No word yet Marykdarling @_@ I remember you from the Spring 2013 thread, and I was just wondering if it's not too personal for you to share, if you had any C's while applying. I actually have more than a couple C's in my pre requisites (3, shudder...) and I'm really scared that these C's are going to hurt my chances...My TEAS V score is right at the average on composite, but my reading and math scores are much above. Anyways, thanks for answering if it's not too much trouble, and hopefully I'll be seeing you this upcoming fall!

Sorry it took me so long to reply! I didn't have any C's when applying, but I do know a few of my classmates who did... I would probably suggest raising your TEAS V score, since that is much easier to do than repeat classes, especially since SMU takes your highest attempt :). I would especially consider this if you think that your GPA isn't so strong. Personally, my TEAS V score was riiight about average as well, but I think my GPA is what helped me... I hope that helps! Keep me updated and good luck!!!

Hi Everyone, I too applied for the Fall knowing that the only hope we have is if someone drops or fails from the three sister schools. For those of you who have not visited the campus or don't know much about SMU, go onto their website and be on the lookout for the Nursing Sucess! Seminar. It is a great seminar that they hold each July and they tell you so much information and give a tour of the facilities. Crossing my fingers, but still no word yet. They did not get the info on how many students were coming from the other schools until this past week. So the wait shouldn't be too much longer.

MaryKDarling, do you know Marissa or Jessica? They both are in the Spring 2013 class. I met them at the seminar and we keep in touch and they give me a heads up on what to expect. :)

Thank goodness for some idea from others who have already started. I also had a friend who went through the ABSN program and LOVED it!

KnCmommy, I came across the seminar on the SMU site too but I think the seminar is only for underrepresented pre-nursing students and I am a Chinese and white Female so I don't qualify. : ( I searched other blogs on this site for when previous students heard back about admission to the fall semester and it looks like in 2011 they got emails the second Saturday of the month. I think it's weird that they received emails over the weekend but I am hoping to hear something by the end of the week. :nailbiting: Good luck everyone!

niederbrachj, it is for the underrepresented, but really anyone can apply. I am Korean and Caucasian and I got in last year. It was really good and gave you great information on the school and applying. I am hoping that we hear something by the end of the week because I need to either know and be excited or move on and look forward to Spring semester, I can't take this stress anymore! LOL

Good to know. Thanks! I feel the exact same way! I just want to know at this point so I can move on and start on spring application if I need to.
