USF MSN Entry Level in Orange County Spring 2016

haniasm · Dec 17, 2015

Hi! I also applied to Orange County at USF for Spring 2016. Have you heard anything yet? I submitted all my application materials November 24th!

awesome! I actually received my admissions letter earlier this month. I hope you hear great news from them soon! :)

Oh, I haven't checked my mail. I didn't know whether or not they are sending it through email, mail, or via a phone call. I'll have to check my mail more often then!

Congratulations by the way!!! (:

Thanks! I received a call and a letter, the status on the online application will change too. :) Good luck!

Oh I see, well then mine is indeed still being reviewed! Hehe, if you don't mind me asking, what do you specifically like about USF? Or what do you think are some of their pros compared to other schools offering the same kind of program?

For me, USF has great reputation, the CNL program has been successful for a number of years in SF, I've had alumni recommend the program, it's offered in Orange which wont require me to move, it has a partnership with St. Joseph's Hospital for clinicals (literally next to the campus), the cohort will be small (which I prefer), and it's a 2 years-6 semesters program. The only other comparable program in the same area is Western, but Western will cost more, it's a 3 years-9 semesters program, and the last years are online (not my preference even though it can be convenient).

What do you guys think? I am now on the waitlist for the main campus, but I am willing to go to OC if I have to. Should I send in my application this week if possible, even though I am on the waitlist up here in the Bay Area?

I would call them, you might be able to simply transfer your application to the OC applicant pool instead of reapplying. :)

I received an email mid November stating application deadline was Dec. 1st or accepting applications until program was full.

I sent my application in Nov. 24 and online my application status says "application under admission review."

I am going crazy and constantly looking at my email, phone, snail mail....is anyone else still waiting? If you did already get your acceptance letter when did you apply?

Oh yeah, hahahaha. I sent mine in Nov 24th as well - or rather, my recommendation providers completed their letters on Nov. 24th. Everything else was sent in earlier than those. Mine still says under admission review. Good luck! I would imagine the school may be contacting applicants for the SF campus who are waitlisted and asking them if they would like to be considered for the OC campus.

I agree with Western being a bit steep on the tuition and costs. I actually have an interview with Western in January.

Given the timeframe that USF-OC had to consider applicants for Spring 2016 (2 months), I don't imagine they had a lot of time to schedule any interviews and are probably having a hard time choosing from the applicant pool.
