Hello!

Has any one applied to USF or is considering this school for Spring 2010 or Fall 2010? I am going to apply in October, so I am very anxious for October to arrive!

If anyone has any application procedure information for USF that they can share, PLEASE send me a PM. I can't find much online and am getting quite confused.

Thanks!

You need a min 3.0 gpa and you can't have any required prereq failures from prior institutions ... Nov 1st is the deadline for spring... you need 3 recommendations.. transcripts.. essays.. applications and the fee..that is all I know.. I been on their website a thousand times and it gets complicated.. I tried calling and noone calls me back which is annoying because I am from NY and can't physically talk to someone lol... I am still debating on applying I have a week to decide. Might not be worth it... let me know what happens!! :)

wait, 3 recommendations? their website specifically says one.

I was wondering whether there are two separate apps: one for the university and one for the nursing dept. If so, do we need two sets of transcripts? Does a separate nursing application packet need to be submitted and what needs to be in it? Do they need the TEAS scores and where should they be sent to? It says they look at extra-curriculars and leadership activities, but how do we submit evidence of those? Do they just want you to include that in your personal essay?

I don't think you have to have 2 sets of everything I think its just a supplemental application you fill out along with the one you are sending. I think? I don't know how they do the TEAS because they don't really mention anything about it. Every school's pre nursing test requirments are different. I guess you can submit like a resume type style for the extra curricular. I think all the applications go through normal admissions and they weed out the ones for nursing and send it to their dept. lilke they see if you meet the reqs and then send your app over and then the nursing dept weeds out some more.. its highly competitive. I dont think I will apply. I dont have a very high GPA and my past college transcrips unfort are haunting me lol... I should just start from the begining lol..as a freshman.. here is their number call them and ask. Hopefully someone answers!! lol

Please contact the School of Nursing for further information (415) 422-6681, [email protected]

You should apply! They only have 4 prerequisites for their nursing program, so as long as you got As in Anatomy, Physiology, Micro and General Psych you'll have a 4.0! :) At this point I'm applying ANYWHERE I can. As long as I have the prerequisites done, I'm applying.

Anyway, thanks for the info!

OK so I got my application packet in on time (thank goodness!)

Does anyone know when we'll be receiving notification of acceptance/rejection? Also, does notification come via USPS or e-mail?

Note: I applied for the TRADITIONAL BSN program for spring 2010 admission as a transfer student.

Good Day All!

I also applied for the spring 2010 nursing program as a transfer student. I am really anxious/scared for the results. My cumulative GPA isn't as strong as my sciences but I applied anyway in hopes that I will shine in other areas of my application. I attended the undergraduate admissions chat last night on their website but the admission counselors weren't that helpful. They provided me with a direct email address to ask any questions I had concerning the program. Wish those of you who applied the best of luck! I am hoping and praying to get in.

Goodluck!!

I put my application in but I just received my acceptance letter from Samuel Merritt University in Oakland this past weekend! Since I already live in the East Bay, I'm going to take SMU over USF even if I do get accepted there :)

But PLEASE let me know when you hear back! Best of luck!

Congrats! I'd def go to SMU too...it'll save you some $$ transporting into the City. Wish you all the best in nursing school :)

tick tock...we should be getting our letter by Thanksgiving! Good luck to all!

mfrancisco- did you apply for the bsn or msn program? did they tell you that you should expect a response before thanksgiving? i have been calling about the status of acceptance/denial letters through admissions and records but all they know is that they have a lot of applicants and are still in the process of evaluating applicants. so anxious to find out :eek:

earthlysoul - I applied for the MSN Entry Level (for the non-nurse) program. They said that they will be notifying those who are on the waitlist by December 7th. The people who got accepted have until December 7th to reserve their spot. They also haven't let those who are on the waitlist know their rank on the waitlist yet. Did you apply for the BSN or MSN program? Good luck to you. I am sooo anxious, too. There are so many changes to make if I am going in January, so it would be nice to know either way.
