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.

Has anyone heard an update on the waitlist for the Sacramento or San Mateo campus? I am waislisted on Sacramento as 16/35.

Hi all! No update so far on the waitlist. I spoke with the counselor at San Mateo and he recommended sending in the application on July 1st. I believe there may still be movement but we should reapply just to be on the safe side.

I'm no. 12 on the waitlist and haven't heard anything.

Specializes in ER.

For those who took pathophys online at SBCC:

The course requires a webcam. Did anyone use the built-in macbook camera as a webcam or purchase one? Thanks in advance :)

Hey there,

I am currently taking it at SBCC, and I am using my built in macbook camera. When do you start? I finish it next week and CAN'T wait!!

Mine starts on 6/30! How's the class?

Moved to 9th on the waitlist from 12th

For Sacramento or San Mateo?

For Sacramento. I asked an adminisions director and he said that kind of movement is typical.

Hi everyone on the waitlist,

I spoke with Derric from San Mateo. He said unfortunately there has been no movement on the waiting list. :( Here's to hoping Spring 2019 is better! Congratulations to all who got in!

Ohh. Seems less likely that a seat will open up for someone so down the list. I am 16 on the waitlist and i have not gotten an update about the waitlist movement.

Hi,

Congrats to everyone accepted!

I will be reapplying and would like to know the level of health care experience of the people that got in. I am wondering if I can add to my experience. I worked 1 year as an EMT and I have been working at a local hospital for 2 years. I would appreciate any feedback.

Thank you!
