Samuel Merritt ABSN Summer 2019

rdn2rn · Dec 5, 2018

Thanks for starting this thread, NurseStu2018! This will be my second time applying (recently applied Spring 2019 and was waitlisted). Hoping the tweaks to my application will help me get in this time.

Hi everyone, I applied about a week before the Dec. 1st deadline to the Oakland cohort. I will share my stats later as more people jump on this thread. Good luck to everyone!

Hi everyone! I applied with my first choice being San Mateo for the April start. This will be my second time applying, I was waitlisted for the Spring 2019 cohort. I'm hoping for better luck this time around!

Has anyone received any communication from Samuel Merritt since they applied? The only thing I received was a "we've received your application" email shortly after I applied in November. I remember the last time I applied for the Spring cohort, we got an email about a month after we applied that said they completed a preliminary review. Anyone receive something like this? Maybe I didn't get something like this since this is my second time applying?

Hey everyone! Nice to see the allnurses website is finally back!

It's my first time applying for Samuel Merritt's ABSN and is actually the only program I applied for. Hopefully we all get in together! I applied for the San Mateo campus. Anyone know when we will hear back?

Where did you all take your pharmacology and pathophysiology course at? I signed up for the classes at Yuba college and am taking it this semester

Yeah I haven’t received anything since the automated application email! Last cohort, they sent out the preliminary emails within a month or so

@Juls28 - Ok, good to hear because yes, last cohort they send our the preliminary emails about a month after the app was due. I really hope this doesn't mean they are behind their typical timeline. Looking back at old summer threads, they seemed to move a bit faster with the summer notifications.

@Wanida - My guess would be that we would hear back early to mid February after looking back at old timelines. Seems like they notify the April start San Mateo first. Then Oakland, then June San Mateo.

I took my pharm and patho online through Butler CC in Kansas over last summer. Really great instructors, but a lot of work/assignments.
