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.
Hi! Been reading the thread and finally decided to make an account!! The deadline to commit is May 1st however, it states on the website that if you get your acceptance past May 1st you have two weeks to commit so technically we could get our letters after May 1st which is super frustrating. My friend (not a nursing major) didn't get accepted into USF last year until end of June! It's so annoying because I'm sure people who got into other schools have to commit to them to hold their spot even though they don't know whether or not they got into USF, just to be safe. Sorry rant over:no:
Omg wow!!! The only thing is that they did say by April 1 we would know. So it has to be kinda close to then right? I'm just so thrown off because in looking into previous years they all knew by now for sure.
