For those that went to the panel interview - is that where they asked you about your top two choices for units?

Best of luck, everyone!!! I am also interested to see what units area available this time around :) bluechick112, thank you so much for the kind words about the program! What unit did you end up in?

crossed fingers!

shall we hope that they never made calls? fingers crossed!

Whew...this thread is making my heart race! Good luck to everyone!!!

I got a call on July 5th, so there is still hope! Now... for the interview...

congrats, Mal! there is a facebook page for san mateo ABSN summer entry students! Join so we can begin our connections! Search: Summer 2011 San Mateo ABSN (Samuel Merritt) im so excited to start the program! wooooo!

thanks a ton!

Ash: that is so nice of you to offer info! It is very much appreciated, as I am sure you know :). And now...for the questions! 1) Are there particular scrubs that we are supposed to wear? Just wondering if it would be worth it to start looking, or if we are to be given a uniform of sorts. Silly question, I know. 2) How many hours a week are clinicals, typically? Is 5 days a week the most that people do clinicals for? 3) thanks a ton!

Hey San Mateo future students! There is a facebook group for us that only has a few members. Join, so we can get connected! Search: Samuel Merritt University ABSN San Mateo Summer 2011

heeeeello all! I just got accepted to the San Mateo cohort today :) I applied in late August, but didn't find out on the day everyone else found out. After a string of emails and calls, I found out that my application never made it to San Mateo! Everything worked out after contacting the very helpful director of admissions, but I would have LOVED to know earlier. Now, for planning! :)

Thanks! I have a feeling that today might just be the day... but who knows. I have been in contact with ----, and she has been very delightful and helpful in figuring this all out. I applied about a week before the Sep 1 deadline, and received confirmation emails from SM that they have my application and such. I have a feeling that something fell through the cracks seeing as I turned in 3 supplemental transcripts (from fall 2010 classes) and 1 cert of completion, although I have been assured that my app. is complete. Soooo we will see! Again, thanks you guys for the support. Not many people understand the competitive nature of nursing school, so I super appreciate it!

I have confirmed that SM has everything, including letters of rec and transcripts.... in addition to the ones that were in progress. Booooo

March 1, and I am still waiting on a decision for San Mateo. Big time . They have my application, and it is still "under review" in San Mateo. Am I the only one that doesn't know about their admission status?

thanks for the crossed fingers! I will take anything I can get :) In terms of ------...Well... I think I bugged her too much already, and don't wanna be too needy. I super need to know by tomorrow so I can be prepared to either submit my application or to hang on to 50 bucks. My plan: hang out there after work and if I don't hear, then I will submit the application. Ooooo gosh this has become way too complicated!
