Samuel Merritt University ELMSN-CM Fall 2013

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?

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.

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.

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.
