Samuel Merritt ABSN Fall 2020

Oh man! I for some reason thought they would release all acceptance for both campuses at the same time because it was the same application date. Has anyone spoken to peninsula campus administration on when we are expected to hear?

For the application that was due May 1, the only option was Sacramento. Due to COVID they had to push back the start for the June San Mateo cohort therefore there is no November San Mateo cohort. For the application that was due July 1, I believe acceptances will be released September. I hope that answers your question :)

CONGRATS to everyone who has been accepted! and to those who have not received acceptances yet or have been denied this cycle: do not give up!

Does anyone know any updates regarding doing the program in person or partly online? I have not heard anything about this and don't think I can justify paying 80-90k for an online education.

Also, is anyone interested in starting facebook group for the Fall 2020 Sacramento cohort?

This is a good question. There has not been any update on what the plan for fall 2020 is in regards to online instruction and the impact that has on tuition cost seeing as we won't have access to facility features like the library and lab.

I hope more information will be revealed. Entering a rigrous program in the middle of a global pandemic.

My acceptance was for Sacramento. I heard the current students are doing all clinicals at UCD med center and the rest of instruction is online, but I'm not sure what the plan is for fall.

Hey! I saw you mention in another thread some information that was passed on to you in regards to financing tuition for the program. Unfortunately, I can’t private message you on here since I just signed up for an account. Do you mind sending me a message with that information?

I'm in for the Sac ABSN program as well! Does anyone know anything about plans for the fall in terms of online vs in person classes? Clinicals?

I haven't heard anything and they are so hard to get a hold of. It's a critical factor in terms of paying for tuition and moving from they Bay up north for me.

Any insights are much appreciated! CONGRATS to everyone else who got in!
