I am hoping someone can help me - I just received notification from Merritt College (NOT Samuel Merritt) that I "have been selected as an alternate for admission". When I called to find out exactly what this means, they were not clear. I asked what number I was on the lottery list so that I could get an idea as to how likely it would be that I could get in (e.g. 1 on the alternate list vs. 10) - they said they didn't use numbers.
When I asked how they decided which alternate would get in if a spot opened up, they could not answer at all.
Does anyone know how this works? Was anyone an alternate to Merritt who did or didn't get in?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated - I've already been rejected from one school, am anxiously waiting to hear back from two, and just got this "alternate" letter, so am kindly teetering on the verge of insanity!!!
Hi, I got accepted to Merritt also. Did any of you sign up for the Nursing 12 course? I can't seem to access the practice quizzes. Is anyone else having the same problem?
FYI, over the last week I was able to remove the hold by a counselor, I just dropped-in. Afterward's I was sent to admissions where the woman had a list of us entering the program, she was able to add all my classes and I got my schedule. I don't think you can add it yourself, admission will have to do it for you.
So a couple of us Merritt Fall 10 students are meeting at Buckshot Bar on Geary and 3rd Ave in the Richmond District in San Francisco at 7pm this Thursday (7/22) if anyone else is interested.
well I did a drop-in for the counselor because I had a matriculation hold, which she took off ina minute. But bring your transcripts just in case. Then I walked over to admissions and she had a list of names entering the nursing program and she just added me into the classes and printed me my schedule. Should work the same for all of us.
For all those that took the Nursing 12 course during the summer..how did everyone do on the final? I'm worried..I ran out of time before I was able to finish the test. Did anyone else run out of time?
I just would like to say that first of all they don't accept everyone. They only accepted 90 students last year, and about 500 applied. Please if you have nothing nice to say about this program atleast get the facts right. I understanfd there may be financial shortfalls, but so does EVERY program. This state is in a budget crisis. Do not think for a second that it might be easier here because it's a communicty colelge rather than a big hunky private school. Their trying to make us into a nurse in 2 years, if it's hard, if I need to dedicate all of my time, if I need to stop working, stop seeing my friends, I will do just that. otherwise, I will end up like the majority, failing and coming on to this site to bash this program.
stay positive. stay true to yourself.
Hello,
I got accepted into the ADN of merritt college for fall 2011, I am very excited and ready to start, however, I would very much appreciate your feedback. I heard all about the bad reviews, but those go back to 2008, since you were in the program just recently, please tell us what you think of it, anything you can share will be very much appreciated. It will not change my decision on attending the program, it will however, give me and others who will be attending an idea of what is to expect. Thank you.
