  1. Samuel Merritt ABSN - Spring 2019

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

    The ELMSN candidates seem to be getting IT emails. Last year, the students who were accepted into the program got these emails just before they got their acceptance letters. I'm hoping they start...

    I am watching this thread like a hawk. The ABSN students usually hear about a week after you guys do! This is SO exciting!! Good luck to

    MamaKat916 replied to magxter's topic in Case Management

    Cvnursing and boymum, I'm glad that you made it to the interview round! I can understand how disheartening that may be to have them question previous grades and pre-reqs. I only applied to the ABSN...

  6. Samuel Merritt ABSN - Spring 2019

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

    Some of us have gone back through the posts on previous cohorts and noticed the shorter time between application deadline and notifications for the Fall cohort compared to the Spring cohort. I can't...

    Boymum and cvnursing, how did your interviews

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

    Thanks for filling us in on the info. Glad to hear they aren't giving ten seats away! I would hope that they would give a seat to the number one waitlisted student. That's just SO close. Fingers...

  9. Samuel Merritt ABSN - Spring 2019

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

    I had also read on a previous thread that the top wait list spot for Fall 2018 was already offered a spot in the Spring 2019 cohort. Yay for them but boo for one less available seat. I suppose I would...

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

    Have any of the ELMSN applicants on this thread heard anything back after your interview? I know the final rounds are this Wednesday the 26th, but I was just curious how you felt you

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

    It's really up to you. You only get two chances to take it for Samuel Merritt. They take the higher of the two, but I don't think they piece together a score with your best A&P and your best math....

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

    What's your approximate timeline? Just curious if you came up with something

  13. Samuel Merritt ABSN - Spring 2019

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

    I hear ya Boogalooga! I've been stalking the past absn (spring 2018) posts to follow the timeline for their cohort, along with the ELMSN for that same cohort, and based on what their dates were and...

  14. Samuel Merritt ABSN - Spring 2019

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

    That's good insight on our timeline. I know none of us want to wait until October, but I appreciate you letting us know what the timeframe for the ELMSN interviews are. Good luck to everyone who is...

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

    Thats great CVnursing! I know that interviews for ELMSN candidates were about 4 weeks prior to acceptances/rejections for previous cohorts. (I'm sure everyone has read through the previous threads!)...

    I could not agree more!! Which campus did you apply to? I'm waiting to hear back from

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

    Thank you! I appreciate the link. I wish we didn't have such a long wait!! Makes me wonder why the April applications get their answer back so much sooner? Oh well! I had hoped for only 2-4 more weeks...

  18. Samuel Merritt ABSN - Spring 2019

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

    Could you let us know where you saw Oct-Nov for acceptance letters? I have searched high and low for application timelines and have not seen anything for the ABSN program. Or is that timeline for the...

  19. Is it possible to get into nursing school with a low GPA

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

    I live in NorCal and I can tell you that even our community colleges here (Sacramento area) require a minimum of a 3.0 in all your nursing pre-reqs. CSUS also requires a 3.0 on pre reqs. I have been...

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

    Baz1, you should definitely accept a spot if you were able to get one. Then, if you are accepted by SMU, you can let go of the other one (unless you've already committed to it with money). I seriously...

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

    Bebimbop, webbc1, and rdn2rn, let us know what you find out. Either if you finally get your email or if the school tells you something. Hopefully it will be fine. I was wondering about in-progress...

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

    WebbC1, did you check your spam folder? I think someone found their preliminary email there. If you still haven't seen it, maybe call the school? You definitely got one from NursingCAS saying your...

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

    When you hear about the differences in what books people find helpful, remember that there are at least two versions of the HESI A2 for SMU. Maybe more? The first one I took was definitely different...

  24. Samuel Merritt ABSN - Spring 2019

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

    I wonder if they are reviewing them in the order they were finalized by each of us? I turned mine in mid-June. I don't know if that was before/after you, but it might be an

  25. Samuel Merritt ABSN - Spring 2019

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

    Wanida, I used the Elsevier HESI review book (4th ed), the Trivium test prep for HESI A2 2018-2019 (available on Amazon), and then I also studied from an anatomy/physiology book for review. I think...
