I applied for the USF nursing program as a transfer student for fall of 2016. I was looking at the form someone created last year of fall 2015 and it seemed to be very helpful to those who are applying and waiting for an answer, likewise as myself.
My GPA is not too high but I have tons of volunteering and work experience. I am really nervous to hear back from them.Has anyone heard back from USF already? and if so what are your stats?
@tay_87 they admit 120 freshmen (from high school) each year. The transfer rate varies each semester I think depending on how many spots become available for various reasons.
@futurenorcalnurse ok thanks so basically the freshman wouldn't need to complete the major requirements prior to starting the program, I'm so confused. I spoke with a counselor about a month ago and she said major requirements must be completed.
@tay_87 correct. Incoming freshman have their core classes mixed in with their nursing courses starting sophomore year. The program is set up for incoming freshmen. It's not the best situation for transfers that's why they have the 4+1 program for transfers. Did a USF counselor tell you you needed the major requirements done? Because that wasn't the case for my cohort. PM me if you have more questions!
for some reason it won't let me send you a PM. I finished my major requirements she said all students will need to complete the major requirements (science courses) + the nursing 100 courses before doing any clinical work.
I contacted admissions and second round decisions will be notified within a week or so. That being said, the first round decisions have already been made, and the amount of students they admit for the second round is dependent upon the number of first round students that accept admission to USF. So, there is a chance that a small number of applicants will be accepted to the second round. They are highly suggesting to take other options at this point. Just wanted to give an update!
Still haven't heard anything back yet.. From the looks on last years forum I think some people were still being admitted till june or july. Kinda shady how they said everything would be sent out by april 1st.

Yes I agree! I wish they created a wait list so we could get an idea of our chances.
Hey guys! A friend and I are looking for some people to room with for this upcoming school year and we would love to room with some fellow nurses! If you are interesting please message me back!
Just wanted to say that I got an email today regarding my acceptance! I'm assuming that I got admitted for the second round! I can't PM anyone due to my "inactivity," but if anyone is looking for housemates, I am more than willing to work something out!
