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! I'm new on this forum, but like everyone else, I'm trying to stay positive! Fortunately, I did get an invite to interview for the ELMSN-FNP program in Sac on Sept 7. I've been reading as much as possible about the interview process, but if there's anyone with some helpful advice or comments- it'd be much appreciated!

Good luck!!

Just be yourself and show your passion toward nursing. At this point, grades don't matter anymore! Good luck and hopefully you see this coming spring. :D

ELMSN-FNP at Sac and Oakland is the exact same program but starts different time and place. Same faculties review applications and conduct interviews. If you have questions, I can try to answer them.

Hi there, quick question about the writing samples. 250-300 words seems very short for a narrative or formal prose. Are they looking for just a regurgitation of information? It's hard to see how to be both artful and informative in such a small statement.

Thanks!

Hello all,

I was also invited for an interview on September 7th for the ELMSN-FNP program, but will probably decline because I was already admitted to my first choice school. You guys might want to check your spam inbox because that was where I found my invitation for the interview. I do not usually check my spam inbox, but for some reason last night I did and found that email. Well best of luck to all of you! :)

Howdy! How is the interview? I heard it was group which is a bit nerve-wrecking to say the least. Please, can someone PM me and confirm this? It seems it would be hard to evaluate each person in such large numbers. Thoughts?

I haven't received any info from Samuel Merritt only that they cashed my check 2 weeks ago.. How soon after they cashed checks did you hear back from them?
