Samuel Merritt ABSN 2010 San Mateo

I too applied to both campuses for January 2010. San Mateo is also my first choice. I haven't gotten an email saying they received my application yet though... I wonder how many applications they received...

Hey! I applied to San Mateo 2010 as my first choice as well. I just talked to an admissions rep yesterday and she said we won't hear amything for 2-3 months ... I'm a little worried that there are more applicants than usual though, which will definitely hurt our chances of admission. Let's keep eachother updated on what we hear! This is going to be a long couple of months... Take care!

I applied for Sac Jan 10. It's my first application. I've heard also that they've had a huge increase in the # of applicatants. I'm an older student with no health care experience and my undergrad GPA was only a 3.0. I've got a 4.0 in all my pre-reqs and a 89 on the NET. I still have a few pre-reqs to finish hopefully that won't hurt me. Where is everyone taking path and pharm? I'm registered at Santa Barbara city college for pharm but can't get into a patho class. Any ideas? Good luck to everyone out there can't wait to hear!!

Hi Everyone,

I forwarded on my application from Fall '09 in SF to San Mateo, since I didn't get in to SF. I'm hoping there are fewer applicants for the San Mateo cohort, but don't want to keep my hopes up because I understand that there were 40+ people on the waitlist for SF! From what I've heard/read, applications are up more than 50% at other private schools in addition to SMU, and may be for awhile due to the economy. Did anyone else here forward on their application from November? I'm curious to know how many people are applying for the 2nd time around versus new applications.

For all of you who are new to the process, I sent in my application for the November cohort March 30, received an email in late May that my application had been received, and an official email in early June that all qualified applications were under review by the SF faculty. Hopefully this should help give an idea of the timeline. However, there are 5 months between the San Mateo application deadline and class start v. applying for fall SF, so I'm hoping that everything moves along more quickly this time around.

Good luck to you all!

I took Patho & Pharm at SBCC - are you at least on a waitlist for Patho? I had no trouble getting in to Patho (took it Spring '09). Otherwise, SMU does offer it online for a somewhat hefty price. Hope this helps!

Who did you take at SBCC I'm trying to get into contact with one of the profs to see if they will add me and the two posted emails bounce back?
