Hi everyone!

Undergraduate degree in Biochemistry. My stats are 3.9 science GPA and total GPA. I've worked the past year as a caregiver/ CNA and I'm a scribe in an ED in California. I'm nervous about even applying to this program it feels unattainable LOL. good luck to everyone ❤️ 

Hi, Have you been able to complete the video essay and timed response? If so, what is the email that sent the information on how to upload this information. I don't see anything and it says that we should've recieved this information on the day we opened the application.

Hi!! Thank you so much for your insight. This application process has definitely been stressful but I have been taking breaks from it and trying to enjoy life. I do have one question, regarding the resume portion. Do you have any advice on what it should look like? I was wondering if if should focus more on anything I've done healthcare related and to omit any jobs that weren't. 

Hi Jess, I'm so glad to hear! Sorry for my late reply, looks like they moved the deadline date up this year -- if you haven't submitted already, I'd make sure you've included all relevant job/volunteer/internship experience related to healthcare experiences. Additionally, if you've had an involvement opportunity not related to healthcare but was really impactful for you, don't be afraid to include that too! Best of luck!! ?

Hey there!! I'm not able to respond to the DM but I can respond here -- I did not fill out my parent's income on FAFSA, I filed independently! There should be an option to skip the portion that asks you to fill out parental income. Hope that helps ?

Did anyone receive an email that said something along the lines of that their application is being reviewed. The only email I received was my application has been submitted. I had to email someone to make sure that they had all my application materials and they do but I was confused because usually you receive an email saying your application is being reviewed and we have all your materials etc....

@NursingM No, I was worried about that too. I emailed and called admissions and they confirmed that everything was in so I think we are good.
