I decided to start this thread in order to communicate with others that have applied to the University of San Francisco spring 2018 BSN program at the Sacramento campus.
Also any advice from current students would be greatly appreciated like typical school day and clinical sites? I'm applying as a transfer with 3.8 GPA, 5 years of medical experience with direct patient care.
One last question, typically when do they start sending out notifications? I'm so anxious and excited all at the same time. Any input provided would be greatly appreciated.
Mail lady just left... a few christmas cards and junk mail! Fingers crossed for tomorrow! I will be hanging my hat on rejection if I don't hear tomorrow...
Goodluck to the rest of us!!!! I live in South Sac! and we get mail as late as 6PM ! OMG my hands are shaking, and my heartbeat is so fast while typing this! Im super nervous! I can't even start on this last essay paper I have to submit tonight!!! It's a rollercoaster of emotions because Idk!!! >__
Let us know if you get anything!! Hopefully there is a day delay! If not, I plan on applying again for the fall semester!! It is so discouraging though, I have to focus on the TEAS for the JCs, but I can't help but already feel defeated!
Just wondering, in your letter was there anything about logging in and paying as a way of securing your seat? I was going to play detective and see if I could login tonight, but as of now it is not working. lol
I will definitely let yallz know. The mail box is literally a watch pot right now. and yes I will definitely apply again next semester if I don't get in because the program is very perfect for my time and they treat their students well. My friend just passed his first semester with straight A's because the teachers don't schedule exams on top of each other, and they all help. and my other friend in ARC didn't pass the first semester so she has to retake it on august. There really is a difference on teaching styles I guess, but I really hope we could all get a chance in this amazing school!
I'm sorry guys I didn't think I know it's probably worst now knowing that I got my mine. I thought for sure we would all be celebrating together. And yes in my package it had info on creating a myUSF account and paying the deposit. Surprisingly the deposit was really cheap only 250, I was expecting more. And in the letter it also says something about receiving more information from the nursing department with additional details. Hope you guys get news soon tho!
It's not your fault. To be honest, it's nice to know that letters have gone out. I would just like some resolution with all of this and to begin studying for the TEAS if that's what I need to do. Just trying to prolong the expense (roughly $300) until I know for sure. Please everyone continue to send updates, it is helpful!!!!!
My mail lady just left and I didn't get anything either I might call the counselor monday and just make sure that is a denial and see what the next steps are. @beatifull5 are your completed with those extra classes needed to graduate? That was the one thing I was thinking that would hurt me the most was those 5 outstanding classes. So far I am going to knock out 3 this spring seamster at ARC so hopefully FALL will be my time! (I was planning on deferring this seamsters acceptance anyways) Also, I saw you said you have patient care? I have my CNA license but am no longer working, I am supposed to start volunteering in the spring, trying to bulk up tat resume but it is hard with three little ones! Was your creating myUSF account just your first initial, middle initial and last name? Thanks! :)
A BSN would be my second bachelors degree and I have all the corequisite classes completed, so I thought that would help me. Plus I have volunteer experience (6 months). I am giving it til Monday. Studying with 3 small children is extremely difficult. I think the hard part as a per-nursing student is that you drive so hard for perfection, because that is pretty much what it takes to be accepted anywhere. It's frustrating when you feel like perfection is not enough. I had terrific letters of recommendation. I guess my biggest flaw besides my C in psychology (13 years ago) might have been my essay. My personal statement was based on my summer of 2017, when my husband was diagnosed with brain cancer. Oh-well maybe they will be able to provide some feedback.
oh wow! I am so sorry to hear about that, that would be a hard essay to read. I really didn't try very hard in my essays, next time I will take them way more serious. My letter of recommendation had some maker set backs so the only that finally got in wasn't very good. I feel like these denials are so much more hard because they are more personal. I can deal with the lottery system denials so much easier than these. 2017 was a bad year, I have my eyes set on 2018! :) And Yes, I agree, by the time my husband gets home from work, I am too exhausted from the kids to study! It is rough!
