I created this thread for anyone who applied/applying/got accepted to USF BSN or program. If anyone has any insight, words of wisdom, or anything else that might be useful, it would be much appreciated. Here is a little info about myself to kick this off...
I am currently living in the SF bay area and Im finishing off a few courses before I transfer to a 4 year college next semester. I applied for USF's BSN fall 15 program and here are some of my STATS:
*Academics: I have a 3.8 in my prereqs and a 3.5 (overall) GPA.
*Experience/Volunteer Work: I am a Army veteran with 8 years of experience in health care. ( I have worked in the ICU & ER, at Brooke Army Medical Center for about 6 months. Went on several humanitarian missions which consisted of providing medical aid to rural communities in developing countries. I've also done a tour in Afghanistan, working in a combat support hospital.)
* Personal statement: Writing has never been my strong suit... :-/.. but I wrote it in story format (based on my deployment) and how the values of the military compliment USF's core values.
*Letter of Recommendation: My human anatomy instructor (PhD)
Lastly, I'll keep everyone posted on my application status if any future students want to use this thread as a point of reference.
I will look for the link one second. I was told only to update my transcript so I did. I was also told they take extra consideration for those applying again so that's good news for you!!! Praying for us all.
Omg no stay postive!!! It has the best reputation for not focusing on one specific area of an applicant. They are very well rounded so no need to lose hope.
I might call on Monday to see if all of the admission letters have been sent out or if it's just freshman. Like I said eariler, when I check my application on the web portal, my application still says:
"The Office of Admissions is processing your application. If you are submitting additional materials, please allow extra time for those to be processed and check this website periodically for updates."
Not sure if they just haven't updated it yet or if they're sending out acceptances in waves.
