Hi @nursemelon first all congratulations on getting accepted to SMU. I think that is incredible and if I can offer some advice as someone who is waitlisted and has been struggling to get into a bsn program, I would really take the SMU Absn offer. If you are still waiting to hear back from the other msn program I would seriously hold on to SMU. I also have a BA in public health and have been working as a CNA so I know where you are coming from, I really do get. I literally am dropping nursing because it's been so hard for me to get accepted, so the fact you got in, is incredible and I would really

take that opportunity because it doesn't come again. Good luck with everything dear 🙂

Hi @Sahiba,

Thank you. If you know in your heart that you want to become a nurse, don't give up that dream! I know it could be discouraging to constantly not get into a program, but your time will come when the time is right! I've been trying since I was in high school applying for college. I knew I've always wanted to become a nurse, so I tried to figure out what I can do differently to get there and developed a growth mindset on how I can become the nurse I've always dreamed to be. If not a BSN program, there's definitely other pathways you can look into. Don't give up!!

To those taking out a private loan, have you looked into it yet and have any suggestions which one is best?

@mvdmelon hey there 👋🏽, 

So when I was planning to go to nursing school I found a really good company that offers private student loans and their interest rates are low however depending on income and credit you may need a co-signer or not if you can good credit. There interest rates for fixed is about 3.69% and variable is about 5.62% I left the link below. They approved me but I needed a co-signer. However I did not need in the end because I got waitlisted for most of the schools I applied to and now I'm switching majors. However for you I think this may work out great my suggestion is when you looks for loans try to only look for student loans and that too with low interest. I left the link below, good luck with everything and congratulations on getting accepted 🙂 🌸

Hello Everyone,
I just signed up this allnurses for the first time! But my name is Edilyn, and I am deaf. I got accepted into ABSN for Spring 2025 in Sacramento, CA. I am wondering if anyone is the same as me. I'm excited and can't wait to work with Spring 2025 student nurses. 🙂

Congratulations Edilyn! I am starting the Spring 2025 ABSN program at the San Mateo campus. But I believe at least one other person on here was accepted to Sacramento.

Hi Edilyn!! Congrats on your acceptance! I also accepted my spot to Sacramento but I am waiting on hearing back from a couple more schools! If they don't work out I will be joining you in the Spring cohort!! 🙂

Hi everyone,

I just got an email with an option to accept offer with Fresno Samuel Merritt. I got into the Fresno location, it's far from where I live but I am taking this opportunity. I am so excited and I just can't believe it.  Congrats to everyone who got accepted and waitlisted 🌸
