Samuel Merritt ABSN Spring 2018

Published

Hey guys! I'm new to this forum but has anyone applied for Spring 2018 Cohort yet? I'm not sure if the applications are open yet but that is the cohort that I want to apply to. I will have my BA in Sociology in December 2017 and I am still doing my prerequisites. If you've already applied or are a current student, let me know if you think I'll have a chance at getting in.

Degree: BA in Sociology

Last 60 unit GPA: 3.4 (hoping to raise it to 3.6 by end of year)

Science GPA: 3.5 (still need to do Microbiology & Physiology)

Non-Science: 3.1 (Completed all)

CNA License: Yes

Paid Job Experience: Yes for 1.5 years

*Haven't taken HESi exam yet, but I will this month

Please help, what were your GPA's when you got in and when did you find out you were accepted? Also, if you were ever on the waitlist, when did you finally get accepted?

I wrote them because I have a commitment deadline for another program coming up and was wondering where they are in the process - they said 1-2 weeks for decision notifications so hopefully that's accurate!

I emailed Kirsten today, she said the decisions won't be out until late October to early November. Not sure what's going on. Hope we hear soon

I also heard the same from Kirsten. But I also think she is the admissions counselor for the Oakland campus- correct? Maybe that is just for Oakland? Has anyone heard from Derric (he is the admissions counselor for San Mateo- right?).

Kirsten is the counselor in Sacramento. So I'm really not when we'll hear back.

Yes the person I spoke to was Derric, who is the admissions counselor for San Mateo, so it must be different for the different campuses.

This is my theory: I think admission decisions for Sacramento are sent out the same time they send out ELMSN because a lot of the same people have probably applied to both programs and ELMSN interviews aren't even gonna start until the end of this month, so finding out in October would make sense. BUT since San Mateo only has aBSN program, then they probably send out their decision earlier.

I really hope so! Working on my patience over here!!! :)

I emailed Derric, and he said the decisions will be sent out in October. Can't wait any longer. Lolí ½í¸‚

Hi CAjingle! Thank you for the information!

It sounds like decisions for the San Mateo campus for Spring 2018 should be coming out in the next 1-2 weeks!

Good luck everyone! :)

Roosky15 is correct, Derric emailed me a few days later and said decisions will be sent "in October." So forget the 1-2 weeks from last week I guess!

I've refreshed my email so many times hoping to see an email from SMU! The wait is killing me! What has everyone been doing to keep your minds off the anticipated email?

I am doing the same- you're not alone. SMU is the only school I applied to, and I have really put ALL of my effort into getting in so I am really quite anxious without knowing!! I'm trying to just think positively and prepare for beginning in January (as if I have already been accepted)-- bought a new little lunch bag, a new watch, getting advice from nurse friends, etc. POSITIVE MANIFESTING! Other than that, I'm actually trying to not talk about it TOO much to anyone (because then everyone will keep asking if I've heard yet)-- so really just trying to distract myself and enjoy my fairy simple life right now- before crazy, busy 2018!
