Yes! Wishing you best of luck! I have a feeling they don't have as many applicants as they have in the past with all the negative student reviews. I'm thinking you will all get in ?

It was! I am still feeling uneasy about the lack of preceptorship but otherwise very excited!

Got the official email this morning that I've been admitted to Summer 1 at the San Mateo campus!

I have no idea! I would love to know this too. I applied for the Summer 2024 cohort so I'm not a current student. But maybe @Mysmece can provide more details for you.

SMU no longer offers preceptorships to students – a pretty big loss. You can read more about it in this post: https://allnurses.com/samuel-merritt-ABSN-overview-t756156/

Thank you so much for the insights!! ? ?

Thank you for sharing your experience! It's nice and refreshing to read a current student's perspective that is not negative. Which campus are you currently studying at? I am mostly concerned about the lack of preceptorship. Have they addressed this at all?

Thank you so much for calling and sharing this information! It's extremely helpful. I completely agree with @pilacat about it feeling unfair to those of us that applied by the December 1st deadline.

Nothing yet for me! I was considering trying to call because other programs I applied to are looking for commitments soon. It would be very nice to know before April so students can plan accordingly. I.e. put in notice at work, commit to other schools if not accepted, etc. According to the academic calendar linked below, ABSN Summer 1 classes in San Mateo begin April 29. So only finding out if we were accepted in April seems a little crazy. https://www.samuelmerritt.edu/discover/student-experience/student-affairs/registrars-office

According to the academic calendar that I found for the ABSN program here, https://www.samuelmerritt.edu/discover/student-experience/student-affairs/registrars-office, Summer I at San Mateo starts on April 29, 2024. It also has New Student Orientation for Summer I at San Mateo scheduled for April 4 - April 5, 2024. I would hope that we will be finding out very soon to give us enough time to plan and get situated. April seems like it would be way too late for those of us hoping to get in for Summer I. I keep reading all these awful stories about the lack of organization at this school and I hope this isn't the case with admissions already ? ? ?

Hi! I also applied for Summer I & II 2024 @ San Mateo and Oakland.
