Samuel Merritt Fall 2023 BSN Program

[JYAC]

Hello all! I have been anxiously searching forums for the past 2 months. I have been reading over previous applicants and their experience during the waiting period. I thought I might start a thread for those of us who have applied for the fall of 2023 cohort. Looking forward to the next few weeks of waiting with those who have applied!

I agree with your sentiment, I feel they extended applications so they could receive more applicants. It doesn't make any sense the other way around. I have been lurking, mostly, because I don't feel that there is any point of speculating if we are going to get in or not. It just gives me anxiety ?

I agree, speculating is useless. However, it's nice to network and see that others are waiting just like I am. There were points where I was unsure about whether I missed a step, so it was nice to see that others are in the same place as me. Also, I feel like this platform gives me an outlet for all of the anxieties during the waiting! LOL. I also wonder if the extension for the applications was due to a lack of applicants. It would make more sense to close the applications if there were a lot, not bring in more.

I also got accepted to USF so I'm debating between the two, leaning toward Samuel merritt though because it's a year shorter

I'm on the waitlist. I'm number 15 out of 18. Does anyone know if students on the waitlist are accepted into the Spring start if we don't get into the fall start? Or would you have to apply again?

From what I've read on other threads, the wait list moves significantly sometimes. I'm not sure if theres an automatic enrollment for the following semester. Maybe reach out to admissions and see what they say.
