Merritt College ADN Fall 2020

Published

Hello! I didn't see a forum for Fall 2020 applicants so I thought I'd start one. Good luck everyone ?

Does anyone have any input from current or past merritt nursing students? I’ve heard some pretty worrying things about the program and I’m debating whether I should stay close to home and bet on making it off the waitlist here or bite the bullet and take the acceptance at Merritt... I’ve heard a lot of students leave the program pretty early on. Anyone know any details about how they’re working to improve?

I've heard that it is a challenging program. It is a well rated school, so my guess is that students who have not had good things to say were just not able to keep up with coursework and skills labs and such. They also have a bridge program with CSUEB RN-BSN which I also see as a plus. Other than that I haven't heard anything else.

I think that they won’t re do the lottery since people have been getting emails for admission and have been sending in signed acceptance forms to the program. Merritt has confirmed those signed acceptance forms(at least in my case ). I think that anyone who’s received a letter saying they’ve moved on to phase two and have not received and email saying they haven’t been accepted at this point are alternates. For those who have received admission and do not meet the TEAS requirements will be dropped; leaving room for those “alternates”. Just a theory of mine. Best of luck to you all.

Hi, I hope that's the case for me because I received a letter but no email. Do you mind sharing how you submit the TEAS scores. There is no clear instructions in the letter they sent me.

For sure. A lot of people in this thread believe there should have been another form sent to “send in” their TEAS results via mail. However your TEAS results are sent electronically through ATI. Log into your ATI account and click on your results, and click on your FIRST TIME scores. If you send any other ones your application will be forfeited. Once you click on your first time score there will be an option to “share results “ then you’ll scroll through the list of schools until you find Merritt College ADN program. You’ll select it then click continue and it’ll prompt you to pay $27 for your scores to be sent. You pay and that’s it !

I’m guessing they don’t plan on getting back to the people who wanted clarification on the whole physical letter and email situation

Thank you for your help. I took TEAS 5 back in 2014, and I took TEAS 6 recently. Do you think if I choose first time scores, TEAS 5 results will be sent. Thank you

As long as they are your first time TEAS 6 results I think you should be fine. Since it is a new test my guess is that at the top it’ll still say “attempt 1 of 1” if you haven’t taken the TEAS 6 more than once.
