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?
Unfortunately I don't know. I applied for financial aid but know one has contacted me in regards to my funding. This might be because my acceptance is contingent on me passing my summer school classes (2 weeks left). I did notice that on my SMU student file there is a tab about entrance loan counseling. So all in all I have no clue but I'm hoping funding is available because I dont have 50K laying around for a rainy day. LOL!
You need CPR for healthcare providers. I suggest taking it through the American heart association that way there is no question about their accredidation. Just renewed mine this morning. I took it in San Ramon through Heart Start CPR. Cost was $60.00 and you need to buy or borrow an AMA BLS for health care providers manual 2006 version. They are about 10 bucks online or you can purchase at the class for $15. Here is the website if you're interested. www.heartstartcpr.net. They offer classes on tuesdays and saturdays. Only 2 hours. Not bad at all. Hope this helps:)
