No, they haven't! Even though I already know, I still have a tiny bit of hope left ? 

If they don't get back to you by tomorrow maybe email to ask? Sending good vibes your way!

I thought so too, since it is still early in the day. I was just surprised when many received it as early as 7am ?

Does anyone know if we need to send official score reports to SMU for the TEAS/HESI? Or do we just need to upload a copy to nursingcas?

Everyone here seems really competitive! It's very difficult to know exactly what SMU is looking for. As someone stated before, luck probably plays a HUGE part with SMU

Specializes in Medical Assistant- 10 years.

Hello All, 

I wait-listed for Spring 2021, disappointing to say the least but considering the amount of applicant's I'm grateful to have been wait listed.

* 11 years clinical experience as Certified  Medical Assistant in Surgical Specialties at Sutter Health 

* A.S. Degree Medical Assisting, with Honors

* AAMA Medical Assisting Certified 

*CPR BLS Certified

* Clinical Preceptor for MA Program at Sutter Health

* 60 hours volunteer 

*3.5 Pre Req GPA

*3.0 Science GPA 

* HESI2 studying now for exam end of month!

Not sure what the "wait list" process is like for SMU, such as how many applicants on average get taken from wait list? etc. But I am going to reapply for Fall 2021 and will also be applying to SF to have more options and  I heard SF is a good school and a much much lower cost.

Hey guys! 
I sent an email to -----------------------.  And she said that we will be getting weekly updates on the wait list and that we should start our fall app as well as take either the HESI or TEAS. She also said that for Spring the usually pull 5-10 from the waitlist for admissions..

I am trying to register for the HESI exam and it is asking for a payment ID. Do I use 19485 even though it says that payments due date is for 7/1/2020

 

any help would be greatly appreciate ☺️

If you have not taken your HESI/TEAS, when are you taking it? I want to take it late November to get as much study time as possible but I don’t want to take it too late. Do you receive results immediately?

For the HESI, you receive your results as you take the test and then they give you your report as soon as you finish the exam!

Did you guys see they changed the personal statement questions?

Yeah its kind of annoying. Some of them are worded similarly so I’m going to chop up what I wrote and just put it back together. There’s no way I’m starting completely from scratch. At least not for all of them.
