Holy crap I feel like an asshat. I never got notified that people had responded to my post. I thought no one cared! I was recently accepted to Azusa Pacific. I live in Portland Oregon but have family in SoCal so I am no stranger to the location. Did you get in?

@TtotheAna...

Congrats on getting accepted! Which campus did you get accepted to/for which semester? I just got accepted as well...at the San Diego campus for Spring 2015 but there is a chance that I could end up starting Fall 2014 if someone else decides not to attend. I can't wait to get started. Congrats again!

I was accepted for this summer '14 program at the Inland Empire Campus. I was hoping for the Azusa or San Diego Campus but I'm excited either way to just get started with the program! It is such a nice feeling to have a start date, don't you think? Congrats again! :up:

Congrats to everyone that has been accepted into the ELM program! I too have been accepted!! However, I did not receive a letter or email. I contacted APU and they informed me of acceptance. According to APU they are still sending out letters. =)

Hi everyone! Congrats to you all!

I am applying soon to this same program but may I how exactly did the interview/academic evaluation go? Apparently it can be entirely over the phone so would it just a normal standard interview or did they more go over your application step by step to let you know exactly where you stand in terms of cohort admittance? I want to ask because I have no idea to what to expect for this interview/evaluation.

Also, about how early did you guys submit your application BEFORE the deadline to be able to get a interview/evaluation set up?

I'm so worried. Thank you so much for your advice, everyone!

Hi Tina,

I am not a great example but I applied very late on 10/30 with a 11/1 deadline... do not do that. I heard back within 2 weeks and then scheduled an interview another 2 weeks from then. Since I'm not in the area, they first suggested Skype; maybe that's better than just the phone so they can see how excited you are and such. General questions like why you want a particular location, why Azusa. The writing sample really threw me off; it wasn't challenging but it was something I haven't given too much thought for and it took me a while to just narrow it down from all the possibilities and get to writing. I am naturally indecisive and a poor impromptu writer. I didn't feel like I wrote a great essay or anything. I was using a new computer whose OS I wasn't used to and somehow my Skype did not ring! Beware Windows 8 - I was in desktop mode and not in the exclusive Skype application? Anyway, I missed her call and then she called me on my phone as backup and then I skyped me again and all was well. In the interview, she clarified some things on my transcript (maybe it was hard to read?) and went over what else I needed to complete. Before saying goodbye, she told me that I was in good standing (I didn't think there was a point to ask). In any interview, remember your questions tell a lot about your interests/intentions/personality too. Think of good questions! Good luck!

I got into San Diego so maybe I will be seeing some of you! I would however prefer to stay in the Bay Area so if anyone is hoping for a spot, you'll be getting mine if I get in elsewhere. I won't find out until spring, sorry for the wait!
