Thank you! I applied to the Sacramento campus. Tbh I never knew my stats, other than I graduated in 2018 with a pretty low GPA - 3.1. I focused on really transforming my application. Last Summer I retook Pathophysiology and Pharmacology together and got A’s, took Chem and Cultural Anthropology and received A’s, got CNA certified in March, and scored a 94% overall on the HESI. My personal statements were also very strong this time around. Since October of last year I’ve work as a caregiver and asked my director with a MSN to write my LOR.

Way to go— I’m super stoked to for you! 
I had A’s in all my sciences but had to retake them recently bc they expired, got the same grade second time around. Hoping that makes an impact on my app!

Thank you everyone who was accepted for sharing their stats! I’m assuming most of you on here are planning to accept their admission offer but since I’m waitlisted I figured I’d ask if anybody plans on declining the offer if they were accepted to another program? Trying to see if there will be any movement on the list this round.

Congrats to those who've been accepted so far for the Sacramento campus and good luck to everyone else waiting to find out their admission results! ? Hopefully we find out for San Mateo by next week.

For those that have been admitted on the student portal, have you received an official email yet? I haven't received an email from SMU and yesterday I called the admissions office and the lady I spoke to said it's not official until you receive an email. So now I'm nervous because I haven't received an email. 

[Denise32]

Hi, never mind I just received the official email at 8:07am.

Congratulations! Did anyone else receive an email?

[Eugene Le]

Got an acceptance email at 0806.

Congratulations to everyone who got acceptances! When do you need to accept or decline the offer? I’m waitlisted so I want to get an idea of when I should expect potential spots opening up.
