@gwmjnp Congrats! did you receive an email about your admission for I.E. or a phone call??

GwmjNP · Dec 22, 2017

@ eikejulia I received a phone call from San Diego Campus. I don't received any emails bout status changed. I emailed Renee about that and she said Graduate Admissions sends official letters to students so i will be hearing from them. She said the letter may not come until after January 1.

@SomedayFNP here are my stats:

Graduated with Accounting major with a cumulative GPA of 2.9. Went back to my local CC and retook classes and prereqs, so last 60/90 units was a 3.9. Volunteered for CCE for 2 years, and currently a CNA for 2 years. Honestly, I was surprised that I got an interview and acceptance. I think what helped me with my app was my strong letter of recommendations and my experience as a CNA because that was the first thing she commented on during my interview.

I also want to comment on for those who didn't get in, please and don't lose hope! Reapply! If you have any questions or need help with anything like apps, I will be happy to help! I understand the struggle and during app processes, I wish I had someone to help or guide me. Feel free to email me at [email protected] about anything! Happy holidays!

@kplam

Thank you so much for sharing and for your support! As I haven't heard back yet and my status online hasn't changed I'm assuming I didn't get in. I'll reapply but I'm bummed because APU was my first choice school.

I'm also a little confused as to why I didn't get in to be honest. I've been a CNA for a year now and I have volunteered at Kaiser and done job shadowing at my local hospital. I also worked for 2 years at the community college where I took my prereqs doing health promotion (organizing health fairs, blood drives, etc).

I've taken all the prerequisites except O Chem and Biochem (I'll be taking those next semester). I received an A in every prerequisite. My undergrad GPA was 3.3 and I have a BA in philosophy from UC Santa Barbara. But my prereq GPA was 4.0 and last 60/90 was 3.55.

I've been waitlisted at the university of Hawaii and I'm still waiting to hear back from western, USF, USD, and Samuel Merritt. I just hope I get in somewhere!

I just got a call from the main campus program rep Mr. Watkins. He said my application status is "no decision" so far and that I won't hear back until January. He did confirm that they have filled all of the Fall 2018 spots and that I'm looking at either being waitlisted, admitted to a different semester, or receiving a rejection letter.

Congrats melphor & feliciarose56! I applied for the Summer 2018 start for SD but got into the Spring 2019 start. Have you started a FB group yet?

feliciarose56 · Dec 24, 2017

No I haven't, I've only found one other person on facebook that got accepted.

Congrats @jlynny! I look forward to meeting you too! Isn't it a relief to know we got accepted ðŸ˜ŠðŸŒ»

JLynnY, BSN, RN · Dec 27, 2017

@Soma122 thank you the same to you :) yes it definitely is. I'm very grateful that they sent the email before the holidays.

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and get good news later!

Hey everyone, sorry for the late post. i applied and didn't get into the Azusa main campus for Fall 18 but got accepted with a guaranteed spot for Spring 19.

My stats were fairly competitive: 3.8 Science, 3.8 Non-Science, 3.2 cumulative but I feel what helped me stand out was my hospital volunteering experience at LAC+USC, community clinic experience, doing multiple mission trips overseas and getting a CNA license and working as a med tech for an assisted living facility.

Congrats to my fellow Spring 2019'ers and to those that haven't gotten in yet, keep trying!
