Samuel Merritt ABSN Summer 2012

Published

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?

Wannabnurse81,

I got an email from my counselor and she said that my app hasn't been reviewed yet and she will notify me about the status at the end of this week. So, we shall see. I kind of stopped thinking about it because it's going to drive me nuts!!

Hi Everyone,

Just thought I let you know that I have received an email from the counselor saying that my app is sent to the dept for review.

I finally got my e-mail too. There are less than 150 spots open taking into consideration that 3 campuses are open for enrollment. Keeping my fingers crossed...

Hey guys, just to reiterate, according to my counselor, "files will go to faculty around December 1st, and we will probably have decisions by early January." Hopefully sooner, but that should be the rough timeline. ***CROSSING FINGERS***

Lucky to those who have heard something!

Has anyone who applied to Oakland campus gotten an e-mail yet? I haven't gotten one and it is driving me crazy! I'm freaking out so badly ahhhhhhhhhh!

that is good to hear. I submitted my application but still have a ton of prereqs outstanding (the majority actually). But they told me to go ahead and submit it anyways. Glad to hear that they will be saving some slots until january before handing them out.

My first choice was Oakland, second choice SF and I have heard back. I have three (3) prereqs that I am finishing up now. I know that SMU is slammed with trying to get through all the apps, so don't freak out just yet tamosaur. Also, as Jason B noted, they will go out to faculty December 1st, so you still have some time.

I think if your packet was complete and met all the minimum requirements your application will definitely move on. This is what I received...

Dear Captain Butt-Wipe:

Thank you for your application to the SMU ABSN SU 2012 program

Your application has passed the SMU Admission review and has been found complete. It will be further forwarded to the Nursing department for the next evaluation process.

Thank you

EB

I'm pretty sure my packet was complete but I am afraid I might have overlooked something. Would they e-mail me to tell me?

I have e-mailed admissions to ask about the status of my application but have not heard back yet.

I'm getting more worried as each day passes =(.

Don't e-mail admissions, contact a counselor you should get a response within 5 days.

I finally heard back from someone who claims that they e-mailed me in September. They forwarded the e-mail that they sent in September and I noticed that they misspelled my e-mail! That's why I didn't receive it. I hope I don't get penalized for that.

They told me that my application is incomplete because the sociology class that I took does not fulfill the requirement. So now I am rushing to register for an Intro Soc class so that I can still try to finish the class in time but things don't seem to be looking so great for me.

If my class ends in May 2012, will my application still be considered or am I pretty much screwed at this point?

Thanks for the help!!!!

This is from the website...

Applications are still being accepted for Summer 2012. Depending on when an application is submitted, it may be considered for a waitlist position only. Before submitting an application, the TEAS must be completed and a score must be available. Do not submit an application without the TEAS as it will be considered incomplete.

San Francisco - all prerequisites must be complete by the end of fall 2011 semester or winter quarter 2012.

Oakland - all prerequisites must be complete by the end of the fall 2011 semester or winter quarter 2012.

San Mateo - all prerequisites must be complete by the end of the spring 2012 semester or winter quarter 2012.
