Samuel Merritt Spring 2017 ABSN

[Natalie513]

Hello! I just wanted to make a thread specifically for those who are applying to the Samuel Merritt ABSN for a spring 2017 start. I'm applying to start in April 2017. It's the only program I'm applying to, as I can't afford more than a year without an income and I really want a BSN and not an MSN at this time. I'm done with my application, just waiting for nursing CAS to verify all my transcripts before I click submit! Currently working full time and taking my last 3 pre recs online. What about you?

Hi Duke! I don't mind sharing at all. It was for Sociology. In college the sociology course wasn't labelled as Intro to Sociology but "Principles of Sociology" so she told me it didn't satisfy the prerequisite

I updated some FAFSA information because I was reading and we are supposed to declare ourselves as a 3rd year junior.

Anyway, as I was looking through the website, I saw the following (below). If anyone hasn't done this, do it NOW! :)

• Federal Student Aid - FAFSA - Deadline - March 2 (annually)

So if I am starting April next year I don't have to

do this now, right?! I tried calling but the person who does financial aid for ABSN is on leave.

No. But you might as well? I have mine from last year and this year on file but it's not required this far ahead though :)

Anyone hear anything today? This is torture!

Got my acceptance for the May Oakland cohort at 9:34 this morning (to my gmail inbox, not spam folder). Hope the rest of you hear good news soon!

Hey y'all I just released my spot to pursue a different program out in Massachusetts so don't give up hope!
