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?

Hey, tamosaur,

I took the challenge test after a counselor told me my anthropology course wouldn't work for the sociology component. I bought a $5 old textbook and spent two weeks cramming it and wikipedia's sociology articles (which were actually more useful.) I passed the challenge test, sent the scores to Samuel Merritt, and called to check in. No response. I e-mailed the counselor I'd been speaking with and she told me that they'd just used my Abnormal Psych class instead--which she'd said they absolutely couldn't do when I met with her originally. Grrrr. The challenge test is a fine option. Go for it! Good luck! Be well,

So crew...any one get an acceptance or rejection letter yet?

Naw....no response yet. For the people who had the deadline of September 1st, 2009, according to the old message boards here on allnurses, it appears as though they got acceptance/rejection letters around February 15th. So...we may be a good 5 weeks away from still hearing anything :uhoh3:

With the nerves out of control, I couldn't contain myself and I decided to call SMU. I asked one of the counselors from the admissions office when we would MOST LIKELY hear back and she stated that we'll probably be receiving emails during the last week of January on the decision. :sniff:

Those that are worried about the SF Cohort. According to a friend that recently graduated from SMU, the SF campus is in transition of finding a location. Hopefully, admissions will be able to accommodate a full roster.

Well, end of January is better than beginning of February!! So, that is what... 2.5 weeks?? That will come quicker that we realize. I am STILL waiting on one transcript. My physio teacher didn't post the grades to my school until this past Sunday. So annoying... Good luck w/ the wait everyone!

its kinda weird...i sent an email to one of the admissions people with an updated unofficial transcript, as i am still working on the last of my prereqs winter 2012. this was before christmas, she said she will add the email to my account but can not update my file, as it was with the nursing department. this kinda freaked me out, because i only had 2 prereqs done at the time of my application submission (knocked out 5 this past fall, and taking the last 3 this quarter). I'm not sure what their process is, but i was like, will they have my new graded when evaluating my app or are they going to just use the two science courses i took over the summer...kinda wack...she said she would "Try" to update my file, and thankfully she did, as i just received an email yesterday. anyhow, she says she is unable to update my file anymore...which is fine because im set for now. for those of you who have a significant amount of classes to update them will...i would follow up.sical

obviously there is a physical file, but there may be some sort of electronic tracking system they use as well...as she said she would put my email into my account. who knows...just wanted you guys to be on top of it, to ensure they review your most updated info.

Chomping at the bit to find out if I got in... Does anyone know if they notify via email or regular mail? I am also curious as to why they were still accepting applications (even for wait list only) so far past the September 1st deadline. Best of luck to you all.

From what I can tell from stalking previous posts... If you get in, you find out via email and if you don't get in, you find out via snail mail. So Jason B. found out that we should "most likely" find out the last week of January, well the last week of January really only consists of 2 days (January 30th and 31st), so you think we'll actually find out the week before, which would be next week? I think we are all obsessing... Good luck everyone!

Well guys I am glad I found your blog. 2 more weeks seems like too much to wait. Does anyone know the number of application for San Francisco 2012 summer cohort?

Hey, does anyone else know what "status" your application is at? I just sent an email and my status is still "IP" in progress, even though I have sent all my official transcripts to SMU from this past Fall semester. It may just take awhile before it gets into the system, but I hope it is inputted before a decision is made! Yikes!

Yeah....I'm really hoping to hear something next week, the week of 1/23-1/27, but I have a feeling we're probably gonna be hearing back the week of 1/30-2/3. That info came from 1 of the head counselors/decision makers. So, hopefully that timeline is somewhat correct. Any longer, I'll have no more nails to chew off! :confused:
