Samuel Merritt ELMSN Fall 2019

[jackiewackie44]

Hi, everyone! Just wanted to start a forum for those applying to SMU's ELMSN Fall 2019 program. I know the admission deadline was about a month ago and I wanted to know if anyone has heard back yet! I applied for the FNP track ?

Hello all!

I’ve had such an intense few months and been unable to look on here until now. Wishing you all the best and for those who did not receive an interview, keep trying! Ask what you can improve upon or add to your resume. Take that class again and get an A, volunteer at a local clinic or hospital...anything to increase your chances of getting in. I had applied to the ABSN program last cohort and was waitlisted. I was admitted to the ABSN program at SF Peninsula campus and had my interview for the ELMSN-FNP program in Oakland Friday morning! To my fellow interviewees, I wish you the best of luck and I hope to be a part of this journey with you over the next years. If anyone has any questions, I’ll do my best to answer them. Don’t give up! If you know you want to be a nurse/FNP/CM, keep applying. Keep growing. You will get there!

I would say the best piece of advice (that was given to me) is to be the best version of yourself and don’t try to outshine others, especially if it’s a group interview. It’s important to shine AMONGST others. Try your best to remain calm and take deep breathes. Speak from the heart and know your facts about the program.

I can try my best to give you more detailed suggestions if I know a little bit more about you as well as your program of choice. It sounds like the CM interview was different.
