APU ELM MSN Spring 2021

Updated:   Published

Hello,

just starting a forum thread so all applicants or future applicants can communicate with each other regarding the application.

I have applied to Azusa Pacific ELM program for Spring 2021 at the Inland Empire. I have not gotten an interview yet but hopefully soon, fingers crossed. Anyone gotten a response yet?

I got denied for the second time too

Ahh?? to everyone who got denied. Don’t give up guys. I know there is a school out there that will accept us. I have to say that if anyone plans to reapply, it’s a good idea to change personal statement, letters of rec, and also add some things to resume. Maybe get a clinical position, volunteering, etc. They want to see change.

I completed my Bachelors at APU. Was denied twice. I have years of experience in health care and good recommendations. I wish they would provide a reason as why not accepted. For those whod like to connect about where else to apply, here is my email address.

Dont give up guys!

I was accepted to the SD campus, so I don't know if it makes a difference in terms of stats. My stats definitely show that they do not only focus on GPA. My overall GPA is a 3.68, but that is combined with my first years at community college where I had personal stuff going on. I did graduate with an SDSU uperdivision GPA of 3.9 and honors in my major. My science GPA is 3.69. I have over 200 hours volunteering in the perinatal unit of Sharp Mary Birch and had my lead nurse write me a letter of rec. I do have to say that I am pretty good at writing, so I think my personal letter I wrote and the summary I did probably benefited me. I was also raised a Christian and, I don't know if anyone else was asked, but my interviewer asked if I had any volunteer experience in a church setting, so I luckily had quite a bit. All of this is speculation though. One last thing, during my interview, what I originally thought was a detriment might have helped me was when she asked if I had any caregiving experience for family or friends. My grandpa, whom I helped caregive for, passed away just two months prior and I started bawling while telling her my experience with him. Honestly, I do not think I will ever know why exactly they chose me over others, but for those that did not get accepted, do not give up hope! This was one of the only schools I got accepted at because of my lower GPA.

Rejected for the SD campus.

Stats: 3.4 cum (UC Berkeley, Psych Major) I have a strong upward trend and everything I've taken in the last several years has been A's, 1 or 2 B's. I went out of my way to keep taking advanced coursework in biochem, endocrinology, pharmacology. Pre-req was 3.9 or 4.0 I believe.

Experience: ~200 hours as a hospital volunteer. Earned my CNA cert and worked 8 months as a CNA. Roughly 1 year as an ER scribe. Then worked as a Clinical Research Coordinator in spine/neurosurgery for another 6 months.

I drove ~4 hours to interview and 4 hours back. I really felt great about the interview and had lots to talk about given my experience and personal/academic growth.

I'm heartbroken and at this point unsure of what to do. I've worked so hard and just want an opportunity and I've been rejected from another program. Others I don't even know if they will be continuing, given COVID and what not. I wonder if they thought I was overqualified and would not be attending, even if admitted. I'm so desperate for some good news right now... this is crushing.
