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!!

Hey guys,

So i had posted the link up earlier and admins took it down because I guess it is against the rules but I can PM you the link if needed. Thanks! And btw, I have all my settings open and public at the moment so I'm not sure what could be wrong :(

Hi Everyone,

I also was accepted into the Case management program for Sac Spring 2014! I see there is a facebook page for the FNPs, but is there one for CMs?

PS Congrats everyone! Looking forward to orientation:)

Does anyone know how much financial aid SMU offers? Now that I'm in, I'm worried about my financial aid package. Does anyone know anyone who's currently in the program or an alumni who can shed light on this?

It really depends on your financial need, but the financial aid (all loans) will cover tuition, books, and cost of living. Not like a luxury style of living but enough to live comfortably.

Hi Guys- Just to let you know...I spoke with an SMU Financial Aid advisor this AM and she informed me that our financial aid packets will include options that cover tuition and living expenses. Whew...thank goodness!! I was starting to stress about the expense of it all as well. Good luck to us!! :yes:

Yay! That's good to hear.. Do you know by any chance what the interest rate is compared to other loans such as from banks? I know they will be going over financial aid the day of orientation but still good to know

I'm not sure, but I believe private bank loans are higher by about 2%. However, I'm not exactly sure on the various rates.
