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.....
Thank you! I'm hoping that it's not a mistake but I was initially number 10 on the waitlist and I'm not sure how much the list has moved. I'm waiting to hear a reponse from the counselor but I'm not sure.
Thank you! Did you start out at #5 on the waitlist or did you move to that spot? I've been at 10 from the start and haven't heard of any movement at least on the San Mateo list.
Very interesting! That's great!! I started off #12, then moved to #6 and last I'm now at #5...it's torture!! I wonder if both campuses are in sync time-wise as far as beginning to accept waitlisted folks? I'm continuing to cross my fingers!
I spoke to the Sac counselor and she said that her list has been moving more than the San Mateo campus so you should be good! I hope I am in too but it's hard to be sure. The wait is definitely torture but hopefully we both get in!!
Really?? Thank you for the info!! May I ask which counselor you spoke to? The only person that I've contacted via email is Katharine. But I didn't want to bug her too much as I know she is probably very busy! I hope we get in too!!!!
I was wondering if anyone would be able to answer my question! I am submitting my app for summer 2019 soon, but my english class is in progress and I have patho/pharm planned for spring. Since the deadline is before my English class is completed and before I've taken patho/pharm, what should I do about the transcripts for those classes? Do I just resend the transcripts straight to samuel merritt after?
Hi! I took the HESI twice and the first time I took I passed with high scores, the second I took it I didn't do as well, due to a car break in that happened to me the night before. Does anyone know if you have to provide both scores or can I just provide one? It's says on the website they look at the highest of your scores.

Ksampat, when applying on nursing cas just input your highest scores from either test. I went to the information session, and the counselors said they take the highest score from each part of the test, and recalc your total average score. If you did worse on every single section, then I'd stick with the original results. I don't see why you would have to submit both results...but it might show up on results document that you have to load onto your nursingcas application that you took it twice. And if you used the school code to register for the test, they'll have access to your results anyway...
Thank you Bebimbop, I did better the first time all around. I did use the school code when I signed up for the exam. But that doesn't mean I have to upload the second one into CAS, right?
I sure do hope I get accepted for summer 2019!
