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.
Yeah, the admissions letter has information to grant you access to the evaluation of what transferred. You don't need to accept before being able to look at the degree evaluation.
Congrats to everyone that got in!!! :-) Although I just got my acceptance letter in the mail today, I might not take it. I was anticipating a response a long time ago and was planning my living arrangements around it; unfortunately, I might end up choosing another college because of this delay. If I do finalize my decision, I hope my spot will give hope to those who are on the waiting list. :-) God Bless and best of wishes to everyone :-)
