Hi USFRN2B,

You sound just like me! :) I also applied to SMU for Transfer from a community college for Spring 2011. I did not get into SMU, but I was accepted into USF. Now, I am in my first semester at USF, however, I also have to wait until Spring 2012 to start my clinicals. So, I decided to apply to SMU for a transfer for Fall 2011. I am hoping I get in this time because like you said, it is shorter and I cannot wait to start working already! I did okay on my TEAS - 85. I wanted to retake them again since I was applying again, but the counselor at SMU told me not to. So what are u taking at USF right now? I am only in one nursing class - NURS 120 and some other GE classes. Btw, did you hear anything from SMU? Like confirmation that they received and started reviewing the app? I haven't heard anything from them yet.

hi guys, congrats on getting accepted to usf spring 2011. my boyfriend actually got in at the same time and is probably taking courses with you both. if you don't mind me asking, what were your stats at the time of your application to usf? im anticipating applying in the fall and i'm getting anxious at the thought!

thanks and gl with smu!

Kha 2,

I think USF is pretty lenient about stats when you apply since you have a whole year to take other courses before you actually start the 3 year nursing program. As long as you have 3.0, you are okay. They do not require TEAS.

Nop, nothing yet. Last I heard from them, they said we would hear about their decision after June 1st because they are waiting to see how many people from their feeder schools will be transferring for the fall. Depending how many more spots they will have available they will accept the transfers like us ;(

hey guys,

so has anyone heard anything yet?!

I am starting to grow very anxious. all the grades from the feeder schools have been posted on the 27th, so SMU is deciding as we speak probably!!!!

I hope we all get in! good luck! and please post if you hear anything from them :)

So has anyone heard anything from SMU? I still have not heard anything and I am beginning to fear that a rejection letter is on its way in the mail.... did anyone get accepted yet?

Good luck to you!
