Samuel Merritt ABSN Fall 2019

[Cef8616]

Hi everyone! Just wanted to get the conversation started for those who applied for the ABSN Fall 2019 cohort. I applied for the Sacramento location but would love to connect with all who applied in general! Good luck everyone!

I can’t believe we have to go through another weekend of this ? I’m glad we have this forum, makes it a little easier knowing I’m not alone with the anxiety.

For those who have taken the HESI more than once. Is version 2 really harder than version 1?

[pandamonium521]

I thought so. Especially in the English and A&P sections. I fully intend to improve on my scores but did far worse in some of the English sections and A&P. Example I received a 92 in A&P in version 1 but a 76 in version 2.

Oh wow.. I was told version 2 was harder but I just wanted to make sure. I’ll see if I can take version 1 with another school code. Thank you!

Drea143, I don’t recall that there was any appreciable difference between my version 1 and version 2. There were some questions that were the same and some that were different. If it was more difficult, I may not have noticed because I studied quite a bit more for the second test?

At this point, all bets are off. Who knows when we’ll hear? It’s super frustrating. I know it must be for everyone.

[Aman888888]

Definitely is frustrating... but hopefully the results are positive for everyone...

why doesn't anyone try calling maybe?

I just tried emailing Katharine Levya in Sacramento and I got an automated response saying she was out of the office from May 14-15! That’s not a good sign. Has she been gone this whole time?? Yikes.

I had emailed Katharine about something after May 15 and received the same message. A different woman actually responded to it. I can't recall her name, nor can I find the email. However, it seemed odd to me. I wonder if her phone message says the same thing?

I'll be off the grid starting Wednesday, so now I feel even worse about this whole thing. At this point, I'm prepping everything for a July 1st reapplication and hoping SMU is more organized than they seem.
