U.S.A. California

Published

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!

That's such a good point--the volunteer experience! I did volunteer experience and a CNA course and I swear those were what pushed me into being accepted at the schools I applied to! Plus the experience looks good when you ultimately apply for your first job as an RN! :) Make sure to do that

Hey bluechick, where did you do your CNA course at? I didn't get for the Spring Master's Entry and was going to do a CNA course. Thanks!

Undergrad meeting: the assistant to the program made it very clear ( a number of times) that although a 3.4+ is good to be competitive, they very much consider the essay, LOR, overall GPA, and other activities or life circumstances.

USF truly believes in their mission being alive and active in the community, so GPA is not the only factor for those they choose to be a part of their programs.

I am on a quarter system, so I have a 3.4+ with 2/3 of the AP (4.0) and Psych (2.0), I know right, out of all classes I get a C in Psych--I took it in summer as a 6 week course, bad decision. If I need to reapply for Spring 2011 with my last AP and Micro being an "A", my GPA will be 3.6+.

However, I am praying that I get into Fall 2010 as a 6 semes' offer, as I will be ready for clinical according to the BSN curric'.

Has anyone applied for FALL 2010?

Hey, I did my CNA course through Nightingale Nursing. There's one in Pleasant Hill and San Leandro. It was about $500, maybe $600 including the cost of white scrubs and supplies and it was only 3 months, 3-4 days a week (depending on the week). There's also one in Martinez that I heard about through Mt. Diablo Adult Education and they have a connection with John Muir and the top people in each class usually get hired at John Muir after they get certified! :)

Hope this helps

Thank you for the information! Unfortunately, I live in the North Bay, so that's too far for me. Thanks!

Does anybody know how many people applied to the BSN program and how many people were accepted for spring 2010 or fall 2009 (probably an impossible question to answer)? Or how many students they accept every semester?

One of the directors of admissions stated that they will receive over a thousand of applications during the last two weeks of application deadline. Keep in mind, not everyone is qualified to apply, yet he/she sends the app any how.

From what I remember from meeting, about 80-100 are accepted? I think less for Spring. I could be wrong.

Cee Lee,

Have you heard from USF for Fall 2010. I applied for the BSN program for the fall and haven't heard anything yet:/

No. Still waiting. Letters are to be mailed beginning of April. I am trying not to be anxious, but I can't help it.

OK I have not received an acceptance letter; but my grandma deleted a voice message from USF, so I am wondering if I missed an important call. shucks.

And last night I received an email that was inviting me to join a USF online chat for admitted students. Admitted students....? hmmmmm

I also have access to USFconnect and have my own USF email address. USF connect has a tab showing this:

I also got an email asking me to join an admitted online chat for march 24 and some log-in I.D. and password. However, I haven't gotten an actual letter yet from the school saying that I have been accepted. Cee Lee 78, how did you log into USF connect, did you just use the user name and password from the admitted students chat that they sent you?

Up Vote Up Vote ×

yes I used the log in that was used to address the letter..the password I used, however, was the pw I would use to check my application status. Try the password with the email, see if it works.

When did you get the email?

(I am so anxious now)
