APU ELM Spring 2019

[aschreiman]

Hello everyone,

I am in the process of applying to APU ELM program for Spring of 2019. I was just looking to connect to other applicants. I will be applying to the main campus. If anyone has any questions feel free to post, I have found the older forums from previous cohorts to be very helpful when looking for advice.

Guys! I received my interview date for April 12th for the main campus (': I'm so ecstatic, because I honestly didn't think I would get called back for this cycle. Thank you for everyone's advice regarding the interview. Hoping for the best for all of us!

I actually have no idea how many points I have or how many points it takes to get in. Gosh this makes me so nervous!!

Wait I'm 27, is that old enough?! Lol

@doctav I have no clue how many points I have. were you able to see it on the sheet she had in front of her? Maybe @somedayFNP can better answer that since he's gone through this before. She did tell me that she likes older candidates, I'm 31 and had a previous career in finance/business, that generally are more mature and have more life experience. So I'm not sure how they weigh in those kind of variables

@inkabruce Which campus did you interview at? I'm also curious about the points, I wasn't given any information on the point system during my interview so I have no idea where I fall on their scale. I'm also an older student in my early 30s with a business/marketing background. I'm hoping that they take our professional experience into consideration even if it's not medical. I'm nervous because I don't have any medical or volunteer experience yet, although I'm starting a volunteer program soon. I know APU doesn't requite those things but I'm assuming they give extra points for them.

@hca4 I interviewed at the main campus in Azusa/Monrovia. I live in the Culver City area so that would be the easiest transition for me, but I asked to be considered for all campuses as well. And yea, I've been hoping that having a previous career professionally counts for something throughout this whole process.

Good luck! Hopefully we'll all be hearing good news next month :)

They're still interviewing people at main campus, some People posted they have an interview April 10th I believe so I don't think we're going to hear back till they're done interviewing

@somedayfnp I wish! This wait is excruciating. It probably doesn't hurt to call APU and explain your situation.

[SomedayFNP]

Lol that's what I figured, I was just overly hopeful

@SomedayFNP

I think we still have another month to hear back. I interviewed with the director of the program and she said May 4th. It's so hard to wait, I feel like the interview process is a lot longer than it was in the Fall. Did you interview with someone different this time around? What did you think?

@ftrprovider Is May 4th for the main campus?
