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.....
Same. Only applied to SMU (twice now) and definitely going to broaden my search. Considering applying 1 more time to SMU though. And in both waitlist letters it recommend I finish outstanding classes and improve Hesi but I have already improved hesi and completed all my classes so not sure where to go from here with SMU.

Mine says the same thing but I had no in progress courses upon application so I think they send the same thing to everyone. Better to call and ask a counselor what you specifically need to do.
I applied last cycle and got waitlisted #26 for sac. This time around, I have no classes in progress. I had patho and pharm in progress last time. And I have since started working for Kaiser. So definitely a stronger application this time.
Same with me! I was waitlisted #14 last time and still had patho/pharm in progress. Got As in both with this cohort, think I really improved my statements, and overall had a better application. Trying to hold onto hope also...hoping that not having heard back yet means we are going to be accepted and not just straight rejected!!!
Wow. Hi everyone! What a great forum. I was accepted to the San Mateo ABSN program, and I hope I get to meet many of you soon! Good luck to those on the waitlist!!! For those that were accepted into the ABSN program, how did you guys pay your $350 tuition deposit? There are not any clear instructions, and I REALLY don't want to mess anything up. For obvious reasons. Thanks for the help!

Did most of you apply to other programs as backup or to increase your chances of getting into another program?
I applied to other community colleges, but I was really hoping for SMU.
