I don't know. I have no Idea. I feel why we have to wait that long.

I figured by now we would of known something. Do we get notified on the portal if we don't get accepted?

Congratulations to all of you who have been accepted so far! its easier said than done, but if you havent gotten an update yet that is normal, it takes awhile for everything to get processed. the first time I applied I did not get in and I think I got a "rejection letter" on my student portal. also they have saved seats for classes, so yes we did just register for Summer semester, but if you are accepted they will be sending more information soon to get you ready for when you start. I think we had signed up for all classes and done a bit of required university training and other things all before we even had orientation. best of luck to you all! and I didn't make it in my first time so don't get discouraged!

Thank you to everyone for sharing updates! I had my interview the second week of February. I originally applied for the fall at Monrovia but they expedited my application to the Summer. I currently have two prerequisite courses (non-science) that overlap with the potential start date for the Summer, so I'm not sure how this will all work out.

My interviewer stated that we would be hearing back early March, but I know there can be delays. I plan to reach out to my rep if I don't hear back by the end of the week in order to plan next steps.

@Reign Schoeben When you reapplied, did you redo your application and/or change any work experience? I will probably re-write my essay (and I will have completed the two prerequisites) but I'm not sure if I should change anything else.

Thank you can you share how your experience has been so far and why you chose Azusa?

Hello, when I reapplied I did not change almost anything on the application itself, I think I changed maybe two sentences out of my whole essay. I think the big difference for me was the interview. I don't feel like I did very well the first time, it was also online. it being online will not effect the probability of you getting in whatsoever but I think I am more nervous over the computer and have a hard time keeping eye contact so I looked very nervous and insecure vs when I interviewed in person. the second time I interviewed I made sure to sit tall and seem confident (even though I didn't feel it) and I practiced the common interview questions A TON and that I believe is what made the difference for me the second time. My experience so far has really been amazing! The courses themselves are no doubt challenging espically in the first couple of weeks when you have no idea what youre doing or how to plan everything out, but then it does get easier and more manageable. of course just when you think you have it down then something else gets added but then you get used to that. it is hard at times for sure since it is a graduate level program but it not at all impossible. the instructors so far are all amazing! you really get the sense that they care. I know many schools can feel like they want you to fail or are trying to weed out students but I don't feel that here. the people who work here to me really seem to have a passion for what they do and want to make the best nurses possible. I chose Azusa because I had a bachelors and wanted to do healthcare but wasnt sure what to do next. I decided I wanted to do nursing but didn't want to start at square one with an associates level program when I knew that eventually I was looking to be an NP, and Azusa was the perfect fit for me. I moved to the area a couple of years ago and just happened upon this program and I feel so blessed! Again good luck to you all!

Thank you for your response! I got into another school but waiting to see if I get in before deciding.
