USF Non-RN MSN Fall 2016

Published

Hi there! I thought I would start a thread for anyone applying to University of SF for the Non-RN MSN program for Fall of 2016. I haven't seen any threads (that I know of). I was not accepted to the Summer 2016 cohort, so I thought that it may not hurt to try again. I heard the Orange County campus is a little easier to get in, but not sure about this. It would be nice to see everyone's stats as well!

Good luck to us all!

Hi! I am applying; I actually applied for Summer 2016 in SF but was rejected as well. I couldn't call to get an answer why other than they had a lot of applicants in this last pool so they turned away a lot of us? Either way, the lady I spoke with suggested to apply to the Fall 2016 cohort in OC, since it's less competitive but to still improve my application. I'm changing up my PS a little bit and also a rec letter.

Good luck to you as well! (:

It would be nice to know exactly what we had to work on, but I guess there's too may of us to respond to. Yes I heard that the OC cohort is less competitive as well. For some reason, the OC cohort threads don't really exist or get attention. I am also trying to better my PS and talk to my recommenders about my letters.

Hopefully more people will respond to this thread!

Hi, I also applied for Fall 2016! I applied to the Orange County campus being that I live in Southern California. I have been searching this site for anything on the Orange County MSN for Non-nurses with little luck! I found the thread for first cohort which was helpful though. I think it will be less competitive at this location since it is still so new, and less well known. The OC deadline was also extended from April 1st to April 15th. My guess is they are hoping to have a larger pool of applicants. Best of luck!

Yes, I just saw the extended deadline also! Only reason would be that there aren't enough applicants yet. Good luck to you as well!

Hi All, I applied to the USF Orange County cohort as well. I haven't heard much, do you know when decisions are supposed to be made?

Hello, nice to see another person in this forum! Looking through all the other forums it seems that a decision is made between a month and a 1/2 or 2. I'm so anxious for the decisions :arghh:

Hello all! On the website it says that they try to send out a response to applicants between 8-10 weeks after the deadline. Since the deadline was pushed back, I am guessing that brings us to mid/late June. I hope we all hear good news sooner than that though!

Hi everyone! I applied for the Fall 2016 MSN For non RNs in Orange as well. Im not sure if joining this thread is the best thing for my sanity, but it's just nice to see I'm not alone in all this anxiety! í ½í¸… My heart is racing just reading all the comments haha but good luck to us all!!!!

Hey guys, I applied as well. I hear USF really looks at personal statement and references, since the personal statement is kind of like an "interview".

Can I ask what were your guys' GPAs and what not? I noticed USF doesn't ask for some pre reqs that other nursing schools ask for such as critical thinking and chemistry. My undergrad GPA so far (im still in undergrad-graduating next month) is 3.73 and my pre req GPA is about a 3.8

@karenara your GPA is very high, I'm sure you'll be accepted

Hey so I know USF has extended their application period to the 15th, has anyone received any acceptance calls yet? I still have not heard from them.

We should be expecting calls and letters 8-10 weeks from deadline, so probably around middle of June! :/
