I would like to think so, considering that the ABSN is supposed to be more competitive than the BSN program.

It doesn't hurt to apply when you some have pre-reqs in progress. Some of my peers got accepted into the Samuel Merritt ABSN program with 3 pre-reqs in progress, so it's definitely possible to get into the program while you have pre-reqs in progress....

My gpa (science, pre-req, previous degree, overall) was about 3.5-3.6 when I got accepted! When I first came on this forum, I was very discouraged by the high gpas, but don't fret. There are schools that look at your overall application and not just ...

Where are you from? I took my CPR class from Safety Training for $80 in sf. They have multiple locations. But it sounds like Brandie got a really good deal!

I read 03/21 as a date. If you are #3, I think you have a great shot!

What number are you on the waitlist? From past cohorts, it looks like waitlisters have a good chance on getting in! Don't give up hope!!

Since you're supposed to send in your transcripts to them, they will see if you had failed a class. Some nursing schools require a B- or higher in a pre-req. Some schools will average the 2 grades, some schools will look at the most recent grade you ...

tlsmith29, I applied to the San Mateo campus. It seems like they are notifying the San Mateo applicants. Not sure why though...since Oakland starts before the San Mateo one.

I received my acceptance email at 2 in the morning. I am excited to meet you all and so glad that the wait is over. I wish the best to those who haven't heard back yet!

Looking through last year's thread for the San Mateo cohort, applicants heard on 3/22. They received calls during the evening time? They may notify us in the evening, so keep your ears peeled!

No word yet... We might as well enjoy the weekend! I really hope we receive good news next week.

It's a hybrid course so it does have in-class labs and such. I would think that most nursing schools would accept it, but then again, some nursing schools may have a different take on what's an appropriate course. I think they usually specify if they...

I hope those who applied to ABSN Oakland hear soon! That way...they can move onto San Mateo :)

I definitely understand how hard it is to get into anatomy/physiology classes. It's a never-ending waitlist! Samuel Merritt offers anatomy & physiology but it's sorta of pricy though ($500+/unit). It's a hybrid class meaning that you'll meet for ...

If I get accepted, I'll be commuting from SF. I wish you well in your last pre-req!

I noticed for the academic calendar for ABSN Oakland and ABSN San Mateo (June cohort) that registration dates are the same 4/15/2013-4/19/2013. I hope we all find out soon! I've been checking my email constantly and made sure to always have my phone ...

I'm also a UCD alum with a B.S. in biology. I took the majority of my pre-reqs at UCD. The science classes aren't easy and some of them are quite impacted. MIC101 includes lab so you can opt out of MIC102+MIC102L. Anatomy is really difficult to get i...

My friend who applied (1st choice) to the June cohort got an offer to be in the April cohort for San Mateo. Did anyone else get this??

I'm so anxious to hear the results...I think I'd have to wait 3 more months to hear back about the decisions since I applied for the June cohort. In the meantime, I'm temporarily working as well-- seeing that the tuition is $$$.

"Your application has passed the SMU Admission review and has been found complete. It will be further forwarded to the Nursing department for the next evaluation process." I had received this email about 2 days ago. I guess we still have a couple...

I am a pre-nursing student in the 19-21 age group. I am curious as to wonder...all these people who applied with gpa with 4.0. Did you guys come from a community college? To me, it's a bit discouraging because I am a pre-nursing student who goes to a...

I hope this thread is still alive. For the ABSN program, how does admission look at your GPA? I know that a lot second degree students apply for the ABSN program and from reading various threads in this forum, the GPAs seem to be really for some. Wil...
