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!
Thank you! I’m semi-bilingual in a very specific dialect of my culture (I can fully understand and read, but can’t speak) which is honestly no help LOL ? However, I know basic Spanish and my husband can conversationally speak in Spanish so we’re both thinking about continuing with lessons so we can become proficient. Since the program doesn’t start for about another 6 months I’m thinking I might as well make great use of my time!
I think thats wonderful! At least you know the fundamentals, and regardless it will help you serve a specific community!
I received an email this morning stating that I am #1 on the waitlist for the CM program. Congratulations to those who got in! I hope to make it into the program and get to meet you all! ?
If they released the waitlist for CM I’m reeeeeeeally hoping that means they’ll be releasing the accepted FNP list tomorrow ?????
I hope so too! I don't know how things are scheduled but I think the Fall BSN cohort finds out tomorrow? Which makes me think we may not find out until later, but still, I hope to hear back soon!
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.
Hi, I am also an admitted CM student and I reached out to Anne about my financial aid questions, since no one got back to me as well. She gave me the advisors information to email directly. His name is Ricardo Vargas and email is [email protected]
Also, I deferred my acceptance to start in Spring at Sacramento since I plan to move to sac from LA. Hopefully that helped someone get in this cycle who was on a waitlist or waiting to get an acceptance! Good luck friends!

Hi friend, hopefully you got my spot! I got in this semester but deferred my acceptance to next semester! Good luck!

I wish it was that soon but I feel like they’ll make us wait a whole week ?
I havent made a portal account because its only for admitted students. Did your friend already have an account?
She did some prereqs there so I'm assuming she had an account because of that. But crossing fingers that the decisions are coming out in the next few days.
