Saeed.

Hello everyone! I just wanted to start a thread for the Spring 2021 term at SMU. Has anyone applied or planning on applying? Feel free to drop your stats and scores!

This is happening to me too. Have you taken the TEAS or HESI?

Has anyone got an email yet?

Hi, Go to the ‘ references’ page and you add the person and their email address. NursingCAS will reach out to the people on your reference’s list via the email you provide. You do not have to email the school. hope that helps! E...

Sure, my last name is Saeed so it will be S. I haven't heard anything from SMU yet.

When were you guys told you'll hear back?

I just saw someone ask when the emails will be sent out and Shawna said today and tomorrow.

No problem. I hope we all get accepted. I can't believe that there's only 6 more days until we hear back. Good Luck!

Hi everyone, I was planning on applying to Samuel Merritt (SMU), but I was wondering if they’re are any current or past SMU students who can share their thoughts and experience with the program. I would also appreciate if any other pre nursing studen...

Thank You for you input, it was very helpful. I think SMU seems like a very good school and I heard nothing but great things about it. It's the price that got me, but it seems worth it.

Hi, Try to enroll in one micro or physio. You can have one Science class not done and do it over the fall. I don’t think they allow to have more then 1 Science course though. If you can enroll in either class, you should be good. And why isn’t your c...

Try crisis text line. There are other online volunteer opportunities you can find on volunteermatch.org. Hope that helps and good luck!

Yes, the HESI is not required! Here a pic of the first semester of the BSN program. You can go to a live chat and ask for the ABSN

The word limit is 250-300. I know it says 200-250 on the very top, but if you look under each question it says 250-300. In a live chat we were told to go with the 250-300 word limit. Hope that helps

There are online volunteer opportunity if you want to check that out. Having a 4.0 Science GPA will help a lot too. Good luck!

Even if they’re not using the HESI, just put your results up in the application since you got a really good score. It might give you some advantage.

For the GPA, SMU only counts your prerequisite courses towards it. If you got a C or lower on say, public speaking, it won’t count towards you GPA since it’s not a prerequisite.

Hi, Yes, I’m currently doing the 5 essay questions.

I apply but I’m not sure if I will get accepted. Your not required to apply, and I’m not even sure if it will still happen.

Can you tell us more about how the program was. I was debating not going to SMU due to cost but I heard a lot of good things.

You can find it on SMU’s website. It has a lot to do with the connection the university has with hospitals in the bay. Most nurses I meet are also from SMU and they said that being SMU grad helped them a lot.

WOW!! you sound very competitive. Do you think they count human development towards our science GPA?

Is anybody applying to any other program?

You sound pretty competitive. I hope we can get accepted.

Don’t worry about it, my GPA might change after I get the grades from this semester too. Did you finish all your prerequisites or have volunteer hours?
