My interview was 2/4 and I haven't heard anything either. Not even sure if offers are still going out...has anyone had the guts to just call and ask at all? I don't have other options yet so I'm completely crushed...really thought my scores, grades, and experience would be enough.

Thank you! My interview was on Feb 26th. I have a feeling offers are still going out. I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing there's multiple people who got into other programs as well. As the decline, I think spots will open up. I feel for those of you still waiting - its the worst!

Nvm jst got the call. Damn where to go...

If you're thinking long-term, UCLA will look really good on your resume. Just sayin'.

My interview was 2/26 and I haven't heard anything either. Getting really bummed out since this is my last chance for getting into a program this year.

I'm kind of surprised by this ratio, it was higher in previous years, right? I would think that those in this forum would likely show that much more motivation and desire to get into the program...they're on here because they truly care about their success in the application process.

With that said, maybe she hasn't sent out 30 offers yet? It seems like her plate is exceptionally full this year, and we don't know what kind of paperwork and hoops she has to go through to offer each candidate a spot.

I know of one other person not on this forum who got an interview and hasn't received any correspondence yet. His interview was on the first day of interviews in January, and he is an extremely competitive candidate on paper with his grades, TEAS scores, and experience.

Guess we just have to sit and wait (agonizing - I know), but until we get rejection emails, there's still hope.

Have any rejections out at all (to those interviewed)? I know it doesn't feel good to admit you got one...but we have all been very supportive of each other and we are here for you if you got bad news!

Oh @angie155 I'm so sorry to hear that. Do you have other schools that you can go to? I'm scrambling to meet other deadlines now too, just in case. Keep your chin up!

I'm really sorry to hear that as well. I wish you the best with other schools. Have you looked into Cal State San Marcos ABSN program? They have 3 cohorts per year and their requirements are similar to Cal State LA's.
