USF Master's Entry CNL - Spring 2010

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I just applied to USF (CA) CNL program for the non-nurse. Has anyone else applied? Or does anyone know their admission statistics from last spring?

Thanks for the words of encouragement, fromthasco! Congratulations on getting in after all of your hard work! Did you take a CNA class to strengthen your application? I am just wondering what else I can do? Someone had suggested to take a CNA class if I don't get in. Thanks everyone, and good luck to all of us on the waitlist. I did search some of the threads from the previous years, and found one in which someone said they had actually gotten rejected and then got a call offering her a spot. Let's just hope some people who got accepted decide to not go.

One of the things I have learned through all my years of applying is "its never fair". Ive had many friends who used to copy my pre req work, with substantially lower gpas get in a program. And stories of first time applyers without the experience get in...

It's just how it goes.

no cna certification for me. a little about me...

im just graduating from SF State this semester in Health Education, magna cum laude. I have been a hearing specialist for infants in the nbicu at cpmc for 3years, part time at cfhc doing social marketing research and develpment for online sex education websites for youth, and tutoring youth in the tenderloin and bayview.

I agree with fromthasco. It's a total crapshoot. I know people who submitted goal statements with typos to UCSF and they got in. I've met UCSF students who are absolutely brilliant and were denied TWICE. It's totally arbitrary. This is my second time applying to nursing schools (first time for USF...hoping to get in Summer 2010) and I feel discouraged but I do believe that everything happens for a reason.

Don't let it impact your self esteem. I'm sure you're all qualified. Programs are impacted and everyone wants to go into nursing. Just think of how sweet it will be when you finally get that acceptance letter and you can feel satisfied knowing it was well earned.

I know. It is a total crapshoot from what I've heard, too. There are SO many qualified applicants, and it makes you wonder if they just pick out of a hat at some point! LOL. Seriously, though, it is frustrating, but we have to move forward and be persistent. Fromthasco, I am assuming you got tired of applying and getting nowhere, so that is why you went forward with the Health Ed degree? That was really smart of you. Well, I hope we all can join you this Spring. The good news is that Samuel Merritt's ABSN program in San Mateo starts this January. I am assuming some people applied to both schools, so hopefully some of the accepted students decide to go there. I did hear that a lot of people from the waitlist tend to get in. It would be nice to know what number we are, though. For all I know I could be 25 and not have a chance at all. I guess I will have to have patience for the next couple of weeks!

For those of you who got in, thanks for taking the time to give the rest of us info/tips.

Hey everyone,

I know this thread may not be followed anymore considering its 1 year later... but I plan to apply for the ME-CNL program for Spring 2012 and I was just wondering how you all like it at USF so far. I would love to know if you think the program is as great as I have heard it is. Please respond if you have time! Thanks!
