Would anyone here be working part time during the program? What would you suggest? Thank you so much congratulations to all and I am hoping to meet my future classmates soon:)

Hi everybody,

I am also in the ABSN 2011 SF cohort. I looked for a facebook page, and found one with only about 5 members.

I look forward to meeting you all!

Hi everybody,

I got the 89K figure from Financial Aid at Samuel Merritt. That includes lab fees, graduation fees, health insurance, living expenses, uniforms, books, and quite a few other things.

I'm going to the SF campus so I am not sure if the fees apply to all the campuses.

I just asked to join the FB page. Hopefully that was the correct one. There seem to be several started. Looking forward to meeting everybody!!

Thank you for letting me know where that $$$ came from. I guess I was not taking into account living expenses so you can see how that number blew my mind. Anyone else going to the SF campus next week for the meetings?

[dgp214]

Kt21 - What meetings are these? I wasn't aware of any meetings in SF.

I got a call from --- saying that --------- (I think she runs the program) is meeting with a few students at a time to make sure we are on track to have everything completed before the start of the program

despite fear of being the only one not notified of acceptance, nor denial, I would like to inquire as to the existence of anyone else out there like me.

I applied to the San Mateo cohort and have a TEAS score of 92, science GPA of 3.75, overall GPA of 3.72, and have volunteered in East Africa for kids with disabilities, and have volunteer experience at OCH. Soooo I feel qualified?

Needless to say, I have been a wreck. Since people from the San Mateo campus have already been getting calls (ya, a week ago), I have prepared myself for the worst even though I was full of cautious confidence a week ago. Anyone having a similar experience? Has anyone received denial or waitlist calls or emails from san mateo yet?

Thanks!
