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!
1. Your file is incomplete (IN) because you do not indicate where and when you are completing Pathophysiology and Pharmacology. These two classes need to come off our lists of approved colleges (see attached).
I'm honestly not planning on taking these classes unless I get admitted to the program as other programs don't require the listed classes. Just wondering how to get that message across. Any ideas?
You have to have them completed by the start of the program. Since they don't notify us until a couple of months before it starts I am not sure how you would sign up for them and take them in time. I know that the Samuel Merritt courses are about 3 months. I took mine starting in January and they were over at the end of March.

Damn, well that's unfortunate! I was hoping to have time once they notified us of our acceptance to take them... Maybe this isn't the program for me :-/
Yea it's too bad they don't tell us further in advance but I was told earliest would be Feb.
Seems like I'll have enough time to take the classes after admissions decisions. After some correspondence w/ EB, it was decided that I can hold off on taking those 2 classes until I hear about the decision!
