University of San Francisco Fall 2018 Applicants

[tessalynngarcia]

Hello everyone!

I wanted to start a forum for those who applied to University of San Francisco BSN nursing fall 2018. I just finished my application and submitted all my documentation last week. I am very nervous but extreamly excited to find out if I am accepted. USF is my dream school. Let's stick together in this as we anticipate our answers!

My statistics:

Transfer student from Diablo Valley College

3.55 pre-req GPA

3.75 overall (76 credits)

150 hours volunteer service at John Muir Center for Recovery

50 hours volunteer service at Northbrook nursing home

Phi Theta Kappa honor society member

Alpha Gamma Sigma honor society member

4-H member 13 years

My personal statement was a creative short story of my first experience with community service at age 8 and my care for a family member after they had a severe stroke.

I'm a bit discouraged because I reread the threads and it seems like everyone accepted received an acceptance through the portal before receiving their letters :/

I was thinking the same thing ... I was reading last years thread and it seems like they got a physical letter and didn't say anything about getting it through their portal..

[Dahlface]

Has anyone else gotten a portal update?

[stresssed_student]

I just checked my portal because I got an email stating that changes had been made to my application status, and it said I am accepted! I'm still waiting for the paper letter, and I hope this is an acceptance to the nursing program and not just a general acceptance to the university! I live in the Bay Area, so I'm assuming the physical letter should arrive soon.

Did it say your letter was sent before that?

[stresssed_student]

Did it say your letter was sent before that?

Yes, I checked my portal on May 30th and it said my decision letter was sent that day. I then got an email on June 1st saying that my application decision was available and on my portal it showed my acceptance with a pdf letter.

@stressed_student congratulations!!! The wait was worth it!

[tessalynngarcia]

Hey everyone! Still nothing on my end. I am still being considered at this point but I was not included in the last round so I'm still waiting unfortunately. Good luck everyone else!

[stresssed_student]

@stressed_student congratulations!!! The wait was worth it!

Thank you very much, my letter just came today! I'm sorry that they are making you wait even longer... I unfortunately will not be attending USF because I have already committed to another school. If I had gotten the acceptance earlier, there would have been a higher probability of me attending USF! I hope this will free a spot for anyone still waiting.

@stressed_student that's such a bummer! Well at least you got in somewhere. Good luck to you!

I still haven't received my decision yet. I'm getting worried that I haven't heard anything back from them. Has everyone received their letters?

[tessalynngarcia]

I still have not received my decision yet. I was told to email a counselor by the operations department, which I just did. I'm still holding out some hope.
