Samuel Merritt ABSN 2010 San Mateo

I'm taking Interpersonal communication at Napa CC and it is kicking my butt! Much harder than any of the science classes i've taken! Must be the teacher. Do you know a way I can get intouch with ********* so I can try to add his email is not listed on the web-site? Thanks

Thanks for the input I'll give that a try!!

Hi BYU - just from experience, you'll never get through to a prof. in the online classes at SBCC they might have an address w/in pipeline but they won't answer. The one I had for Patho BARELY answered her internal "moodle" class e-mail. Like pulling teeth. Let me warn you to steer clear of Univ of Iowa's class - awful notes, terrible book and instructors that are the antithesis of helpful, I had to drop it and was told by the dist. educ. admin. that "there were problems with the class". Don't know about other out of state distance classes but if you can get something through a CC you're probably going to have a better experience and spend less to do it. You might try calling the HIT office at SBCC and seeing if you can get some kind of answer that way. I think the policy at SBCC is you're in or you're not - meaning no waitlist or exceptions but it never hurts to check it out and try. Good luck!

Elle - sorry it's taken so long to apply. I haven't visited allnurses in awhile. Once all nonqualified applicants are weeded out, the eligible applicants are submitted to the nursing faculty for review. The nursing faculty make the final decision on who will be accepted. Based on the last admission process, it looks like people with healthcare and more life experience (e.g. people who were older with kids) were accepted rather than just people who had high GPAs and high entrance test scores. Also, a couple of people that had been high on the waiting lists for previous cohorts were admitted.

Hope this helps!

Has anyone heard anything yet?

Does anyone know how many applications they have received for spring 2010? Has anyone received any updates?

Hello! I have also applied for the January 2010 San Mateo cohort. I have not heard anything from SMU yet. It seems like I turned in my application ages ago...this is going to be a long wait! I am pretty nervous, especially with the increase in applicants. I'll be sure to post if I hear anything Good Luck to everyone!

I talked to an admissions counselor today, there were 177 applications to San Mateo and 129 to Sacramento for spring 2010.

Hello Elle, I am wondering about your email. I also applied , but have not received anything. What did your email say if you do not mind me asking??? Ug this waiting game is BRUTAL. I also applied to UCSF and took the GRE yesterday. NOT FUN!! Thanks a lot!
