Samuel Merritt Spring 2021 BSN

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to start a thread for the Spring 2021 term at SMU. Has anyone applied or planning on applying? Feel free to drop your stats and scores!

Yes I am applying for Spring. I finished my pre requisite but haven’t take HESI yet due to COV 19. Many center are closed..

When I was at one of the SMU live chats, they said they might not required the HESI for the Spring applicants, but nothing is decided yet

I'm planning to apply for Spring 2021 as well, but haven't taken the HESI either.

Is SMU your first choice?

WOW! !thanks for update.

I am just wondering, whether they are going to select candidate on basis of GPA? My GPA is 3.7 . Anyone want to share?

My GPA is not as good as yours, but I'm still in it! :)

Don’t worry about it, my GPA might change after I get the grades from this semester too. Did you finish all your prerequisites or have volunteer hours?

I'm wishing you the best, I'm practically done I might have 2 classes which I plan to take during the Summer. I have volunteer hours and experience in the health care field.
