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.
No reply I did ask him. Yeah me nervous too and the older threads from last year show that some of the transfer applicants have received their admits from Feb 22.
Ok I'll stop checking!! Lol I'm feeling so nervous tonight about it. I did a bunch of research and it seems as if last year for fall bsn transfer students they received good news sat march 8 for the most part. That means that if this year is on the same timeline we should hopefully hear a week from Saturday.
I have a question. I know most/all of you guys are transfer students so I don't know if you know the answer, but any idea what USF's policies are on grades after being accepted? I assume you can't fail or get D's in any classes or risk getting un accepted, but are Cs ok in your second semester of senior year? I'm really struggling in ap statistics... I've never got a C before but I'm worried I might and it could risk my enrollment.
So I saw they posted they will be offering a bsn program at their Sacramento campus starting fall 2015. I'm wondering if this means they will be admitting more people??
I hope they can!!! I'm not sure if you have to apply directly to that Sacramento campus though. Seems weird though bc it wasn't an option when I applied so I wonder how they would start in the fall without transferring some there. I really hope this opens up more spots!!!!
