Hi everyone, 

I didn't see a thread for this yet so I wanted to start a place for those who have applied the the University of South Florida FNP program starting fall 2021. Previous applicants/accepted students please feel free to comment on the process for you! 
 

thanks!

I am also applying for the USF ARNP program. My concentration is in Family Health. I have an interview next week. I'm so excited, but nervous too! I heard some specialties don't really have to interview while others that are more competitive do, but that could just be a rumor. Good luck everyone!

Hi, I had an interview for Pediatric DNP, full time. Easy though. Don't worry to much ? You will be fine. I don't know about other specialties.

Hello Everyone. I applied back in November 2020, and I got all of my requirements completed at the end of December. I was offered an interview, which I conducted last week on 01/28/2021. The interview seemed to go well and I was told that there was a committee that has to review the applicants and I should hear something in about 2-4 weeks. I have not heard anything yet and I have been told that the decisions are usually made quickly. :( 
I applied for the BSN-DNP program as a full time student. She told me to email her if I had not heard anything by 2 weeks. Should I wait until next week and send an email? Or should I just stand by and hope/pray/pull my hair out/ check my email 9999999999 times?

Also, assuming I get in, I look foward to working with you all.

I had my interview yesterday and was told 2-4 weeks also. I would give it another week and then email her. Let me know if hear anything.

How do you feel your interview went? Mine was very informal and about 15 minutes long.

My interview was informal too. I feel neutral about it. Not great but not bad ?‍♀️. It was only about 10 minutes though ?

Well, mine was informal too. I would give it another week and then email USF. Let me know if hear anything. Btw, was it for full time, or part time program? Just curios ?

My interview was for full time. I wonder if it has anything to do with who you interview with. Perhaps if you interview with someone as a filler, then the decision can’t be made right away. At least I hope that’s the case.

I’m not sure how they determine who does and doesn’t interview but not everyone has to. And I’m not sure how they determine how quickly they give a decision or not. I have my interview was on 1/21 and I still have no decision ?. She said if I didn’t hear anything within 3-4 weeks to email her. It does make me a little nervous but holding our hope

Yup, agree 100%. Definitely it matters with who you interview with. Probably, if there are many candidates, all faculty members are involved during the recruitment proces.

I always keep my hopes up. Aside from USF I applied to 2 other Universities. When I was thinking nothing will happen, just yesterday I received an other letter of acceptance. After 4 weeks from an interview. You never know.

Hi guys, any advice for good rentals close to USF and probably to clinicals ? I am out of the state student?
