Samuel Merritt Fall 2018 ABSN Program

Published

Hey everyone,

I know this is early, but the application period for the fall Sacramento and San Mateo cohort will soon be here! This might be the first thread. Anyway, application deadline isn't until April, but if people could post their past and current GPA's and their HESI test scores so I can get idea of what the pool of applicants is like. It is so hard to tell what a good application is for every application period.

My last 60 units GPA 3.9

Science GPA 3.1 (Maybe 3.5 if I can submit my new chemistry class that ends May 4th -- hopefully with a grade A in May).

HESI scores -- taking in February and in March -- if I have to retake it.

Working as an EMT for 7 months.

No volunteer experience.

Specializes in ER.

Haha yes! I graduated in 2014. You? Btw, did you take pharmacology (bimm 118) there? If you did, I hope you used it for the pharm requirement. I petitioned it!

I'm class of 2011 at Sixth College. I actually majored in psychology and minored in Education Studies, so I've been doing a big 360 from my first career. You got very lucky on the pharmacology petition! What college were you in?

Oh wow! Congrats on taking all those bio classes! I was in Marshall. Perphaps we passed each other on campus. You from the Bay?

Hopefully this is the week we hear back...!! *eeeeeeek*

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing! Hopefully they notify us regardless of acceptance/waitlist/denials. I think not knowing is worse. My friend didn't hear back at all when she first applied. *fingers crossed*

Good luck everyone!!!

I read from previous forums that people who were waitlisted 14 on the list were able to get in. So I'm holding out hope!

Hi All,

I emailed Kristina Bautista (admission counselor) regarding sending transcriptions. This is what she said:

"Yes please send it directly to our campus. You can attention the transcripts to me so that I can update your file once it is received."

Mail to:

Samuel Merritt University

ATTN: Kristina Bautista

3100 Telegraph Ave., Suite 1000

Oakland CA 94609

I hope this helps!

Sorry for the delayed response. I'm actually not from the Bay, but was actually there over the weekend! And thank you for reaching out and finding out about the next steps. Very helpful!

I also hope we hear from admissions soon. Good luck everyone!

So we can't just update it on NursingCAS?

Nope, just send transcripts to the address I provided above. I checked NursingCAS and there was no where to update apps. It actually says on the homepage to "notify updates to submited programs".

Anyone else wondering if notifications might go out later than May 25 since the application deadline was extended?

Either way, WE'RE SO CLOSE!!! Ahhhh

Yes I was thinking that. I also read last Fall's forum on here and it looks like some people didn't hear until mid-end of June..Fingers crossed we don't have to wait that long! the anticipation is killing me lol
