I haven't yet seen a forum for this cohort yet and I wanted to start one! Applications are due soon and wanted to see how others are going along with the process and see if theres any advice or recommendations that anyone has. This could be with the application, interviews, pre-reqs, HESI, etc. I appreciate those who comment and add to the forum!
A little about me: originally from NYC moved out to Oakland in 2015. I worked in Urgent Care, and have volunteer work during Covid-19. Finishing up a few pre-reqs now and hopefully will have them done in time for the application due date Dec 1st. Let me know if there are any other questions for me, I am very interested to see the backgrounds of others who are also applying, its a stressful but exciting time for everyone! ?
P.S. if there is a forum for the Fall 2021 ELMSN program please link it!
Anxious CM applicant here! Still waiting to hear back. I had my interview with Lisamarie and she said I would hear back in about two weeks. Congrats to everyone who has been accepted & fingers crossed for us who are still waiting ??✨
Does anyone know how good the financial aid is? The tuition costs scare me ?
I went to the nursing success seminar that they have and they had a session that talked about fin aid. From my understanding, a lot of it is covered by loans. The fin aid suggests that we apply for many different scholarships to help with that. But if anyone knows more please let me know! Especially people that are already accepted and have heard from the Financial Aid office.
I was admitted to the CM program and I am also feeling the anxiety about $$$. I haven’t received any information directly about financial aid. I’m in the middle of filling out FAFSA, and I emailed someone in Financial Aid earlier this week with questions about if SMU would like to see certain specifics on the FAFSA app. Haven’t gotten a response yet, so... not feeling super supported in the financial aid aspect and I sense they kind of leave the graduate students to fend for ourselves. Maybe they just wait until they receive our FAFSA and then reach out to us? Who knooows.
I got accepted for the CM program! Can't wait to meet everyone!! ? If I'm not mistaken, there's a facebook group created for this cohort?
In regards to financial aid, I attended an info session awhile back and it seems like we don't really get grants like we did with our undergrad. Most people get loans to cover tuition for grad programs.

Out of curiosity, were there any FNP applicants who interviewed that do NOT speak a second language? No need to reply, you can “like” the post if you were one. Thanks!
