Hey guys, I thought Id start a thread for the SFSU BSN program since I havent found one yet. I should be submitting everything this upcoming week.

Good luck to us all!

Do any of you have thoughts on Samuel Merritt vs SFSU? I am leaning towards SFSU because of the cost, but I am more mixed on the other factors.

May I ask what are the other factors?

I’m in the same boat as you. I’m leaning towards SFSU as well, simply because it’s cheaper..

I guess mostly because SFSU is such a big school that doesn't seem to have as much resources as SMU does for its nursing program. And it seems like SMU has more people working to try and help you succeed. Although honestly I don't know as much about SFSU as I do about SMU because SFSU does not put out as much information, and I was never able to visit due to coronavirus. I believe that class sizes are smaller at SMU as well.

I got my acceptance email now as well! Though, if anyone got waitlisted, then I'm giving up my spot at SFSU so hopefully you can attend ? I got accepted into CSULB last Tuesday and I have already accepted their offer as that was my top choice nursing school! 

Congratulations to everyone & good luck waitlisters! 

I am number 4 on the waitlist and really want to get in ... thank you

From what I've read and heard, it's better to go to SFSU because it's easier to get a job after graduating than it is with SMU on your resume, especially in the Bay. It's so difficult to get into SFSU compared to SMU so people have a high respect for SFSU BSN grads. Also the cohort is very small at SFSU compared to SMU and the school in general isn't that large. And the clinical options are awesome because of all the hospitals within SF.

@ClementineI also found this forum that compares a lot of schools if that would help ?

Hi,
Please what do you think about taking the alternate option then reapply since I didn’t get in? On the waitlist but got into the alternate major which I don’t really like. Not sure what to do.

I am number #4 on the waitlist does anyone think I have a chance of getting in ? I was so sad getting waitlisted I felt my interview went well.

I'm 10th on the waitlist so I feel you ? I think you have pretty good chances if you are 4th!

I am 14th on the list so I definitely feel both of you. I feel like both of you have a good chance. So don’t loose hope and stay positive ?
