Samuel Merritt ABSN Fall 2011

Published

I figured it was about time for a thread for this cohort, especially as we're getting close to hear back for the Nov. 2011 SF cohort. Did anyone else apply this cycle?

jnl921- Ok, that is good to know. Thank you so much for that. Ref. letters is always the hardest to ask for (don't like to bug people over and over again lol).

I was number 29 so I doubt I get in...don't want to sound pessimistic, but I'm being realistic.

I am with you fingerscrossed12.. on the wait list and hoping for some good news. According to EB, we should be able to have a better idea of where we stand after July 1, as that is when the letters of intent are due for accepted students. Congrats to those who were accepted and good luck to all those on the wait list!! ;-)

Anyone know how big the class is?

I believe there are 48 students.

Specializes in NICU.

I know someone who was #38 on the waiting list for the summer cohort last year and ended up being accepted to her second choice campus a couple weeks before classes started. There are more spots in that cohort than this one, but it gives and idea of what's possible. I was #27 for summer this year and wasn't accepted, but got in this round. (I think showing dedication to the school by applying multiple times must count for something.)

sosophia-how come your friend got accepted but not you, if your friend was below you on the waiting list? If you don't mind me asking? I am just curious.

Specializes in NICU.

She was accepted last year after being on the waitlist. I was rejected (after applying 5 months late...) this year.

sosophia-Oh ok. I am sorry I miss-read your message.

for those in the waitlist:

i just received this from eb:

your place in the wl may soon change dramatically for the fall sf entry, however at this stage we would like to open the opportunity for you to roll into subsequent cohorts and compete without a need for re-application, or fees.

I just got that too! That's a good sign that she is emailing us with updates, not us having to stalk her ;)

I got that email too. So just to clarify everyone else 's understanding too, while I'm waiting for her response, we can roll our application for the following cohorts AND still be in the running for a spot in the fall cohort? She also said someone on the waitlist was already offered a spot so it is moving!
