I am a fairly new nurse, but this is my second career. I started on a Med Surg floor after I graduated and left after 7 months. I saw they were never going to let me take vacation, we were constantly going to be short staffed, and the stress was alre...

I was qualified but not selected. But I did get into Samuel Merritt, so I’m ok with it. Best of luck to everyone!!

Has anyone heard anything yet?

I hope we hear by end of next week. It’s unlikely we would hear during Thanksgiving Break because the school is closed. So if it’s not before TG, it’ll be that week after. Hopefully we don’t have to wait that long.

No, it just means they haven’t reviewed yours yet. If you click on the little info icon next to your status, it will give all the possible status changes. There’s one for Application Not Qualified and another for Missing Documents. If you don’t have ...

I think we had 14 days from the date we were given the acceptance email. So October 23rd was my deadline.

Mine changed to qualified on Friday and I was #147 or #148, I can't remember. They're halfway through the 300-something that dropped off their applications in person. I have no idea if people who mailed their application in were added to the numbered...

Hi Cheyenne! I also think you have a fantastic chance to get in this cohort! The school is still giving people time to accept/deny their admissions and pay their fees. Then there will be people who can’t meet the other requirements, so the list is bo...

That’s what I thought, but wasn’t sure. It took me three times to get in. 11th isn’t bad, she may get in (or at least close enough to get one of those lucky two or three that are offered for next cohort). I would tell her to call or email because the...

Hey RiverDancer, I never got updates after the Fall 2019 application cycle. I think people were calling of emailing to get updates. Last year (for Spring 2019) they weren’t scheduled, but they were sent out when significant movement had been made (us...

No worries! The acceptance email has a subject that says “Congratulations! You’ve been accepted to Samuel Merritt University.” And the Wait Lost email had a subject line that said “ABSN Waitlist Notification - Sacramento”. It’s pretty clear before yo...

Yes, exactly! I was overly excited the first time I logged in and saw that too, but the sub text (located under the application title for the current cycle) is the one you need to read. I’m glad everyone found it! I don’t know if it makes it better o...

I’m pretty sure that’s what we used. Unless there’s an option to make one? But that status changes first and the emails go out a day after that. So a lot of us found out Wednesday night last week and the emails went out Thursday. I had checked it all...

Have you guys checked the admitted student portal? You log in with your NursingCAS login/password and then check your application status on the tab “checklist”. A lot of us found out the night before the emailed us by logging in.

That’s a great plan!!

@RNVoyage I remember someone telling me that no matter where you land on the wait list, it’s a compliment. They do send straight denial letters to some qualified applicants. So the fact that you made the waitlist tells us that they liked you, they mi...

CPowers129, me too!! I’m SO happy for you!! It was a long wait, but we made it! Third times a charm!! Look forward to meeting you!

For those of you who are interested in the changes I made to my applications, here is what was suggested to me: Try to bring your GPA (both science and last 60/90 units) into the 3.4 range or higher. I had to go back and retake my chemistry and both ...

I received updates the first time I applied, but did not receive them for the second application. So not sure if they have changed the process?

Just call or email and ask for an Appointment. ?

Yes, I’d be happy to!! I’m running my daughter to soccer practice and I’ll post about my experience when I get back. Also, if you’d like to read my two different statements, it might help to see the difference between the two. I had a very supportive...

If you guys search the exact title that she posted, it’s WAY down the list. Maybe third from the bottom? Kasial, thank you for making this!!

Be sure you make an appointment to meet with the counselor. I followed every piece of advice and am so grateful for the insight.

I was waitlisted 48 my first time and 47 my second time. I would suggest printing out your application and making a face-to-face appointment with the admissions counselor. I did and I asked her to be brutally honest and mark up my app all she needed ...

Count me in! With all these years of fine tuning my grades and application, I’ve learned some great study techniques! Looking forward to meeting you @jndsass!
