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.
Hey there everyone, I got my acceptance email from SMU this morning! I'll be joining the San Mateo cohort this fall :) I'm excited to meet everyone and good luck to those still waiting to hear back :)

Yay! Congrats everyone!! Can't wait to meet the Samuel Merritt cohort. Did anye create a FB page?

I am still waiting for the separate email for username/password so I can do the letter of intent as well. Hopefully soon!

Hey, did anyone get an email yet with the login information so that we can fill out the Letter of Intent? The email from this morning says we should have received it a while after... I mean, its been a few hours and I just want to sign the letter and make sure that it is done and wasn't a mistake! I am so excited everyone! Like I feel like I'm dreaming.

I just got the email with login info about 10 minutes ago- whew, its really happening!!

I am trying to accept my letter of intent but I haven't received a username/psswd?

Anyone else have same issue?

Yes. I just received mine.

Is anyone having trouble accepting their letter of intent? I was able to log into my account but when I try to accept it's not accepting my info

Congrats everyone! I just got accepted into San Mateo campus as well. Can anyone check their financial aid package yet? I'm having trouble logging onto SMU Total Access. Was able to log onto Admitted Student Portal and find my SMU email address for log in but it seems I don't have the right password for SMU Total Access. Have not accept my offer yet as I would like to compare the cost with NYU ABSN program. I would greatly appreciate any clues!

Again, congrats to us all for going through this rewarding emotional roller coaster ride!

According to the second e-mail we received (subject line: Join the Samuel Merritt Admitted Student Portal), our username is your e-mail address. There is a hyperlink embedded in the e-mail where you can sign up and create your password. However, I'm having issues accessing into SMURF, which leads to our Letter of Intent. Anyone able to get through? There's also a support e-mail they provided for us, which I just sent an e-mail. I'll keep you all posted once I hear back. Again, congratulations to everyone! We made it!!

I'm having the same issues too! I'm in the admitted student portal (as we speak), but the password is not working for SMURF or other portals. Congratulations on your acceptance to NYU as well!

Same issue with me - I also sent an email to the admissions contact for Sacramento, Katharine Leyva.

Katharine Leyva replied back to me about the login issues and said to "Please try again tomorrow and let me know if it's still not working."

I assume it could just be a time lag for when the user name / password was registered?
