  • What would make you a successful student at USF?
  • Why is USF a good fit for you?
  • Why have you chosen your intended major, and what do you know about the profession?
• Request an official typed high school transcript (or equivalent) showing your grade point average and SAT or ACT results to be sent directly to the Office of Admissions.

Because certain competitive programs may fill, forming waitlists, early application is encouraged.
