Samuel Merritt ABSN - Spring 2019

Published

Hello!

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.....

Looking forward to hearing from you all :)

Did anyone ever receive an email from SMU about their application AFTER the preliminary review email? I know past cohorts have said that they got a "your application is in final review" emails, but I have not received a thing after the acknowledgement that I submitted and a confirmation of preliminary review.

BTW, I'm a literal basket case today. I don't know how to last until mid-October. :no:

I never got anything after the preliminary review email, which I got on 7/24.

Hi! I just wanted you all to know that I am giving up my ABSN seat (I'll be in the ELMSN)! I hope it helps one of you, don't give up!

Thank you for the heads up!

I got in on 8/3 and I only recieved the preliminary review email back in July(7/26). I also did not apply for the ELMSN program.

Congrats on your acceptance! Thank you for helping us stay positive!

Does anyone know if Columbus Day is likely to prevent letters from going out on Monday?

According to the academic calendar, they don't show a Columbus Day as a holiday, but that also doesn't prove they're there. I know that most companies and state agencies do not celebrate Columbus Day anymore. Even my kids, who have the day off, have it as a teacher work day...

Thanks for the info! I'm not off work Monday but wasn't sure if schools did it differently for students or faculty. Keep hanging in there everyone!

Pretty sure we would all make good detectives if nursing doesn't work out. Lol.

I hope they also have an accelerated program for that as well, Chris.
