APU ELM for Fall 2013

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

I just applied to the Entry Level Masters program for Azusa Pacificu University and the deadline was November 1st....has anyone received a phone call for an interview? They are very vague on when you might hear something so I just want to know if anyone has heard....I have a 4.0 in all my pre reqs and a 3.7 GPA on my previous bachelors...I have no volunteer work so im curious if im still competitive or what you guys have going in as well that have heard...I dont know if its going through the pile thing, or if they call the people they like the best first? Im trying to be patient but I just need to hear something!!

KamurRR:Oh ok I was just wondering where you did your advising session. I told them I also didn't care about which campus I ended up at I think if students don't have a preference they put u where spots are available at least thats what I understood. How was your interview did you have to do a writing sample?

That's good to hear!! What the prereq issues?? I have one class left to take and hopefully I will take care of that this winter session, if you applied for Fall 2013 you have until the start of the APU fall semester to get your classes done so it shouldn't be a problem.

KaurRR you should go to the SD campus, im a fellow canadian so we can be buds :yes:

My interview went well! I had to write an essay when i got there, they gave me twenty minutes. I dont know if all essays are the same, I assume not, but mine asked me if i could meet two people dead alive or fictional who would i pick and what would i ask over a coffee. So i think they just want to see how your verbal skills are. Nothing too intense. I live in OC right now (NB) but i want to live in SD so i told them I prefer SD but im available for any of the spots. She said they review on the 10th and we wont hear anything until at least after christmas, prob more like early mid january via snail mail. I thought i was all done with my pre reqs but as it turns out I need Research Methods :banghead: so annoying because i was hoping to get into an earlier cohort, but what can ya do!?

The interview was pretty much just going over the course work, my pre reqs and literally two questions about why i want to be a nurse. Its very mellow considering how much i hyped it up in my head. They are all very nice when you go in. Different then state universities ive noticed. I feel like here youre not just a number, most schools seem to be annoyed by your presence at all times.

my friend who applied to the main campus never took a writing test either and she got accepted in, so it might be a new thing, or maybe just the SD campus does it? When i told her about my essay, she had no idea what i was talking about....so dont fret :)

can you take the course at APU? maybe move down here early? or just take it at a community college while you get situated wherever you move to.

I was born in Surrey (Bla) but lived in Langley. All my family is spread out between BC and Alberta. Where do you live and why did you choose APU out of all the schools you could go to, and why not take a nursing course in Canada? I hear its alot easier to get in up there then in California where everything is impacted. California is amazing, but its by far the hardest state to get a nursing school slot. I say if youre just moving out here and dont care where you go, you should live on the coast and San Diego is amazing, but its not a university as much as it is an office building you go to. so if you want a university campus atmosphere, id go to the main campus, but if you want to love where you live, go to SD :)
