USF applicants 2013

Published

Anyone applying to USF's (University of South Florida) nursing program?. I feel discouraged because I heard how competitive and rigorous it is.I have a 3.7 GPA. finished about half of my pre-reqs, got A's in all of my science courses. A B in statistics, ethics, and humanities:sarcastic:. I'm currently an ambassador at a community college and volunteering at a hospital. If those aren't good enough to get in the program I don't know what will lol. Is anyone here a USF nursing student? I would love to hear your experiences. I hope I can at least get into USF or my community college. If those fail..then it's off to Rasmussen or technical for me!!

1 week down!! I am getting more and more anxious to get that email! :) I really hope my essay is great but the longer I sit here and think about it the more I question myself :( Ugh I just want to know!!

Amen! You are not alone, I promise :nailbiting:

Hello all, although I am not applying to this program until January I was wondering if any of you had gone to a nursing seminar at usf? I am going to be applying to the 2nd degree seeking program. I will have obtained my BS in Psychology, and am currently a registered pharm tech for the past 2 years. I am curious if the nursing comittee looks up each applicants experience if mentioned in our application/ essay? I have a 3.5 overall and a 3.2 pre req gpa. I work full time and do coursework full time. Do my chances look favorable? I am inquiring :)

I have been to the info session back in March, and they food not mention looking into the applicants any further than the essay and the transcripts. I am not sure if they would even be able to do something like that. I would suggest really highlighting what you want them to know about you in the essay since that is how you can stand out :)

excuse the mistake as the autocorrect on my phone hates me! "they did not mention" not "food not mention"

What would everyone's plans for housing be in the event you get accepted?

@usfgirl I hope to find out I'm in before the 26th which is the day of general orientation. So while I'm down there I plan on looking for apartments in hopes to find roommates too and go from there

Oh I bet we will know before the 26th (or at least I hope). If I get accepted I will also be looking for an apartment. If I were to be in the program, I would hope to have roommates who are also in the program.

Hey guys! Just wondering if anyone knows how we would be finding out. I know they will e-mail but do you think the SOAR application will update as well?
