    MamaKat916 replied to Lety86's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi Kathleen! How recently did you apply? And which program/campus are you applying to? Welcome to the forum!

  2. SMU (Samuel Merritt University) BSN Spring 2020

    MamaKat916 replied to Javeria Ali's topic in School, College Programs

    @emslee43 thank you so much for clarifying that. It makes a lot of sense now and I feel much more relieved!

    @Lety86 I don’t think NursingCAS gives a last 60 GPA to us, but a lot of people are using their post-baccalaureate GPA that is calculated by Nursing CAS. Or, maybe they are doing the calculations on...

    MamaKat916 replied to Javeria Ali's topic in School, College Programs

    I was told that W’s were not calculated into the GPA. But then again... I seem to be hearing conflicting statements all the time, so maybe the person in Sac who told me this (before the current...

    MamaKat916 replied to Lety86's topic in School, College Programs

    I didn’t think we were violating terms of service by posting the names of the admissions contacts for the school? Their names and emails are public information and on the website for the school. If...

    MamaKat916 replied to Lety86's topic in School, College Programs

    Ok, so (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) finally emailed me back and said that the deadline had been extended by one week. So instead of 7/1 they extended it to 7/8. Interestingly, when I asked her about how...

    MamaKat916 replied to Lety86's topic in School, College Programs

    I actually haven’t had an email regarding the waitlist at all, but for my first waitlist, I only heard when 10+ people moved up. So maybe they send them out in batches based on your placement? I...

    @kbena, where did you see (or hear) that it was extended? What’s the new

    MamaKat916 replied to Lety86's topic in School, College Programs

    I have not tried to do the nursing success seminar. From what I understand, it’s designed for underprivileged students who are trying to go to school for nursing. I’m not entirely sure, but I...

    MamaKat916 replied to Lety86's topic in School, College Programs

    Kbena, I would also contact them directly with your question, if for no other reason than to draw a little attention to the fact that your application may need to be looked at more closely than the...

    MamaKat916 replied to Lety86's topic in School, College Programs

    Woah! They extended it?! Ugh! That just is upsetting. They should have a very qualified applicant pool and it just feels unfair that they want to have 4 or 5 applicants for every seat. I understand...

    MamaKat916 replied to Lety86's topic in School, College Programs

    Ok, found my papers! For those of you who are first time applicants, here are my stats for all three of applications: FIRST APPLICATION: science GPA: 3.26 last 60 GPA: 3.2 (not sure b/c I don’t know...

  13. 2020 Spring SMU ABSN program

    MamaKat916 replied to Lety86's topic in School, College Programs

    Thanks Lety86! It’s really hard to keep getting waitlisted in the 40’s when I know I’ve met (and exceeded) a lot of their criteria. But I have to trust that there’s a plan that I’m not privy...

  14. 2020 Spring SMU ABSN program

    MamaKat916 replied to Lety86's topic in School, College Programs

    That’s good to know. When I asked (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) a year ago, she literally could not tell me how the last 60 was calculated. I asked because back then, my 60 units hit mid semester and I...

    MamaKat916 replied to Lety86's topic in School, College Programs

    Not that I know of! I haven’t seen any email saying I moved. But I was pretty high in the numbers, so it won’t make a difference for me this time. But congrats on your move to #20! That should put...

    Hey Lety86! Looks like we’re back for another round! I forget, are you Sacramento or San

    MamaKat916 replied to Javeria Ali's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi Knightkr, I think that you should be fine. Your app will be submitted with the grades as “unverified” until they receive them. You could also contact Derick in San Mateo and ask if you should...

    MamaKat916 replied to Javeria Ali's topic in School, College Programs

    From my discussions with Katharine in Sacramento, they only count the higher of the two grades. You have to input all of the classes you’ve taken, but they don’t average the grades the way some...

    Hello all ? I applied to the Sac ABSN cohort for Spring 2020. Is everyone here for BSN? ABSN? A mix of both? Good luck to

    Congratulations to everyone who got accepted! That’s fantastic!! Just out of curiosity, is there anyone on the board who is still waiting for acceptance/waitlist/rejection emails? My inbox is still...

    MamaKat916 replied to Cef8616's topic in School, College Programs

    That would be fantastic! I have until Thursday at midnight to drop my summer school class without penalty, and I’m only taking it because I’m not sure if I’m in or not. Fingers

    MamaKat916 replied to Cef8616's topic in School, College Programs

    I agree RiverDancer. I met with Katherine after the last application cycle and we made a 3 application “plan” for revisions and improvements to make each time should I get waitlisted or declined....

    MamaKat916 replied to Cef8616's topic in School, College Programs

    Last I was told was that they hoped to have decisions out this month and we should prep our Spring 2020 applications. They specifically say not to call regarding application status, so I’m reluctant...
