Oh my goodness, that wasn't far on the waitlist at all! I was 32 and now I'm 17. Hoping for good news but won't be surprised if none!

Good luck!! You never know honestly I had a friend who was 37 on the waitlist and got in! It was about a month before classes started though so be prepared to start quick if this is the school you're waiting on.

Oh wow! That's crazy. I had no idea that they keep you on the waitlist for that period of time. Here's hoping! Did you accept their offer of admission? How much deposit do they ask for? Sorry for all the questions!

Yes I accepted! It is $350 for the deposit. And no worries, glad to help!

Great! Thank you for the information. I'm hoping I get in from the waitlist. But if not I'm already prepping for next cohort. Best of luck in nursing school!

Hello Everyone! I graduated in April 2015 and the program was the most amazing experience. Those on the waitlist. They usually take at least the first 10 because people tend to drop if financial aid doesn't come through or what not. good luck!! Any other questions feel free to message me!

Oh also I'm getting rid of 2 xs scrub tops for 30$. I would recommend having 3 because after clinical and care plans its impossible to wash your stuff because all you want to do is sleep after. PM if interested. it can get expensive at SMU!!

Hi there! I'm interested in your scrubs and any advice you can give a new student! I'm starting in the fall. For some reason, I'm not able to PM you through allnurses, maybe you can send a message to me? Thanks!
