University of San Francisco BSN Fall 2021

Published

Hi everyone! I haven't seen a forum for USF FALL 2021 BSN yet, so I decided to make one so everyone can ask questions, encourage one another, and share stats!

I'm applying with:

Science GPA: 4.0

Overall: 3.91

Volunteer w/ letter of confirmation: 100+ hours

I'm not sure if they look into this, but:

- Bilingual

Good luck everyone! Feel free to comment below!

Ah okay! I thought about doing that however I saw that they limited the resume submission to one page so I thought my extra pages would be turned away. I'll probably add them anyway in case they are willing to look at them LOL

I'm sure they will look at it as long as it's just forms indicating you've worked/volunteered and proof of being bilingual.

Hi everyone! I am so happy I found this forum. ? I recently submitted my application (this is my first round) and I'm so anxious about it. I'm wondering what are your guys' stats? Mine is: 

- 3.97 overall GPA

- Working as Peer Instructional Leader (at my college) and Special Education Instructional Assist. (at an elementary school district)

- Volunteer at Crisis Text Line and Homecare Facility 

- AS Health Science (graduating this May with 2 other AA degrees) 

 

Do you think this should be enough? I didn't upload a letter of recommendation because the portal didn't have a portion of it. Also, I didn't put how many hours I've volunteered on my resume, I just listed them (since 1 page is max.)

Also, I'm trilingual (English, another language, and a dialect of that language) if that helps somehow.

Hello! Great stats ? For your volunteer gigs, attach a confirmation from a coordinator or program (if you want to prove the hours you've completed). Also, as for proving your knowledge on certain languages, also attach proof from work/volunteer place or school w/ verification signature from an authority figure.

Best of luck! I am submitting mine this week (also nervous!)

I'm applying with 4.0 prereq, 3.91 cumulative, 100+ direct patient care hours w/ letter confirmation, and a language proficiency certificate signed by principle.

Aside from stats, I think they really look at the applicant's essays according to past BSN students.

Best of luck! You have a good shot! ❤️

I just submitted my application! (I think) I submitted it, and it took me to my application status page. Was it like this for anyone else who applied? Did you guys/gals get a confirmation email on your submission? (I didn't get one yet).

Yes, I did. It's still quite pricey even with FAFSA for me. What about you?

Hey everyone! 

Just made an account to share my stats! I applied to the Hilltop campus.

Overall GPA: 3.66

Science GPA 3.50 (My school doesn't count pluses or minuses, but I did get 2 B's and 2 A's in my prerequisites)

250+ volunteer hours in a hospital setting

Current job is tutoring kids

(Hopefully good) essay about wanting to become a nurse educator!

Did you guys notice that they are sending out decisions mid-March, or am I just crazy? I remember reading online that they come out April 1st?
