Published

Hi Everyone,

I started a thread a couple of days ago but the title was vague so I hope this attracts more readers and future SMU applicants! I am applying for the Fall 2013 cohort for case management and wanted to start a thread like other cohorts to meet other applicants and support each other during the "waiting period"! :) This is my first time applying to grad school/nursing program so everything is new, exciting, and terrifying! I am finishing up my BA in Human Development and hope to continue on towards my dreams by getting into this program.

Shyloh: Congrats!

lalalove: San Mateo and Foster City are more in the middle.

Bananainpjs: What a small world, and it was nice meeting you. I'm sorry for making the table so messy with eraser leftovers!

Itcooley: I'm living in South San Francisco right now. I agree with Driven2012 that we're BLESSED to stay in the Bay Area while also

Does anyone have any advice on financial aid and student loans?

Thanks Kevin...I shouldn't have said ladies lol I will look in to those two cities

lalalove: Adding to what Kevin said, there is also Fremont (it's pretty safe there). If you want to be closer to the Oakland side, Alameda is a nice little island.

I live in Oakland btw

Thank you...How do you like living in Oakland?

To be honest, I don't. There are nicer areas of course, but unfortunately I live in an area where there is a lot of crime.

Hey All

I live in Oakland currently and have for the past 12 years. There are areas that have higher crime rates however there are also great areas in Oakland. I live by Lake Merritt in Oakland and I think it is a great location, safe, and close to SMU. Oakland gets a bad rap and it is understandable as I used to live in a not-so-great part of Oakland but there are nice places to live in Oakland. If you are considering Oakland then the Lakeshore, Grand Lake, Lake Merritt, Uptown, Rockridge, Piedmont, Montclair, and a few other neighborhoods are really great and have great restaurants and shopping as well (oh and awesome Cafe's galore for studying :) )

Hi everyone! I've been accepted for this fall's CM program too! :woot: Congratulations to everyone who has gotten "the call". I'm so excited and I look forward to meeting you all!

I live in Union City, which is in between Fremont and Hayward. I like living here, but there have been more incidents lately (You can google Union City Patch to read up on it), however, I've never had any problems.

Hey guys! Anyone get the official email/letter yet?

Hi Shyloh

I received an email from K----a R. It was a congratulations email and had the link to fill out the letter of intent and deposit by March 13.

That's weird I got mine Tuesday and I have to return it by March 8th. I guess they're sending those out in waves.

I received the official e-mail on 2/26. I paid by credit card and faxed my letter of intent in order to expedite things.
