Samuel Merritt Absn spring 2015 San Mateo

[ukg12]

Hi. So I submitted my application yesterday for the spring 2015 absn program at the San Mateo campus. Who else has applied?

[Task816]

@terankin For TEAS, my reading was 90.5 and math was 83.3. Overall, my adjusted score was 87.3. I used the TEAS V study guide from ATI to prepare for it.

For those that haven't heard anything yet, don't give up hope just yet. I'm pretty sure they went alphabetically since they said it took a while to get to my last name but I don't think they've given out the waitlist spots yet. From what I've read, there's usually quite a few spots that get in from the waitlist.

@egee Yes on the facebook group! Can't wait to meet everybody!

@Task816: I can't figure out how to make it without any of you being my Facebook friend. Can you?

Thanks guys. Yeah my TEAS is way low, the math at least. But I am a combat medic in the Air Force Reserve, an EMT, my GPA was pretty solid and I have a lot of volunteer experience medical and otherwise which I was really hoping would help out. I applied to Sac first but stated that I would attend either, right now it's not looking too good for me. I am sincerely very excited for all of you that got in. While I am sweating the fact that I haven't received any news one way or another-it's nice to know I am not alone. Keep your chins up guys, our time will come. If not this time then next time.

Just got an email that I've been waitlisted. Not the best news but here's hoping it moves.

@terankin, I'm with you, I completely feel your pain. I don't get it. Looking at your stats your a complete shoo in. My healthcare experience was a bit low, I've only been a CNA for this year. Maybe thats what the problem is for me. Maybe we're desitned for a completely different program. Congrats to all those that have got in, tho! Best of luck to all.

@demash: The waitlists tend to move a lot. My friend who graduated from the program in 2008 was 12th on the waitlist for her cohort.

Those of you that are admitted, (Congrats to you) who did you receive the call from?

[terankin]

At least you have been wait listed @demash! I wish someone would just contact me and say, hey you didn't get in-here is why! That way I could at least have some idea how to be more competitive next time.

Yes let's start a fb group. I don't know how to do it though

@terankin TEAS Reading 88.1; Math 96.7; Overall 92.7. And fellow EMT. Yeah you're stats seem similar to mine other than the TEAS. Hopefully you get some good news soon!
