I took Nutrition and Sociology at DVC. I tried to take my sciences there, but I could never get in. If you have trouble getting itno the classes as well, you should try Merritt Community College in Oakland. I never had any trouble and I had excellent profs there.

I scored a 94 composite (86 reading and 100 math I think). I also found the reading quite tricky. I studied a ton for it (from the online sample test and the practice book - both from ERI) and I still found it difficult.

Good luck Carlos. I'm sure you will do very well. Let us know how you think it went.

Samuel Merritt's ELMSN program.

Hi Rianna - they sent out confirmation emails that they received the applications back in Nov. or Dec.-- to the absn applicants, for at least the Oakland location (don't know about the others). I did not apply but I mistakenly received their emails for some reasons. If you're really curious I could even find the email and see what it said. Good luck! where are else are you waiting to hear from?

Mine had a science section as well as a bunch of other sections that don't count toward your final score (though they are scored, the school just supposedly doesn't look at them)

I would guess that there were 160 applicants for the FNP track. And I think they interviewed about 40 last year.

We were allowed to go back Polska. All you have to do is ask the instructors leading the test if it is allowed.

Is it mostly the ADN programs that have such high drop-out rates? Are most universities and accelerated/2nd degree and direct entry masters programs the same?

Hi - I applied to the ELMSN-NP program at SMC in Oakland this month, but I have not heard anything back. Did anyone else apply?

I hope so!!

I also applied to SMC for the ELMSN program. I think for the FNP track they have about 250 applications for about 25 slots, but I would guess they let in at least 50 if not closer to 75. But I think if you have good stats, you have a good chance to get in. I've also *heard* that the ABSN program in SF isn't too difficult to get into. And since they opened up four campuses, more people apply to the absn program, making the elmsn less competitive.

It seems they highly favor people who live, work and go to school in the south bay.

I didn't apply to sfsu, just smc. You could apply to Samuel Merritt, and see if you get in, and if do get in, you could *then* take those two extra classes. Or if you apply to the direct entry masters program, they don't require those two classes.
