I applied to this program as well and have not heard anything back. I made a few mistakes on my application (not using the correct recommendation forms... ooops!) so I am not sure if I will hear later than everyone else or this hurt my chances to get in. Do you know how competitive this program is? I did ask the admissions assistant when we would know and she said end of this month/beginning of March... Good luck! let me know if you hear anything!!

Hello! Still no word... I spoke w/someone in their admissions office, and she said they'd received a lot of applications and that it will take longer than expected to review. It sounds like a first wave of acceptance letters went out mid-February, and more will go out through the end of March. Any news for you?? Good luck...

Hi,

I also applied to the ELMSN. Have not heard anything yet. Someone else who applied to the program received an acceptance letter in January. She was asked to send in her deposit by Feb. 13th. I think they may be sending acceptance out in batches based on the number of people who accept their offers.

Does anyone know how many people are accepted each year?

Still no news on my front, I am hoping the end of this week or beginning of next. I got into USD's program and they want a deposit by Mar 16, so I am hoping to know by then.
I am not sure how many are accepted each year, I would be curious to know as well, I doubt it is a very large program. Good to know that there are others that haven't heard Did you guys apply to other programs in the northwest?

No, I did not apply to any other programs in the NW. It seems this year there has been a large increase in the number of applicants to many of the programs so it's been extra competitive.

Good luck.

Post Note Re: Anyone Applying to PLU?
Hi,

I got my acceptance letter from PLU around the end of January. I really wasn't expecting to hear until at least Feb/March, so it was a big, but very pleasant, surprise. I have sent in my acceptance letter, but also recently got a positive letter from Seattle University. I am about 90% sure of attending PLU. My pros and cons for attending each school are listed on another thread titled "Applied to OHSU and Seattle University ...". I'd love to hear from others regarding attending either school. I know that SU received around 200 applications, interviewed about 95 and accepted (I think) about 60.

Hi again,

I forgot to mention that as far as number of applications at PLU for the ELMSN program, I know that last year they received 121 and accepted about 30%. I haven't heard about this year's numbers.
