USF nursing School Fall 2017 Potential Students

Published

Hi! I've seen other threads like this one. Pretty much it is just a support thread of anyone who is applying to the University of South Florida's Fall 2017 nursing class. There are threads for about every other year except 2017, so I am starting it. If there is anyone else who just wants to talk to someone going through the process like me, feel free to reply to this discussion.

Good luck to anyone applying to nursing school this semester. I understand first hand how nerve racking it can be!

Hey I went through the process last summer so if you have any questions just let me know :)

Hi! Yes I've actually ready that discussion and that is what made me want to start one! But no one from my class has replied. I have a 3.9 gpa and a 3.8 Pre req. I know you probably don't know how well my chances are of getting because I know the interview is a big factor, but if you had any idea or opinions I would like to know! Also what did you do to practice for the interview?? Thanks in advance for the reply !

You have a really high chance of getting an interview since it is based solely off of gpa. I've heard of someone having a 4.0 and getting an interview but not getting accepted so you really have to stand out in the interview! Are you applying for upper division or second bachelors? The interview is 5 questions and they ask a lot situational questions like give an example when you had a team conflict and what you did to solve the problem. I just practiced a bunch of questions and saying out loud over and over. But in the real interview I was so nervous so idk if it helped lol.

Yes I've heard of people with 4.0s not getting in to. I get nervous in interviews so that is what I'm most nervous about. But I'm going to practice. How do you like nursing school??

Do you go to the stampede into bull nursing meetings?

Yes they are super helpful. I feel like I have a lot of resources and at this point I just know I really have to work on interviewing but I really like talking to people who have gone through the process and I appreciate you replying!

Hi ! I'm applying for the Fall 2017 admission cycle 2 since all my prereqs will be completed in may. I have a 3.94 GPA and definitely intend to get all A's in my last 5 prereq classes. Can anyone explain to me what the difference is between cycle 1 and 2? Does it affect chances of getting in or put us at a different location? :)

Hi! The only difference is that people of cycle one have already finished there pre reqs, so if they do not get in they can apply again to cycle two. I'm not sure if it affects the chances of getting in. Do you go to usf now ?
