Hopefully we'll all hear back soon!

Saka- sooo bummed we have to wait until early December! ): All this waiting is killing me! They said they will contact those on the wait list if an opening appears, let me know if they contact you! And if they do, congrats!!

yup in the acceptance email, they said the deadline to submit our intent to enroll is Nov 28,

so after they get the final list of accepted students who choose to matriculate then,

they will know how many slots are open and notify those on the waitlist

dont give up hope, guys

best of luck

I know, it's the waiting that is making very anxious. Its like i tell myself not to hope for too much but that still in the back of your head you are hoping it would work out. It is very stressful. I am already applying to CSU's, as that had been my back up plan from the beginning. But still, it would be better if i get in now.

Saka -- Which CSUs are you applying to? EB, Sac, Chico? The reason why I really liked SMU is that 1) You don't need O-Chem (aren't we totally over science classes?? Haha) and 2) It's only a 2-year program! My friend just went through EB & it was 3 years. That just seems like so long to me!!

I am actually applying to all most all the csu. And actually that was the same reason i wanted to go to Samuel Merritt because its only 2 year program but if i don't get in, i would waste another year. I also already have the organic chemistry classes. I have taken enough classes to meet the requirements of all CSUs.

I was thinking about this last night...I wonder if the faculty searched us on the web like on face book or anything? I've heard of employers doing that but I dont know if schools do. I don't have anything bad on mine thankfully!

I just got a denial email.

Rachelynn · Nov 20, 2012

Me too! I will try the accelerated program next spring. We just need to stay determined and never give up on this goal. It WILL happen. Keep in touch everyone. I will probably start a forum for the ABSN spring 2013 in the summer. Application deadline is July 1 I believe. Good luck everyone who got in , waiting list , or who got denied. Nice meeting u all :)

Don't give up guys. I believe this semester was the most competitive compared to previous years. Thanks for keeping us updated.

Marykdarling · Nov 22, 2012

It did extremely competitive. I'm sorry you guys got the rejection letters, but I'm glad you guys will keep trying! I was told my an SMU counselor that sometimes it takes 2-3x to get in... I would love to hear if you guys get in somewhere else, so please let me know. You are all in my thoughts

How many letters of recommendation did everyone submit? I submitted just one because that's what they asked for but I'm sure having 2 or 3 would have been good. I'm a little nervous about my letter because I got it from my instructor for the CNA course I took. Although she is a nurse practitioner , the course was only 8 weeks so I didn't know her very long. Tell me about your letters and let me know what you think !

Hey! i know this is like 5 years later...haha but i am wondering if your letter of rec from your cna instructor was helpful in any way? I was thinkin of asking my cna instructor also since i wont have enough cna experience by the time i apply...
