Samuel Merritt University ELMSN-CM Fall 2013

Published

Hi Everyone,

I started a thread a couple of days ago but the title was vague so I hope this attracts more readers and future SMU applicants! I am applying for the Fall 2013 cohort for case management and wanted to start a thread like other cohorts to meet other applicants and support each other during the "waiting period"! :) This is my first time applying to grad school/nursing program so everything is new, exciting, and terrifying! I am finishing up my BA in Human Development and hope to continue on towards my dreams by getting into this program.

Oh ok got it...I didn't see any male applicants and I do believe there is none on this forum..A suit wouldn't be a bad idea, however, the interview is more business casual its super laid back but wearing a suit would make you stand out and look very professional

I interviewed with ----------------. She said that there were only 36 people interviewing as of now but they are still accepting applications. I received a call last night from her telling me I got in. Very glad the wait is over. Good luck All! In terms of the interview - I would recommend knowing why Case Management and why Samuel Merritt. Also, if there are any hiccups in your grades, make sure you can explain them. They really focus on the fact that school is difficult and they need you to be able to keep a B average.

I interviewed yesterday as well (9:00) and received the call from ------------ in the evening about being accepted! So excited and it was also a quick turnaround. I was not expecting to hear so soon! Congratulations to everyone who was accepted and Good luck to those with interviews soon :)

Hi Lalalove - I had a 3.44 gpa last 60 units and 3.45 science - Teas Overall 99%, Reading: 96%, Math: 99%. Mediocre volunteer experience. I think the reason I got in though was mainly because of my past job (worked on a crisis unit with teens and was the main person coordinating triage) and having a family member as a lifelong patient. Good Luck! Just 1 more week at most!

Has anyone else heard from SMU about Case Management? I don't think that they base admissions off any one area. I do believe they hold life experience and other relatable experience (volunteering) to the field highly. I would not give up hope just yet! It appears that FNP applicants are starting to hear back. I wonder when we will receive our admissions packet this week?
