Published

I haven't found a thread for this yet, so I figured I would start one! I am applying in August, after I have my grades from my summer courses. I was wondering what stats other applicants have as well :) I still have to complete human physio lab, general chem and lab, nutrition, and psych so I am not sure if I will get in this time around, but it can't hurt to apply!

Pervious major: Cell and Molecular Biology

Last 60 GPA: 3.4

Prereq GPA (so far): 3.9

TEAS Adjusted Individual Score: 92.7%

TEAS National and Program Percentile Rank: 99

Im excited to connect with other prospective students :)

It's finally March! The past few months have gone by so fast, but now that we are nearing the end of the "end of February-begining of March" time period the days are slooooooooowly creeping by. Hopefully we hear soon!

For those who applied to the San Mateo June cohort, is anyone commuting from SF? I live in the city but I couldn't apply to the April cohort since I am finishing my last prereq this semester :-/

If I get accepted, I'll be commuting from SF. I wish you well in your last pre-req!

I hope to hear soon, but I was browsing last year's board and the June cohort didn't hear back until March 20th or later. So I am not going to get my hopes up any time soon.

Thank you smiley!

dkol- It seems like SMU had a lot going on around this time last year, such as closing the SF campus. Im hoping that was a fluke since previous cohorts did not find out that late :) Only time will tell!

...soooo I actually expected to hear from SMU's ABSN (Summer 2013) program first, considering it started in May.... but surprisingly and gratefully, I interviewed and heard back from their ELMSN-Case Management last week---and was invited to join their program in the Fall. Good luck and cheers to you all! :)

Congrats Shyloh! I'm really excited for you - how wonderful! It's probably for the best the Nursing department reviewed the ELMSN applicants first and announced their picks as this may be the better program for you instead of the ABSN. It's a bummer for us as we are still in wait mode... If you speak to anyone in SMU Admissions - let them know we're patiently waiting. heh :)

Congratulations Shyloh!!!! Thats so exciting. What made you choose that program over the ABSN, or why did you apply to both? I was debating between the two so I would love to hear your perspective :)

Im sure they have a reason for letting the ELMS applicants know first, like yedwards pointed out, but it makes it harder to wait! Im looking at it this way- the more cohorts/applicants they notify, the closer they get to oakland/san mateo ABSN! Crossing my fingers for next week!

I called one of the main admissions people (can't say names on here) and learned that they think they will let us know about San Mateo on the 15th ("hopefully"). So 11 more days ("hopefully").

Did they say anything about Oakland?
