Hey USFEli I am a upper division student at USF College of Nursing. I was accepted back in Fall of 2011. I will be graduating this August. Yay!!! Some stats on me I was admitted with a 3.9 overall GPA and close to that for pre rec GPA. I had some vo...

Actually upper division students entering this fall will be graduating in July of 2014. Second degree students will be graduating in December of 2013.

I am an upper division student, but I have heard from many second degree students that it has been extremely difficult because of the pace.

Are you thinking of applying for the upper division or second degree program?

i was accepted in the fall of 2011. my gpa at the time was 3.88. i had one b in the pre reqs. a 3.77 gpa is still competitive. remember acceptance is not only based off gpa overall, but also pre req gpa, personal statement, and resume. from what...

I rewrote parts of my personal statement. I knew I must have been close to being chosen the first time because I was on the alternate list.

No, they did not tell me why. They just sent me an email letting me know I was not accepted. I heard though they are accepting like 120 students this fall. I do not know if that is true. There is no classroom at the College of Nursing that can hold 1...

oh, i guess i should have been clearer. i am currently in the nursing program at usf. i was accepted in the fall of 2011. my gpa i think at the time of applying was 3.88. keep optimistic i did not get in the first time i applied.

Sounds like you have a good chance. What semester are you applying for?

I did my prereqs at a community college in Florida. I received my AA degree and then transferred to USF. I commute to USF. I live about 45 min north of the school. I have never lived on campus.

i suppose you are talking about the upper division bsn program. there is a second degree program that has a different schedule, but takes the same classes. i am in the upper division program. the classes are taught by multiple instructors. the classe...

stay hopeful everyone. last year i applied to usf and i am now enjoying the grueling experience of being a usf nursing student. it is worth the wait.

i am in usf's nursing program. i first applied back in the summer of 2011 and did not get in. i had a 3.8 overall gpa. i had only 1 b in my pre reqs other than that a's. i reapplied for the fall and was accepted. it is a very difficult program to get...

I am in the traditional bachelor’s degree program.

My best advice is that you make sure you answer all of the questions given in the instructions for personal statement. Take into consideration the sample curriculum and philosophy statement. Include a personal experience whether that is work, volunte...

All of the teachers have their different styles of teaching. This can make some teachers harder than others. The tests are hard but if you study you should be fine. Personally I think the hardest part is the grading scale. The grading scale for an A...

The classes are on Monday and Thursday. Lab is on Tuesday. Clinical is on Wednesday or Friday depending on which hospital you are with. Classes are very interesting. Some of the classes are taught by more than one teacher. Most of the classmates a...

Well they do not accept letters of recommendation for the BSN program. But this link should help you to know what they are looking for in your writing sample/personal statement. http://health.usf.edu/nocms/nursing/AdmissionsPrograms/Upper_Division...

My GPA is a 3.87. I have one B in my prerequisites. I live off campus with my parents (trying to conserve cost).

Hi I was accepted this fall to USF’s nursing program I think I might be able to help you with some of your questions. There are four parts that they look at to determine if you are USF material. They look at your overall GPA, prerequisite GPA, resume...

Sara don't give up hope. I was in the same situation in the summer and felt the same way as you do now. I applied for the summer and did not get in. In the meantime I took patho and finished my minor in public health. I applied again for the fall and...

My mom seems to think it has a lot to do with demographics, since not long ago the Supreme Court ruled that a public university may use demographics as long it does not account for a major portion of the admissions process.

I did not get in, I am on the alternate list . They wont tell you where on the alternate list you are though. So I will finish up my minor if I do not get in and try again next semester.

Hey DDoris I applied for upper division for summer of 2011 last week. I can't wait till they make a decision. My overall GPA is 3.9. I have one B in my prerecs. I volunteer at a hospital in patient care. I have also volunteered in other areas as wel...

Hey everyone thanks for your wonderful discussion posts. I have read all the way back to the first post. I applied to the upper division program for summer of 2011. Even though most of these posts have been for the accelerated program it still has re...
