Samuel Merritt ABSN Spring 2013

U.S.A. California

Published

Was looking around and couldn't find a thread for this.

Has anyone else applied to this program & which campus did you pick for first choice?

Would love to hear back from fellow applicants :)

Hello,

I got the email last week. All it is, is a email saying that all my transcripts have been received and so had my TEAS score. It didnt say anything else about deadlines or when they are going to tell who got in or not.

Once again Good Luck to All and I hope all of us get accepted!!!!

Hey everyone, I noticed on their website it says they're still accepting applications for Fall 2012. Does anyone know if that means they are still accepting apps for Spring 2013 as well?

Hey there,

My name is Eric and I applied to the Sacramento campus for 2013. I still have to finish anatomy, physiology lab and pathophysiology. I'm planning on taking the Excelsior's credit-by-examination test for the anatomy and phsyiology stuff and the patho through some online distance class. Has anyone taken the Excelsior A&P examination or know anyone that has?

I have received an email saying my application has been forwarded to the faculty for review. I'm sure as long as your application is complete you should get that email...

Also, does anyone know about the number of applicants for the Sacramento cohort?

Thanks everyone

Hi gambiansteph,

I would definitely call the campus of the cohort you are interested in attending (which I am assuming you were going to do). That way, you are sure you have the most accurate and up-to-date information. I am not sure how they could be accepting applications at the same time they are reviewing them for the Spring 2013 program (and I am really not sure how they could still be accepting for Fall 2012), especially since the letter I received today says we must submit our Letter of Intent by September 4th (12 days from now). It could be that our Letter of Intent due dates vary, though. In any case, calling will get you a for-sure answer.

Hope you get a favorable answer!

Hi Dumbleeric,

Did you notice on SMU's website that they have all of the other cohorts listed for last year, on the "Statistics at a Glance" portion of their website (SMU> Enrollment & Student Services> Admission> Statistics at a Glance)? However, they do not have Sacramento outlined. Anyway, it shows there were about 48 spots at the other campuses (which makes me think it may be similar in Sacramento or perhaps smaller). The acceptance rate I tabulated to be about 41% (not sure if that is for first-choice campus picks though).

Best wishes, Eric! I hope to meet you in about 11 weeks at Sacramento's orientation!

To those of you attending SMU Sacramento's ABSN 2013 Cohort,

I created a Facebook page for our cohort, hoping it will be helpful in the future should we need it! (If it works out better, I can switch it to a group page instead, but this stand-alone page is kind of nice.) I am not sure if it will come in handy or not, but I am hoping so. You can find it by entering "facebook" + "Samuel Merritt" + "2013" in Google (or even in Facebook). I'm not a frequent Facebooker, but I'm hoping it's one more source of support for each other we may want/need. I am not sure if this link will stay up or is permitted (my apologies if not okay, moderator):

Samuel Merrit University, Sacramento, ABSN Class of 2013.

I look forward to meeting you! :yelclap:
