Samuel Merritt ABSN Fall 2014

Published

Hello everyone! I didn't see a thread started for the SMU ABSN program Fall 2014 yet. I'm turning in my application tomorrow and I'm getting really nervous. Just wanted to see who else is applying and what were everyone's stats.

Stats:

Science GPA: 3.6

Last 60 GPA: 3.2

TEAS V Overall: 73.5%

Good luck to everyone!

TEAS 90 something %

Science prerequisites 4.0

Phone call with conditional acceptance on completing pharmacology and pathophysiology by end of summer.

I may or may not accept. I've got some serious thinking to do.

Good luck everyone!

For acceptances, what was your TEAS score?

Hello! I got an acceptance call this afternoon also. Yey! However I am now a bit worried re the pharma and patho classes as I am hoping to do them this summer but they need my physio final grade (which will be completed in a few weeks) so still need many things to go right to actually be accepted I think! For those who want to know re teas: TEAS 83%. Another friend had the same TEAS score and did not get in...

Anyone accepted mind sharing their health care experience?

For any who care to know, I had TEAS 94% and got accepted today. There are so many facets that they look at that I think it's virtually impossible to predict. I am a 4.0, but I had heard of other 4.0 candidates from previous cohorts who were rejected or waitlisted. I did hear that I had outstanding letters of recommendation, so that likely helped. And I have some real life experience with health issues in family members, but nothing professional. I think the bottom line is that they look at the candidate overall and try to determine that person's ability to succeed in an accelerated environment.

Still waiting to hear back.

I believe I also read that people who were wait-listed for one cohort and didn't get in had gotten accepted for the following cohort. Not sure how often that happens but there is always a chance!

I got my acceptance call this afternoon! :up: Congrats to everyone who has gotten in! And to those who haven't heard, there is still hope!

Congrats CurlyNurse76! You will be fine as long a you finish up those classes before August 31. Many people (me included) still needed pharm and patho at the time of application. Where are you planning to take these classes? I got in for the summer at Santa Barbara CC, and there were lots of open seats when I registered. The only caveat is, as you mentioned, you will need your physio official grade (transcript) in order to register at Santa Barbara as it is a pre-req. So hopefully you can speed it down there, or whichever school you are choosing, and still get in. Good luck pulling it all together. I hope it works out for you!

Was notified via email this morning of my acceptance. Kinda surprised not to have received a phone call like the previous posts.

I don't know about the phone calls, why some were called and others not. It must be a lengthy process to communicate all the decisions to everyone. Maybe it was a time issue, or maybe you will be phoned later today. Anyway, congrats jh3697!

I wonder if those called still had coursework to do and others did not?
