Hi! Yes, of course. I personally love online classes, so I had no problem transitioning. Being online has actually given me more time to study since I don't have to account for commuting to and from campus. It's hard to stay motivated at home, so make sure you have a good set up!
From what I've heard, SMU will not consider lowering tuition.

Good to know! How is it working with clinical placements and labs? I think that’s the most concerning part. The first semester is really important in learning fundamentals, so not having that same level of hands on education is a bit worrisome

She has mentioned before in a few info sessions that they are expecting more than normal which is due to the HESI requirement being lifted.
Hi Priscilla!
Can you please share with us how your experience has been doing classes remotely? Also do you know if they are considering lowering tuition if it continues to stay online?

Now I’m freaking out!

my overall GPA is 3.8, and science GPA is 3.74...hopefully it’s gonna be enough to be accepted...

Question to everyone

is SM your first choice school?

Did you guys get any emails/updates about the application process from SM?

Hello everyone! Good luck to all the applicants. I was wondering if any of you here are applying to the ABSN Spring 2021 cohort?

Hi Janiexx,

If I’m. It admitted to the Spring 2021 BSN program, I’ll be applying to the Fall 2021 ABSN program at SMU.

Good luck!!

Hi everyone!
My name is Priscilla and I'll be a J2 this semester. I know that COVID has complicated the application process, so I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I'm more than happy to answer any questions you might have!
You can send me direct messages on Instagram @navigate.nursing.life! I'll also be giving away supplies you'll need for future semesters, so don't forget to follow!
I'm rooting for all of you and wish you the best of luck. Hope to hear from you soon. ☺️

Thank you, Priscilla!!

Hi everyone!

Late to this party, LOL but

Overall GPA: 3.7 Science GPA: 4.0

200+ hours of healthcare volunteer experience

Still taking Statistics and Intro to Ethics in the Fall... Wanted to see what you guys think about my chances with those two classes still going to be in progress. Is anyone taking Stats in the fall?

Good luck to you all!

Hey! you have very competitive stats in my opinion:)

I’m taking interpersonal communication and history in the fall as well. I’ve talked to ------------------ previously and she told me that it’s common practice to take couple classes in the fall. As long as you have good grades in your other classes and you’ve taken all your science classes already, you are gonna be fine ?

they use a holistic approach to each applicant, which means that they take other things in consideration, like good LORs, patient care experience or your personal statements.

A quick question. I’m trying to update my Summer grades, and the instruction says to send the updated transcripts to the physical address. Does that mean that I have to send out a hard copy of my transcripts there or could I do it electronically somehow?

thank you!
