Guys!! I got my acceptance to the program today, I was on the alternate list. I sent my request to join the fb group can someone add me?

Hey guys, for those that applied to the USF ABSN program for the Tampa campus anyone else got waitlisted or selected as an alternate for admission? Unfortunately, I'm on the alternate list and anxious about it. I know in previous years people have been accepted from the alternate list but in the email they mentioned that they are not able to tell us our ranks which is bugging me. Anyone know more information about this or have friends that got in from being waitlisted? Good luck to everyone on the list!

Ty for letting me know, that's reassuring! Goodluck to everyone else!

I got an email too, I got put on the alternate list so basically waitlisted ?

? Anyone wanna call and ask when they are sending out decisions?

this is making me anxious, I wish we knew the time they would send out decisions

That's my exact thought process too LOL and IDK if the $35 is refundable or not. Honestly, I don't think 1 week is gonna make a big difference with the orientation filling up. Maybe I'll register, and that's me manifesting I get accepted

Yeah, I got an email from the office of admissions to register for orientation like basically complete the tasks under myBullsPath, but I know it has nothing to do with the college of nursing at least that's what I think. It's orientation for the school

Has anyone registered for orientation with the school? Like there's a mandatory orientation with USF for all incoming students.

I know, I wished we would find out sooner since some of us are from out of town and need to find housing. I don't want to scramble last minute haha

I'm pretty sure all decisions are sent out by the 24th, if not hopefully sometime earlier than that. At least that's what it says in the email.

Guys it's finally March meaning we will get our acceptance decision in 3 weeks! I feel like we've been waiting for ages LOL, but if anyone hears back sooner let us know. Good luck to everyone!

Hey! I don't think your undergrad GPA is terrible because people have probably gotten accepted into their program with a similar GPA, but I know USF is pretty competitive like many other nursing programs. Unfortunately, USF doesn't take extracurriculars into consideration like healthcare experience because applicants are only evaluated on their undergrad GPA, prerequisite GPA, and interview. I wished they did consider our past experiences since most of us do have healthcare experience or work in the field already, but they don't ://

I haven't come across any issues accessing my application portal/myBullsPath but maybe you can reach out to the admissions office and see if they can help you. They are usually pretty responsive

I got verified pretty quickly on NursingCAS probably because it was already verified before I applied to USF when I was applying to other schools, but it shouldn't take them more than 2 weeks to verify it. Interviews are never fun haha, but what really helped me prepare for it was practice answering possible questions they might ask and doing a mock interview with someone. I asked my friend to do a mock interview with me and that definitely calmed my nerves for the actual interview. Good luck!
