Hints for Samuel Merritt ABSN

katkids · Feb 27, 2007

Hi Fellow Mommy,

Yes, SF is my 1st choice. I got a 79 on the NET. I read that 85 is a shoo in.

At my level now, there are only so many hoops I can jump thru given all I have to do. Last year, I read # 19 on the waitlist got in. April does seem awfully close and I'm expected to have my darn gallbladder taken out. My kid and I also seem to have this never ending cold/flu thing going on. Feb just isn't such a good month so far. Mentally, I'm spent.

Thank you very much for your tips. Will call and harrass them soon. The thought of resubmitting is a task I do not relish.

Thank you;)

Hi Sue!

If you are completing any prereqs keep working on them. At the Preview Day last fall the dean of nursing said that many people on the waiting list the year before received calls to join the program. Many of them had quit half way through the last prereqs expecting they would not get in because they were low on the waiting list. I am pretty sure you can take the NET again for the next round of applications if you don't get in this time.

Best of luck to you,

Jess

Hi Jess,

Thanks for the info. Been doing some of my own. Last year they went thru their entire wait list. I'm suppose to wait it out til April 1st, before reapplying. Some of the staff will accept a second NET and some won't. So they are going to have to come to some sort standards. Luckily, I am finished with all the prereqs. So I'm just stewing and waiting....

Hi Sue,

Being on the wait list #16.... did you ever get in? I got a 79 on my net as well and want to see what are my chances.

Thanks!!

Hi,

Yes, I do think you'll get in to one campus or another. Some people go to other schools and don't take the spot. This is an expensive program and there are no new grad programs in SF now, so unless the economy gets better, jobs are scarce.

I think you misunderstood me or i misunderstood you... i thought you have mentioned something that YOU were on wait list #16, so I asked if you ended up getting in....

Oh yes, yes I got in. It is not an easy program.

hi Sue, how is the program going now? i'm looking to apply for the 1/2010 sac absn program and i just got my net scores back. i was so excited to read that you go in after being waitlisted. i think i will probably get waitlisted d/t my net scores.
