Samuel Merritt Spring 2021 BSN

Published

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!

Hi All,

My goal is to go for the ABSN program in the Spring 2021. I still have yet to do pharmacology, pathophysiology and Microbiology (aiming to have these done by end of the year or by the application due date). I was told HESI A2 may not be required due to the COVID-19, but depending on how this goes, they may have us take the test later on this year.

When they look over our application, which ones are they considering high on the list to be considered? I know GPA is a big deal too.

Thanks and good luck to all!

Hey guys,

I didn't see any information regarding volunteer hours. Is that a requirement?

Hi everyone!

I am applying to hopefully start Spring 2021. I live in Folsom and would be commuting to SMU. Does anyone live in the Sacramento area that would be interested in car pooling?

Good-luck to everyone that's applying ?

I will be commuting from Roseville!

There are online volunteer opportunity if you want to check that out. Having a 4.0 Science GPA will help a lot too. Good luck!

How can we volunteer online?
