Hi, I used to go to Delta College in Stockton and even though it had a bad reputation because of the retention rate and transfer rate. I always heard good things about their nursing program. It was quite competitive so if you got in that's awesome!! I remember one of my friend's ended up applying to the ADN program in Sac City instead because he could not get into the Delta Nursing program. Also, if you already have your Bachelors you should try Samuel Merritt's ABSN program. The cost is high but I've heard it has a good reputation in the Bay Area and most students are able to pay off their debt with no problem. Or you can look into San Francisco State's San Mateo extension ABSN program. Is 15 months and is half the cost of SMU. Good luck!

From an info session I remember that you need to have all your prerequisites done by Fall '20 if you plan on applying for the April '21 start date. But if you're applying for the June cohort you can finish your prerequisites by May. The prerequisite deadlines are also on the website.

Yeah I think they cancelled it, I only see one for next Monday.

Anyone who messaged me about the books I’ll send them this weekend! I am in Mexico so limited wifi, sorry.

Once you pay for the test you go to Examity to schedule it.

Thank you for sharing! And good luck on your new journey ?

Thank you so much for sharing all your stats! Congratulations and good luck on your new chapter! ?

Oh okay got it, thank you! She sounds like she's annoyed. LOL

What did they tell you?

That is weird, but yeah you'll just have to wait for the official. I hope they start sending out acceptances for the San Mateo campus this week too!

A huge congrats to all those who got in! So awesome!! ? Good luck on your new chapter!! ?

Keep scrolling down, you should see the a big circle with a paper inside and underneath it'll say your first choice program and campus. And underneath all that it should say Congratulations or Your application is being reviewed in small letters. It's easier for me to see it when I am using my phone.

No problem, glad I can help! ?

Hi saanef, no I have not heard from them.

I plan on applying to the SF State Extension ABSN program since it is in San Mateo as well, 15 months and half the cost of SMU. Just to have some options if I don't get in this time.

One of the admissions counselor emailed me today that decisions should be going out within a week or two and thanked me for my patience. Thought that was nice of her to say shows she understands what we are going through.

They should be used to getting tons of emails every cohort regarding admission decisions, is not new to them. So if emailing them helps some people they should go right ahead.

Thank you, good luck as well! ?

Yes, I think the timeline is different too. And it seems they have different staff for each program to review.

Not sure if the timeline is the same for us as it is for the BSN program because I never received the email of the delay and getting notified until Nov. 10th. I've only received the preliminary review email back in August. And every time I attend an info session they always say mid-October so hopefully we find out soon.

Last info session I attended they said they had around 300 apps for 48 spots. They usually get around 150 apps per cohort. I keep hearing we’ll hear from admissions around mid October for the January cohort. So hopefully this week or the next! ???

In an info session they said it can be remote proctored due to COVID.

They were not planning on delaying the Summer April/June 2020 cohorts that's why they originally had two deadlines. But since they were delayed they could not start the fall November start date cohort and now they are starting it in January. I don't think is for no reason because they'll take a look at both applications and see what improvements you made and that you really want to be in their program since you applied twice. So you should be fine.

The 5/1 and 7/1 deadlines are both starting on January '21. The ones prior to that were delayed but are not starting with the January '21 cohort.

Hi PRNurse, Make sure you sign up with the same NursingCAS email not just log in.
