Hi everyone, I'm creating a thread for the prospective students applying to the fall 2016 SFSU ELMSN program. It would be great to see the stats of fellow cohorts for the program!

Hi @tkretsch, I'm so sorry to hear that. Please do not lose hope! I know how you feel. I am no expert but I will try giving you advice that I have used in my own application and have read elsewhere. First of all, look on the USF website and read abou...

They actually called me, but I'm pretty sure you can just try giving a call to the school of nursing and ask to speak with someone who knows your status!

Hi guys, I just got a call this afternoon telling me that I've been put off the wait list and admitted :)

I called and they said that wait list people should start hearing something by the end of this week.

Thank you for letting us know @stasha_nicole :)

Has anyone on the waitlist heard any news yet?

My status is still "to be reviewed". And I have no idea about letters, I did not receive anything for being wait listed. I only found out by getting in touch with Ingrid. But I do believe you should be receiving a letter in the mail if you are accept...

I really am losing my sanity! I hope we hear by this Friday! Just curious, how were your guys' GPAs and health care experience?

@Ncbaut, are there other USF fall 2016 forums? I wasn't able to find any others. They were all University of South Florida

Hey guys, Has anyone heard anything back from USF? This coming Friday marks exactly 8 weeks since the deadline, and is when we should be hearing back (hopefully). I heard that people who are accepted usually hear first than those declined

@stasha_nicole I'm taking anatomy lab over summer because my university doesn't offer anatomy with lab for pre nursing students. I called USF yesterday and they said it'll be another 2 weeks (ish) until they start giving out answers

Hey guys, I applied as well. I hear USF really looks at personal statement and references, since the personal statement is kind of like an "interview". Can I ask what were your guys' GPAs and what not? I noticed USF doesn't ask for some pre reqs tha...

I was just wait listed for pediatrics... 15/20. Pretty upset about that. But congrats to those who were accepted! What were your guys stats if I may ask? I think my weakness was my lack of adequate patient care experience.

@bellanoche86 I 100% agree with you! I appreciate the humor :) How do you feel like you did on the interview though?

@bellanoche86 I feel like i did just "okay". I definitely could have improved some of my answers and a question caught me off guard... Honestly don't know what to expect at this point. I have been so nervous all week and I'm mentally preparing myself...

Hi, I got an interview and my stats were GPA in the last 60 units: 3.8-3.9 (not quite sure the exact GPA, but somewhere between that) GRE writing: 4.5 Health experience: 200+ hours volunteering at county hospital I didn't have too much health experi...

Hey guys, does anyone have any ideas as to what kind of questions will be asked during the interview? I'm incredibly nervous !

Hey guys I also got an email today around 2 pm !! My interview date is on Monday April 4. Best of luck to you all! According to the email, it seems that the worst case scenario for those who are interviewed is getting put on the wait list. This is go...

Hey guys, has anyone received any news of an interview yet? This waiting is killing me. Unless I'm just not considered for admissions, that is.

Nope, I have been refreshing my email all day! I can't wait any longer. I called the SFSU nursing department like 6 times today but no one answered. Im assuming that if I don't receive news of an interview, It automatically means I'm rejected...

Totally understand how you feel. I've been so stressed about this. It just really sucks that i've worked so hard up to this point and it could all be ruined because of some insiginificant administrative issues. Best of luck to all of you

HI guys, i had a problem with the transcript situation as well. NursingCAS wrongly scanned my transcript to another person so i was waiting anxiously for about 3-4 weeks for them to receive it. I called endlessly and finally it was received. However,...

That's quick! I just sent another transcript. Hopefully they get it soon. Really hope we all get in. Now the anxiety and waiting game begins haha

Hey guys, has anyone sent their official transcripts to NursingCAS yet? I sent mine over 2 weeks ago and NursingCAS still hasnt received it. This is worrysome:nailbiting: Im afraid it was lost in the mail or something
