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 just got off the phone with someone from undergrad admissions and she said nursing decisions still have not been made and the decisions will be sent via mail. I asked if she had any idea when they'd be out and she said unfortunately she doesn't have a timeline. It's been almost 4 months now since I've applied..... this is getting frustrating.
At this point I wouldn't be surprise if we don't hear back until May!! My husband had to pay to hold his spot at USD because USC was taking forever to get back to him!! This sucks! Puts a damper on things for me and have to decide if I need to sign up for class at the community college in the fall because The only school I applied for
