Ok statement done and app submitted!! Only problem is the formatting I used notepad as suggested and it still looked funky once the app was saved and submitted. Anyone else have this problem?????

1. Anyone applying to both accelerated and traditional?

2. Anyone already complete orientation and patho already? I have not done either and I am nervous about that. I know orientation opens up March 7th and hopefully I can make it to the one on the 25th

the formatting of my statement also messed up once i submitted my application. i emailed the nursing dept. about the issue, and i was told that when the applications are printed for review, they should revert back to their original format. the email also said that they are still working out the kinks in their new system, and if the statements don't print correctly, it won't be held against us. i was totally shocked after i submitted my essay and saw what it looked like in the system!

Is it Possible to get accepted into USF nursing program with an overall gpa of 3.4 and a nursing prereq gpa of 3.2?

@jazz - I haven't done orientation yet either. I attended previously but it was only for 2 weeks so I'm not sure if that makes me a returning student or not. Returning students are exempt from orientation.

@NR - the lowest overall GPA that was accepted last semester was a 3.1

Deadline is right around the corner! Only a few more weeks until we know our fates.

Hey everyone thanks for your wonderful discussion posts. I have read all the way back to the first post. I applied to the upper division program for summer of 2011. Even though most of these posts have been for the accelerated program it still has really helped me since the upper division program is becoming more like the accelerated program in terms of admission. This is the first semester that upper division applicants include a personal statement and a resume in their application. I can’t wait till we find out if we are in!

Hey I submitted my app and it's at Comittee as well. MY overall GPA is 3.59 and prerequisuite is 3.88. (That B in Sociology ****** me off) But I'm a little nervous since I don't have a nursing background. I was in the Army before I started going to school. Man it's going to be a tense couple of weeks waiting to see if I got in. I need this because I don't want to waste time at a 2year RN school. I'd much rather get the full BSN then further my education to NP,PA, or even MD.

So I was reading this thread from last year around this time and those that were accepted found out 3/22/10!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG that would mean tomorrow for us summer 2011 hopefuls. Good luck to us all
