University of San Francisco Fall 2015 BSN Program

Published

Hello everyone!

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 submitted my application yesterday 1/15/15)

Good luck to everyone!!

Thank you for calling

But I'm guessing we'll be notified by email since it says everyone will know by May 1st. I mean right? Feeling like I applied for the wrong semester. Ahhhh

I still think it will be by mail. The head person emphasized it wouldn't be by email.

I'v been following this long enough in silence and now is as good of a time as any to jump in on the discussion. I ended up submitting my intent to enroll at Chico State for exercise physiology last night, so I can have an earlier registration date for classes. I will still be tempted if I am accepted at USF. If not I plan to apply to a few schools for their nursing programs starting in spring 2016, as I work towards my B.S. at Chico.

Best of luck to all in the coming week, as we inevitably check for mail compulsively.

I also had to accept another university although I don't know if I got into their nursing program but my back up plan is to just get the bs and then do either the Accelerated BSN when you already have a bs at merit or usf actually offers a second bachelors rn masters type thing. I just really don't want to have to do that and usf is my top choice. Ugh I just hope it all works out for all of us.
