Out of curiosity, what campus are you guys hoping to go to?

Hi! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was told by an admission counselor that the priority deadline was 4/1? Based off past trends it seems like people start hearing back about a month and a half after the priority deadline.

Wait. Was there always a fall application for Oakland? When I applied for the April 1 deadline I don't remember seeing an option for Oakland...

Has anyone heard anything since yesterday? Waitlists or anything at all?

Does anyone happen to know the number of applicants they accept for each campus?

Huge congrats to everyone that got accepted!! Out of curiosity tho, did those accepted get a preliminary review completion email? If so, how soon after submitting your application?

Before applying, I met with one of the admission advisors and he told me it should be about 6-8 weeks after the applications closes...but that was before the deadline got extended. The current deadline is about 6 weeks after the first one, so I'm not sure how that will affect sending out decisions.

I wonder if the application being extended will also extend the time that we hear back about decisions...

Yea, my guess is they're either doing it by campus or when the application was submitted. I submitted mine rather close to the deadline though LOL so maybe they're going in reverse chronological order? Either way I'm sure we will all be getting more updates soon!!

The email said: "Thank you for your interest in Samuel Merritt University. This email confirms that we have completed our preliminary review of your application(s). If you used AP and/or IB credit to fulfill any prerequisites, please note that you will need to provide an official, sealed score report, reflecting passing scores, if you are admitted. Please refer to the website for details re: program specific prerequisite deadlines. Email is the official method of communication. If you are expecting an email from us please check your spam and junk folders before calling. Throughout the application process you will receive notifications and updates when they are appropriate. Please refrain from calling the admission office as this slows the application review timeline. We look forward to working with you this application cycle."

I put San Mateo as my primary campus and Sac as my secondary campus

Heyo! Did everyone else receive an email about preliminary review completion?

Hi, I'm almost done filling out the application for the Fall 2025 cohort and I know it's optional, but I was wondering if anyone else decided to take the TEAS?
