I wanted to start a forum for those who applied to University of San Francisco BSN nursing fall 2018. I just finished my application and submitted all my documentation last week. I am very nervous but extreamly excited to find out if I am accepted. USF is my dream school. Let's stick together in this as we anticipate our answers!
My statistics:
Transfer student from Diablo Valley College
3.55 pre-req GPA
3.75 overall (76 credits)
150 hours volunteer service at John Muir Center for Recovery
50 hours volunteer service at Northbrook nursing home
Phi Theta Kappa honor society member
Alpha Gamma Sigma honor society member
4-H member 13 years
My personal statement was a creative short story of my first experience with community service at age 8 and my care for a family member after they had a severe stroke.
From what I was told by an admissions counselor was that there would be several rounds of decisions going out. The first would be rejections for those who didn't meet GPA or class requirements. Second, there would be the main round of acceptance letters which I was told would be by end of this week. The final round would basically be acceptance/rejection letters for those who didn't receive a letter during the the main round of acceptances; basically letters sent out to students who were put on the waitlist.
That's really helpful, thank you for letting us know!
I volunteered at John Muir with over 150 hours. I also volunteered at the Bay Area Crisis Nursery for over 60 hours. I am from Concord CA but transfering from SFSU!
Congratulations on your acceptance! So exciting. Do you live in the SF area? I am from above Sacramento and I still have heard nothing. The wait is killing me!
Hey guys, I emailed a counselor and she said they will be sending the first round of decisions this week and the second round of decisions during the first week of May.
Current student here. Good luck on getting accepted! Hopefully you have all been applying to many different programs! My biggest regret is that I only applied to USF and didn't wait to finish my prerequisites and apply to a state school. If you have any questions about the program let me know!
Hey @SFnursetobe12! Thanks for joining. What year are you are in at USF? This semester I only applied to USF but if I don't get in I will be applying everywhere. How do you like the program?
