I'm new to this site, but have been following the allnurses posts regarding Samuel Merritt program applications religiously for a while now. I recently applied to the ABSN and ELMSN - FNP program for the July 1 deadline. Thought it would be great to have a place to provide insight, stay updated and share experiences with all of you through this terrifying journey. I mean we ONLYYY have to wait until October - November to hear anything. Let the wait begin.....
I was accepted into the Sacramento ABSN! Can't wait to meet all of you! I would to like to be apart of the FB group too!
The letter of intent thing is kinda weird. I've clicked accept and paid the deposit. But I clicked the link again and it keeps allowing me to accept. I've accepted it at least 10 times. Haha
Regarding letter of intent that happened to me yesterday with ELMSN I thought it wasn't going through but today I received confirmation email and now my checklist shows other items!!! So be patient also only pay once! Haha
I got the acceptance email for San Mateo today. I'm kinda shocked. It says to submit a letter of intent and a $350 deposit by October 17th, but I'm also waiting to hear back from UC Davis' MEPN in November. I'm not sure which one I'd go with if I got into both (which is why I applied to both). I'm fine eating the deposit if it comes to that, but are there any legal or professional ramifications for backing out of a letter of intent or further enrollment steps? Davis just said they'd be sending out final decisions "sometime in November".
I also applied to UC Davis MEPN. A friend of mine who graduated from their program last year said she didn't year back until March. I think we hear back about making the first cut in November not if we're actually in the program.

Ahhh yeah I think you're right; I just read Davis' email again and it says "All applicants will receive an e-mail notification by the end of November with an update on their application status." That makes it pretty straightforward then. I'm not turning down SMU on a "maybe".
Yeah, as much as Davis would be awesome! It seems like they need to figure out how to manage their timelines better to avoid losing students to other schools that accept earlier. Congrats on SMU though!
Just out of curiosity, how many of you that were accepted to Sac ABSN also applies to the ELMSN program too? (Just curious if it's the double applicants who are hearing first?)
