USF Nursing requiremnets

Make sure you have a "bomb " essay, the essay is what truly determines your acceptance into the program. I'm a current USF nursing student myself. Also, don't put all of your eggs in one basket. Apply where you can ..good luck on your journey !!

Hi lenaanthony!

I am in the same boat as you, but for the graduate program! I hear it is pretty competitve so I agree with Cruz.Cookie - don't put all your eggs in one basket! I also applied (and was accepted) to the University of Tampa's program, so that is my back up if all else fails! Just the class times are not practical for someone who works full-time. Best of luck to you!

Hi, do you mind if I ask what your stats were?

Did you find out if you got in or not?

I was accepted into USF and South university's BSN program and like Cruz.Cookie said, the essay for USF goes a long way.

Does that equate to 3 years or do they allow you to take summer semesters? Btw thanks for the info

2 years total.

So the final application date is June 1, anybody know how long it typically takes them to let us know if we are admitted?

Roughly two weeks after it closes you should get an email.
