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!!

Is it true that Sept 21 is the last day of interviews for NP?

Hello all, fairly new to this forum, about a week too late actually since I interviewed 9/14 and was absolutely not anticipating a group interview. Although that would have been nice to know and prepare for, what is done is done so now I'm just remaining positive and wishing for the best! @Ramboramirez11, I believe you were in the same interview as I. I feel like everyone had incredible credentials and amazing statistics in regards to educational backgrounds and extracurricular activities. I hope I was able to leave an impression at least, even though I tend to not stand out in a group. This is my first time applying at SMU, it is my top choice, and I have not applied anywhere else, so a lot is riding on this decision... We will see in a few weeks what transpires. Good luck you all!

I believe it is. When I called and asked, the 21st was the last date given at that time. I'm sorry.

Don't worry so much. I have my interview this weekend and am not sure how to prepare although I know it is a group interview. I'm sure you were great!

Hey there - has anyone here gotten accepted for the ABSN class to start in January? If so, where are you able to complete pathophysiology and pharm in three months??

@lolads85 there's another thread for ABSN spring 2014 but a couple people have been accepted already for San Mateo. Were you accepted? I know SMU offers both as online courses in 3 months, Aug-Oct, but they've already started...They also list approved courses at other colleges on their website but I don't know how long they are...
