Hi everyone! :nurse:

So, the applications are due today (September 1st) for summer admission to ABSN program at Samuel Merritt. How does everyone feel about their application?? :up: :down: What campus did you apply to?

So.. we're supposed to hear back any day now, right? The wait is killing me.

my friend who applied to the SMU masters program heard back from them today. they scheduled her for an interview towards the end of the month. i'll do some research on previous years and see if the ELMSN applicants typically hear back before ABSN applicants and if so, what the delay between responses is.

2011 ELMSN applicants heard back from SMU on 2/5 to schedule their interviews, 6 days later on 2/11 ABSN applicants got their acceptance calls.

OmG!! Congrats to your friend =) and thanks for updating us!! I'm going more and more crazy every day.

Did you guys apply to other nursing programs or just this one? I think the reason I'm so stressed out is because I only applied to this one.

Congrats to your friend that got into the ELMSN! Hopefully we'll share the same excitement in the next couple of days.

Tamosaur, I only applied to this ONE program. One of the reasons is cause I hit the ground running. I made the spontaneous decision to go into nursing in December 2010, turning down a huuuuuuge promotion and quitting my job 3 weeks later, sold my house, and knocked out 11 prereqs. I barely had time to explore other options until recently. SMU will basically dictate whether I apply to other ABSN programs around the country or not. Just gotta think positively...we'll see what happens :)

Is anyone else annoyed? This is taking SO long!! I just want to know... ahhhhhhhh!!! I mean, we applied September 1st, that was 5 months ago! SO LONG!! Then we are told decisions will go out the end of January and now it is February 1st!! I called yesterday and just spoke with someone in admissions, but not particularly ABSN, like probably just an admin. and she said, "You should have a decision 3 months after you apply." I said, well then that means I should have been notified in December!!! Grrrr... :banghead:

I completely understand your frustration right now. I'm kind of debating if I should start on the next round of application or if I should wait until I hear back. The next application is due in a month!
