I am a prospective student for Samuel Merritt University for the cohort starting in Spring 2014. Campus of choice is San Mateo. I am considering the ELMSN-NP program as well since the prereqs are identical.

1. I was seeking information on TEAS test experience. What is the cut off for this test to get in? (I wanted to take this test after I finished my prereqs which will be completed by Sept 14th) Currently I am finishing up A&P I lecture/lab and Nutrition courses within the next 2 weeks, also currently taking Microbiology lecture/lab which will be complete by Aug 24th and signed up for A&P II lecture lab, Pathophysiology, and Pharmacology courses starting at the end of June and ending Sept 14th 2014 to make me 100% complete. I am currently making an A in all the courses attempting now. I have an undergrad gpa of 3.1 and science gpa of 3.5

I am currently on the east coast and have been serving in the military for 6 years. I lived in Orange County prior to joining for 6 months and have visited California numerous times and loved every second of it so I know this is where I want to end up, hence is why I am applying for programs out there.

I also wanted to know about anyones experience in previous cohorts at any of the campuses for both ABSN and ELMSN programs.

If anyone else is applying for Spring 2014 please respond to this thread as well that way we can get to know each other somewhat and give a chance to those that get accepted to start networking. Wish everyone the best of luck!!

Hi Mike!

I'm in the BSN program at SMU right now. I have a few friends in the ABSN and some in the ELMSNs, so hopefully I can help answer some questions for you..

As far as the TEAS, SMU wants you to be above the national average for overall score, math and reading. Those are the areas they are most concerned about. I would definitely wait till after you finish your sciences to do the TEAS cause the science section can be really rough. Investing in a TEAS practice book will probably help you out too.

I love SMU and I'm so glad to be here. Both the ABSN and ELMSN programs are tough, but they are supposed to be! :) best of luck to you!
