<p>Hi I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the average GPA/SAT is of students who are usually accepted to USF's nursing program? I've looked for it and I can't find it, even a link would be great :) Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Hi, my daughter applied and was accepted last year and is now attending. I tried to find the same information but I could only come up with the general population admission stats. I am sure, however, that the stats for nursing students are much higher than the general population, so you can use that as a guide.</p>
<p>@HighAltitude thank you for the reply, is it possible for you to tell me what your daughter’s stats were? </p>
<p>Sure. </p>
<p>4.0 gpa (4.0 scale)
6 AP classes, including AP Chem
31 ACT
3 sport athlete, multiple letters and captain positions
Elected officer NHS
Girls State
Life Guard
Volunteer at local hospital.</p>
<p>I am applying to the nursing program at USF too. I don’t have high hopes about getting in 
My Gpa is a 3.67 and the SAT score I submitted was 1750. I hope they defer me, because then I can submit my second SAT score which was 1870. I have a lot of extracurriculars though. These other posts that I found don’t make me feel too hopeful about getting in. I will copy and paste those results. </p>
<p>Accepted:</p>
<p>I’m gonna list anything that I think would have affected the decision.</p>
<p>Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Korean
Major: Nursing
GPA: 3.63 (weighted)
School API: 884 (Foothill High School, Pleasanton, CA) <a href=“http://api.cde.ca.gov/Acnt2011/2011GrowthSch.aspx?allcds=01751010130096”>http://api.cde.ca.gov/Acnt2011/2011GrowthSch.aspx?allcds=01751010130096</a>;
SAT: 2140 (best single)
SAT superscore: 670 (reading) 730 (math) 780 (writing) [2180]
Essays: My essays revolved around how I wanted to focus on nursing, which shows direction.
Parents: Dad has a PhD, and mum has a bachelor’s.</p>
<h2>Not sure if this really affected it, but for religious affiliation, I put ‘none’. The school is technically Jesuit Catholic, even though it’s not a Christian school, per se.</h2>
<p>What do I like about USF, specifically?
It has a pretty good nursing program. The school population is relatively small (I think it’s <10,000 including grad students), which means class sizes probably are, too. The classes are close to the dorms. My sister had to walk at least 15 minutes to her classes at Berkeley. The frosh/soph dorms are really old, but the one for juniors and seniors is great. OH. And co-ed dorms (an all-male dorm would by a pigsty)!</p>
<p>Where else did I get in?
So far, I’ve gotten a reply from Cal State Long Beach. The UCs I applied to haven’t started sending out admissions (except Irvine on Feb. 1st, but nursing majors take longer to get admission because there’s a supplement).</p>
<p>Will I attend?</p>
<h2>I’m considering USF, but it’s pretty expensive. My older sister is currently attending UC Berkeley (junior) and she’s going to go to pharmacy school, so it’s not like my family has money to spare. But my dad has this thing against taking out loans (I think it’s cultural).</h2>
<p>I sent in my application on January 14th, sent in my transcript on January 27th (my school ended first semester really late), and got my acceptance email on February 24th. Just shy of a month</p>
<p>I think this one is from a transfer student…</p>
<p>Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Asian (Taiwanese)
Major:BSN Nursing
Transfer student from De Anza/Foothill
GPA: 3.6(Nursing Pre-Req) 3.45 (Overall)
Over 200 hrs volunteered at The Stanford Hospital and Clinics
Rec letter originally (last Year) from Stanford Supervisor
This year it was from my boss from my youth golf coaching job</p>
<p>Letter was about how my days working at the Unit with the nurses and doctors opened my eyes to the world of not only professional medical care, but also a compassionate and kind one that helped me embrace who I was and who I wanted to be in the future… And blah blah blah.</p>
<p>—I’m posting this because I need help deciphering whether or not my acceptance is legit.
I will be calling this coming Monday to clear things up, but for now I’m majorly confused about this small 2-paged postcard I received. Inside it says ’ Congratulations on your admission to the University of San Francisco’. Outside and the whole postcard is very pretty and looks like a mini brief version of the actual ‘official letter of acceptance packet’ with all the colors and pictures.</p>
<p>The postcard is an invite to the ‘admitted student visit program’ this April.</p>
<p>This has been my dream school for the longest time, and because I failed to get in last year, right now, I feel so close to the success I want! But I have not received the official packet and im wary of being too happy about this card in case there is a mistake!</p>
<p>Please someone tell me this isn’t a joke! Perhaps I have been admitted, but this is a card they sent out after the acceptance packet? I already RSVP for the event in April. Is that really only for admitted students?</p>
<p>I’m on an emotional rollercoaster.</p>
<p>My whole family believes the card is legit because they wouldn’t mess with students by saying ’ congrats on your admission’. But I feel this way I guess so I don’t set myself up for a a huge fall if I’m too happy now.</p>
<p>Will update after Monday!!</p>
<p>Congrats on everyone who got in.</p>
<p>*** don’t ever give up even if you didn’t get into your dream school. Success isn’t all vested in what college you go to or what grades you get. There’s more to that in life. Keep up the positivity guys cause life is long and has so much to offer.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading my huge post.</p>

<p>I’ve decided to go to USF for Nursing. I know that passing up UCSD makes me crazy, as it offers one of the best psych programs in USA, not to mention their medical program as well… but nursing is what I ultimately chose, so…</p>
<p>I hope that helped 
Keep me posted on whether or not you get in.</p>
<p>@mapoftheworld thank you so much! Thank you for putting so much time into actually going through other posts and copying and pasting! You are amazing and I wish you good luck! </p>
<p>I also applied to CSU’s for nursing and UC Irvine. I’ll keep you posted and when I get the decisions back. I’ll post what stats I believe hurt me/helped me 
Thanks again!</p>
<p>@jenaylay I got into USF and Seattle University for Nursing! I also applied to the CSUs, but not the UCs. I lived in SoCal for awhile and it didn’t suit me. Best of luck! </p>
<p>@jenaylay I just recently got into USF nursing! I could give you my stats if you want? Have you gotten a reply yet?
@mapoftheworld Congratulations! Are you planning on attending USF for nursing? What do you think helped you the most on your college ap?</p>
@jenaylay @mapoftheworld Also do either of you guys know how many people were accepted into the nursing program early?
Bump
Oh my god @mapoftheworld congratulations!!! You’re going to do great both USF and Seattle are amazing schools! I am legit jelly haha. @champ123 no i didn’t do early for USF but I was accepted to most of my csus for pre nursing (still waiting on LA) and mount saint Marys I’d still love to hear your stats even tho it won’t help me much now haha. And sorry I have no idea how many USF accepted into their nursing program but I’ll look for the numbers! I’m so sorry I’ve been mia!!! #sickwithsenioritis haha
Wow, I am getting to this party really late. @champ123 Congrats! That’s awesome. I plan to go to USF Upon further research I discovered that USF’s program in better than Seattle’s. I think my EC’s helped me the most. Will you go to USF? What do you think helped you the most?
@jenaylay Keep us posted on USF’s decision! Congrats on the calstates 
@mapoftheworld I was accepted to usf’s nursing program 
I’m so thankful but I’m just worried about tuition prices, it’s so expensive, like $50,000? I think my GPA (4.29/5, 3.77/4) and my SAT (2020) probably helped me get in.
I got accepted!
SAT: 1720
GPA
UW: 3.88
W: 4.23
@jules59 congratulations!!! ^^
Hi once again @champ123 . I just came across this group and I was wondering if there are any transfer nursing applicants ? :). Did any of you receive your decisions?
@jenaylay it is expensive but you might qualify as a university scholar which is 20000 a year and helps a lot! I managed to get that which is one of the reasons I can go.
@mapoftheworld And I am also attending! I had a 4.5 GPA my junior year which I think helped, and I volunteered at the hospital so I think that might have been my strong area as well!
