Samuel Merritt University ELMSN Fall 2021

Published

Hey All

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!

Aw man, I'm feeling a bit insecure about not applying to both elmsn programs. Why did I think you couldn't?!

Girl, do I feel you on that one! It it makes you feel better, there is a Spring cohort for both programs, so if all else fails there is always that

I actually didn't know I can apply to both programs either. For some reason, I though I can only choose 1 track. LOL but at least now we know ?

At the risk of being too forward, for the CM students given an interview invite, what are your stats? GPA, HESI, the works or what your comfortable with.

I hope this helps! Best of luck.

Congrats on the invitation!! The interview dates feel like they are so far away, almost a month, but Feb is a short month so...

But at least it looks like they gave you lots of hints and tips in the email to prepare with the Youtube videos, did they mention the writing portion at all? I've heard the CM students need to provide that, but it may not happen due to being virtual and pandemic times.
