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.
Steph, it worked twice to me now but she replies when you send her email before 8 am. Probably because she's not yet busy at that time so yeah. But I suggest to call her, even if she's that busy.
I got an email from Kate "If you remain interested in a fall 2015 admission to the VANAP/ BSN program at our Sacramento campus,you may ask that we change your application type. I will love to know how the program works before making any decision.
@ Mary, I can't send u a private message. Is there anyway else I can do that, let me know. I don't use the site often, just saw ur message right now! Am so so sorry
Has anyone heard anything else? I know they were saying more decisions would be made after June 1st, but we're getting on for halfway through June here, and there don't seem to be any more decisions one way or the other
No nothing! I never received a rejection letter, a response to any of my emails, nothing. I'm kind of disappointed in them honestly. Luckily I got into another program but the stress and emphasis I put on this one to never even hear a thing really bothers me. I guess that's how it is though.
steph where were you admitted? I know it kinda disappoints me too that their admission team does not help at all. Very unorganized and discourteous knowing that they are a private university.
Yes and with the cost of the school you would think it would be so much better. Also their mission and what they stand on does not coincide with the way they treat people apparently in admissions. I got into chabot which I think honestly is a blessing in disguise. I had no idea it's an immediate BSN(why I didn't want to go to community college) and the cost is just 5-7k total so graduating without any loans will be amazing.
Congratulations and I wish you the best! Study hard, you deserve that admission! í ½í¸Š yep it is a blessing you don't have to worry about loans after graduation anymore
