Hi Everyone! I know this is a bit early but I will be applying to SMU for the ABSN program of Summer 2014 (Oakland Campus). I am currently finishing my Bachelor's degree in health science at CSUEB right now and I will be done in the fall. I just wanted to start a discussion on this topic and get to know some people who are applying to the program for summer 2014. Let's get to know each other, share our stats, etc.

Here are my estimated stats that they look at:

Last 60 units GPA: 3.5

Pre req GPA: 3.4

Teas: 83 but I am re taking it in a couple of weeks

Experience: I am a CNA and Med tech currently. I volunteer at John Muir hospital and at American Red Cross.

I hope to hear from some prospective applicants soon!

Yay!! That's great news

Hi Everyone..

For April and May start date, have you all received your student loans? Can any of you share which private student loans are the best? I'm getting a headache trying to find the 'best one'

I was told Discover is good. I am going to apply with them and Wells Fargo and see which one is a better deal.

Thanks Rachelynn! Discover does seem like a good option!

I heard that the Wells Fargo Medcap students loans have the best rates because the variable rates aren't as high as discover, but i could be wrong. please let me know if you guys figure out which one is better. i am definitely on crunch time since i start in less than 2 weeks lol.

I was on the WL for the April cohort, but today I got a call with an acceptance to the June cohort :) so for anyone who is still on a WL that's a thing that can happen I guess.

Congrats for getting into the June cohort! What number were you waitlisted for April before they moved you over to June?

I was originally #11 for april but was steadily moving down and when they called to accept me into june they also told me that I was #1 for april.

I am SO excited. Today I took my drug test for background check and suddenly it all became real!! I was accepted to the San Mateo June cohort (in case my user name didn't let you know!) anybody else from my cohort out there?
