This is a new thread for anyone that has applied to Samuel Merritt's Accelerated BSN programs in San Francisco, Oakland, or San Mateo for 2010 entry.
This is my second application for admission. San Mateo had a July 1 and Nov 1 deadline, I applied to both. I received a letter the first week in November (in regards to the July 1 deadline) that I was number 48 of 50 waitlisted. This was the first I heard from them regarding that application!! So I am pretty sure I will not be offered admission to that program. Does it seem like a long time that it takes approx 3 1/2 to 4 months to hear anything regarding admission?
I don't know if being waitlisted once will help my chances of getting into any of their other programs or not. I emailed them shortly after the November 1st deadline to find out how long before we will hear anything. And they said they will not be sending out admission offers until at least mid-February!!
I would love to hear from anyone else that has experience with Samuel Merritt's admission process especially from those that were accepted recently. Does anyone know how many applications they receive?
Did she give you an idea of how many people they have heard back from? I'm just wondering if there were only 6 people who turned down their acceptance, or they just haven't reached everyone yet who hasn't sent in their deposits....
I called yesterday and a very nice woman in the admissions office told me to contact the director of admissions, who should be back in the office now. So, i would contact her and ask your position since our counselor is on vacation.
Email her--you can look her up on the website ( I can't post names or emails here--but her initials are AS, she is the director of Admissions). She got right back to me.
