Yes, also go to checklist and scroll to the bottom, it’ll say you’ve been admitted.

Check the portal. Admission decisions are in for Oakland!

Thanks for sharing. I may have to proceed with EB based on SMU taking too long to respond.

Ideally, they should have their results in before 12/01 to keep students from applying to a different cohort, but thats just my opinion. It’s hard to gauge when we will have an answer because of this new deadline as it was previously 12/01 for the Oakland program. The 09/01 deadline was for Spring 2022 and Summer 2022 this year. From what I read, the Spring 2022 students were notified around 10/15 which means it took them 1.5 months to review the applications. I assume they worked exclusively with the Spring program and then moved on to reviewing applications for the Summer 2022 program. If that’s the case 1.5 months after 10/15 brings us to the end of November. Fingers crossed. I am admitted to CSUEB’s Spring cohort and have submitted deposits etc. But my first choice is SMU due to the length of the program. I’m in my mid 30’s so doing an extra 1.5yrs with EB just seems like too much time. And I’ve taken extra classes required for SMU which would be a waste if I go to CSUEB. I’m still pretty conflicted with my decision though as EB is much closer to me and cheaper. Ultimately, if I get in I will most likely opt for SMU. I hope answers come soon, I feel bad for holding up a seat if I’m not going to attend EB. I’ve attempted to research both programs in terms of quality, student success/satisfaction, difficulty, etc. but I haven’t really found any reliable info and I don’t know anyone who has attended either program. If anyone has insight into this please share.

The only other program I applied to was CSUEB. This is my first choice though, so I'm waiting to hear back. Other SM programs are too far for me to commute to/from and I don't want to pay a toll ?

I attended the ABSN drop in. The counselor said we may hear by the end of November or early December.

It's sometime in May, but I don't know the exact date.

Nope, I’m getting impatient LOL.

Hello, I don’t know if this thread is still active, but wanted to reach out to see if I can potentially get some feedback from students who are already in the program. I have applied for next years program and am waiting to hear back on whether I am accepted. However, I was admitted to CSUEB nursing program and may have to make the decision between these 2 programs. At this time, SMU is my first choice based on time. SMU is 1 year vs CSUEB which is 2.5 years. Is it possible to provide me with feedback in regards to how intense the program is I.e school/ life balance? Also, do you feel like the quality of education is adequate? As in do you feel like you’re actually learning and/or are being prepared? And possibly pros/cons to program. Thank you!

I hope so. I applied to the ABSN program in Oakland. Waiting for an update...
