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.
Kate emailed me again saying "At this time we have sent letters of admission to as many persons as possible for fall 2015. Those students have until the end of May to accept their admission. More notices of admission status will be mailed next week. "
However she also offered me if I am considering to go to their branch in Sacramento. I told her I would still wait for the one in San Francisco but if all else fails, I'll accept the offer. I just don't really want another huge loan for the housing, and USF's tuition is not cheap at all.
I haven't heard of that program. I actually got accepted into another one and waiting on a few more. I just wanted to go to usf. It's ok though I'm starting to come to peace with it. Thanks for the info though!!!
But I still want a letter. I paid $50 and expect a response. Lol. *sigh*
