Hey!

Yep, I've put in my application for Spring as well... First I applied for Fall 2011 while some of my prereqs. were still in progress. I was waitlisted, and got up to number three on the list, but it was a no-go.. Eeep, so close! So I'm in for another three months of waiting as well. Good luck to you!

Yup, I was in the same boat as Syfert19.

Hello! I have applied for the Spring 2012 Program as well and currently taking 3 prerequisites. Do they automatically not accept people who are taking in progress classes? I've been so stressed out that I might not get in I'm loosing hope and motivation What are your guys' status

@Syfter and Chelnok do you guys mind saying what your scores were? I just want to see if I even stand a chance on getting on the waitlist.

@kbug1119 - I don't think they automatically not accept people still finishing up the prereqs, The adviser just told me that there so many applicants from their sister school during the fall, that it's best for transfer students to apply for spring. I wish you the best though! because I know how you feel. I kind of have everything riding on this one school.

Syfert19 · Sep 20, 2011

@kbug119- Yes, I agree with khey. You stand as good of a chance as anyone, so keep positive! I was told the same thing, Fall semester is much more difficult for transfers students from non-sister schools.

My TEAS is 81.2%

My Overall GPA is 3.7

Good luck to everyone, and maybe we will meet in nursing school :)

Hey guys,

I think there is always a chance too, so definitely do not give up and keep busy, otherwise the waiting game can drive you insane (trust me, i've been there). I also heard that Spring is much easier to get into b/c they almost have no transfer applicants from their sister schools.

My TEAS (4.0) were 86%

Overall GPA is 3.66

Good luck to everyone!

Thank you so much for your replies!

My GPA and TEAS scores are roughly the same...

But man I'm soooo nervous now! I think it should be any day now that we'll be hearing back from them.

Hi everyone!

I also applied for Samuel Merritt's BSN program for spring 2012 and since its so close to the mid-November window for possible acceptance I was wondering if anyone has heard or recieved anything?!? I am so anxious, but I am glad to know Im not the only one. :) I wish everyone the best of luck!
