2020 Spring SMU ABSN program

Published

Hey guys! wanted to start a tread for SMU ABSN program! Feel free to post any questions, updates or vent as this is a stressful time for all of us! Best of luck to you all!

I haven’t heard anything back from SMU and it said on the admitted portal my application is still be review. I’m guessing that probably means I’m waitlisted or didn’t get in? ?

At what time did you guys get the email notice?
also congrats to everyone on their acceptance ?

I checked out the Admitted Student Portal, but I believe it’s an account meant for students who ONLY got accepted. The banner says congratulations, but that’s because it’s for “ADMITTED” (past tense) students. Anyone can sign up. So I think we still have to wait on the email.

From the website, you can go to checklist and it will tell you the status of your application.

@T.TNurse don’t lose hope. I think I posted a few pages back that last year they rolled out the acceptances, followed by the waitlists and denials and then it was followed by another round of acceptances. That third round either were accepted or had VERY low waitlist numbers and many were accepted into the program as people turned down their spot. So don’t lose hope.

And for those of you who don’t get in, keep trying. This was my third time and I worked SO hard to continually update and improve my application. It really does make a difference for them to see the determination, grit, and perseverance. I started this journey with a low GPA and not a lot of hope I’d ever get in. If you’re determined and you’re willing to work for it, they will notice. Best of luck to everyone still waiting to hear. ?❤️

If you log in using your NursingCAS email and password, then click on Checklist, you’ll see a page that shows your current and past applications and their status. Anyone with an application can log in and see it.

Me too!!! Congratulations those girls who applied a couple of times and got in. I want you as study partners?

Will be looking to carpool from Rocklin to Sac SMU;)

Count me in! With all these years of fine tuning my grades and application, I’ve learned some great study techniques! Looking forward to meeting you @jndsass!

Hi guys! I’ve been following this group for a while, but never commented! I was admitted to the Sacramento ABSN cohort today! So excited to meet you all. Thought I’d start a Facebook group since there seems to be some interest in that!
