Samuel Merritt ABSN 2008

Published

Hello, anyone waiting to hear from Samuel Merritt's ABSN program for 2008?

Hey guys, I got my acceptance letter today...kinda surprised since they told us that we would find out on March 1st. I got into the San Mateo campus. Oakland was actually my first choice. I am #7 on their waitlist. What do you think my chances are in getting into Oak?

Does anyone know how many they accept into the Oakland and San Mateo campus ??

Also, what are the differences between the two campuses? Thanks in advance for all of your feedback.

If anyone is planning on going to San Mateo this summer, I'd love to hear from you!

Congrats!! Now I am even more nervous and anxious. Did you receive a big envelope or a small envelope in the mail? Was it just a letter or were their forms and information packets inside?

Congratulations! I had a friend who was on the waitlist and she got in last year. If you don't mind me asking...what were your "stats". i'm applying in the next year or so and was just wondering. Please feel free to PM me. Congrats again!

Hi Lucky,

I think your chances of Oakland are good. I got into the San Fran location and am also wait listed for Oakland. I will probably take San Fran even if a spot comes up for Oakland because I want to start sooner than later.

Poppyseed, the letter was in a yellow, larger envelope. I thought it was just marketing materials or something cuz they kept saying March 1st, but I was like a kid on Christmas morning, all excited in the middle of the street and no one around...

Poppyseed,

It was a large envelope with forms inside. Came with info on criminal background check, medical history forms, cpr info, and a few more that you have to complete and return by a certain date. I'm sure you'll receive yours soon! Good luck!

OMG!!! why is mail so slow!!! AaAH

Congratulations on both of you!!! :) :) :)

Is there any benefit to going to Oakland? WHy does it seem like it's everyone's first choice?

Ineed, I live in the East Bay so that is why Oakland is my first choice, but I am also ready to start already so I don't mind commuting to SF. I went to SF State for my BA and commuted then and the SF location is closer than SF State so I figure the commute won't be so bad. I am also leaning more towards SF location because I heard they do clinical rotations at CPMC where I would love to work someday. I'm not so sure why Oakland is more popular. I have a former classmate who lives in Solano county who applied to Oakland and will not consider SF, so my guess is that it has to do with location. I also heard from a person who went to the SF program that Oakland does more take home tests. Not sure how true that is, but if anyone who's been thru either programs (SF or Oakland) any info would help!

OH! i see. That makes sense. More take home tests huh? I've found take home test are way harder because it takes WAY longer to do.

I want to go to SF bc I want some city life. :)

I hope I get my envelop tomorrow or monday! If not... AH! i'm gonna be so sad.

Thanks for answering my questions Rianna :)

Thanks! Oakland was my first choice as i live in Berkeley, and have 2 kids in school here.

I am still waiting to hear back from 2 other programs, but I'm heavily leaning towards accepting.
