Samuel Merritt University ABSN / ELMSN Spring 2014

[mrkim]

I am a prospective student for Samuel Merritt University for the cohort starting in Spring 2014. Campus of choice is San Mateo. I am considering the ELMSN-NP program as well since the prereqs are identical.

1. I was seeking information on TEAS test experience. What is the cut off for this test to get in? I have to take this test within the next few weeks in order to make the July 1st cutoff application. (I wanted to take this test after I finished my prereqs which will be completed by Sept 14th) Currently I am finishing up A&P I lecture/lab and Nutrition courses within the next 2 weeks, also currently taking Microbiology lecture/lab which will be complete by Aug 24th and signed up for A&P II lecture lab, Pathophysiology, and Pharmacology courses starting at the end of June and ending Sept 14th 2014 to make me 100% complete. I am currently making an A in all the courses attempting now. I have an undergrad gpa of 3.1 and science gpa of 3.5

I am currently on the east coast and have been serving in the military for 6 years. I lived in Orange County prior to joining for 6 months and have visited California numerous times and loved every second of it so I know this is where I want to end up, hence is why I am applying for programs out there.

I also wanted to know about anyones experience in previous cohorts at any of the campuses for both ABSN and ELMSN programs.

If anyone else is applying for Spring 2014 please respond to this thread as well that way we can get to know each other somewhat and give a chance to those that get accepted to start networking. Wish everyone the best of luck!!

Also interviewed the same day. My interview wasn't intimidating but rather relaxed. Still waiting for a response :/

Kris12345,

On page 10, laraymundo (so?) was accepted. Not sure on how many applicants for CM.

I turned in my application late at the end of July. At that time, one of the admission counselors said I was applicant #21. I know there are 22 open seats.

Had my ELMSN CM interview yesterday...not sure how I feel about it. I was less nervous than I anticipated and thought it would be a much harder interview. Any body else have similar thoughts on their interview? We had a writing sample too.

My interview started out less stressful, but then it progressively became more stressful as we went through my application, test scores, and transcripts. I wasn't sure what to make of all that...but, it obviously turned out just fine. Thank the dear Lord...whew!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!! Let me know how it turns out. Good luck!!

Hi and Congrats laraymundo! I was also accepted into the CM program!!! I also applied to the FNP track so I am waiting to hear the decision, no word yet but the deposit is due in a few days. Does anyone know the salary for CM in Sacramento/California in general? I am just wondering how long it may take to pay that loan back haha. I'm sure it's worth it but I had to ask.

Congratulations, PresentPotion!! Good luck w/the FNP track...but, either way, see you at Sac when classes begin. Or, at orientation in November...woohoo!!! =D

HI laraymundo, I was wondering do those going for their entry level masters hear before absn students? or do you have any idea? Congrats on being accepted!!
