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.
Also @champ I know that you are not transfer and you may have answered this already sorry, but did you receive an email before the letter came in the mail?
Ok good to know! I just really hope we find out soon! I checked the year before last and they actually found out mid March lol so I guess either this weekend or next. It seems as if saturdays are the day. So nervous over here. Nobody has heard anything yet right?
Is possible to call the school to know whether we are accepted or not ? Since Usf can apply anytime you want and take 4-6 week to process the application. The prerequisite gap calculated is followed the list of USF science prerequisite or common nursing prerequisite?
You can try but when I have they tell me they cannot release that info over the phone(that was spring) but it's different for nursing since there are application deadlines. As for the gpa I think they look at both but you just have to make sure you have the prereqs done in order to apply as a transfer.
i think the most people who report their gap on this post is common nursing prerequisite but usf prerequisite only includes science course but no english composition, critical thinking and statistic
