Samuel Merritt University (SMU), Sacramento Campus ABSN - Spring 2026

Published

Hey all,

Starting this thread for anyone applying to Samuel Merritt ABSN program Spring 2026 (Sacramento campus).  If you wish to share your experiences and updates, please post here.

  • I applied early June when the deadline was July 1st
  • Application deadline was subsequently moved to July 15th sometime in mid-June
  • Few days ago it was moved out all the way to Nov 15th

I did attend one of the Sacramento on-campus orientation sessions in May and was told that prospective students might hear back end of July or August, but given the deadline push it seems unlikely now.  I reached out to SMU but received a very non-committal and vague feedback on what to expect... basically "hurry up and wait" sort of response.

Looking forward to hearing from others who are applying to this cohort - please chime in!
