Good luck! Oakland is the most competitive campus and SMU’s admissions process seems to be unpredictable, so maybe taking the TEA’s again will help your
Yes, I read all of the information in the brochure. I was referring to the lottery specifically. Has the college shared information about what kind of lottery is used for the selection process? I’m...
Hey, I’m not the OP, but I do agree with much of what you’re saying. My comment was in reference to SMU nurses I’ve worked with throughout the Bay Area. They’ve all told me they felt less...

Same. SFSU is actually my first choice, but I have very little hope that I'll get in. CSU nursing schools in general are insanely competitive. As for volunteer experience, I've worked in healthcare...
