly be offered admission, but not be able to start your clinicals for another semester or two...they have been doing that a lot lately.

I took another Micro to 1) increase my GPA and 2) HSU needs it and I also applied there for spring 2010 admission! :)

Thanks for the insight. I did hear they're admitting students and then telling them they can't start until a semester or two later. Ick. But at this point...I'd probably just accept it!
