Hello everyone! I haven't seen a thread for the Fall 2025 semester. I was wondering if anyone else applied for this cycle? I applied to the inland empire campus, my first time applying.

Has anyone already had their interview? If so, how do you recommend we prepare? What questions did they ask? Were they approachable and friendly or was it a professional environment? What advice can you give us to prepare? 

I had my interview! It was really nice, she was asking pretty straightforward questions and was super open to answering mine! I definitely recommend having the right environment (quiet spot, decent lighting, appropriate shirt) and being ready to be honest, not just give frilly/rehearsed answers! 🙂

Definitely be yourself and dress professional. Try not to over rehearse! They were super friendly so that definitely helped.

That's awesome. Best of luck in the program. Is that on the Azusa campus in Azusa?  I wish they offered the ELM on the main campus and not satellite campus like in SD, IE, Monrovia. 

What's the BSN transfer? If you applied to ELM do you have your bachelor's degree already or will soon?

Jorge did you ever get an interview? My admissions rep told me it's not necessarily a bad thing if you don't get an interview request! It could mean that you had enough to be accepted!

Hello, 

No I actually did not get an interview this time around.  I'm going to reapply for the Spring. I'm working on my EMT certs now, so maybe that could make a difference.  I know there is still time to hear back this cycle.  I have a best friend who last year applied to Samuel Merritt University in Oakland for Fall and didn't get accepted but then was accepted for Spring. It's not a deal breaker if I don't get in this time.  I'll be back for sure. This Summer I've been volunteering as well.  🙏🏼🙏🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Invitations for interviews will occur most likely in June. No need to call me since I do not have access to their review process or their list. Admissions decisions will be distributed 8-10 weeks after the deadline in July. You can log in to your application portal for an update on your admissions decision in July. You will be receiving a phone call from me if you are admitted! If you are admitted, please remember there is a $ 500 non refundable deposit to secure your spot in the cohort. 🎉 Classes begin August 25, 2025.
