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?
I met with a counselor this morning to discuss re applying for Spring 2011 in case I don't get in during the Fall. She said for Fall 2010, there were 175 applicants and 48 spots. No word on when we will find out, but I did receive an email from another counselor that they would receive the list by this week.
I received a call this afternoon from a counselor letting me know I have been accepted for the Fall 2010 SF Cohort! I'm super excited. Good luck to all who haven't heard and to all who are in so far I look forward to meeting you guys!
Hello! I received a call yesterday too from a counselor letting me know that I had been accepted. Anyone else heard any news? Good luck to those who haven't heard yet!
Are you sure that they are making them in alphabetical order? I mean it does make since but you never know. Remember, a lot of people apply and get into many places and some people change their mind. I saw in an earlier post that one person has already turned down their acceptance . So it will be a while before anything is set in stone. Stay positive. I'm rooting for you!
Thanks.
