Hello, The 60 percent refers to the SMUMN pass rate from the class of 2019. I took over the program, and our pass rate is now over 90%. Our graduation rate is 100 percent. Thanks Leah Gordon

No need to apologize. I am glad to share insights.

Hi everyone! So, yes, we have made our decision. NO, the admissions office has not been informed of our decisions. We are working through a new process of electronic acceptance. My plan is to get letters out first thing next week. It sounds like...

Yes, that is what it means. We have made a decision. Just need to spiral through the formal processes. Thanks to all of you. What a great group of applicants.

Hi everyone The admissions office actually does have a formal process. They will be sending out emails on our behalf soon. I can't make them go faster. (I wish I could). I did not know that they wanted to take this from our hands, but with COVID...

Hi everyone Our group is going to meet in the next 10 days to make a decision. Thank you for your patience.

You should haveheard either way by now. Please reach out to Daniel Lawrence so he can double check your file if you have not heard either way. Thank you! Leah Gordon

Hi there, thank you for the question. I am copying the instructions below. For the purpose of this worksheet I had also created an accompanying sheet that detailed exactly what we count as a math or science class. I listed multiple subjects and ...

I have asked the admissions department to send letters. It sounds like they come in the U.S. mail. I will confirm tomorrow. Thank you!

Good morning, I am reading the comments and I do want to share that we are looking very closely at the science and math GPA worksheet that each applicant submits. We go through and make sure you listed all of your science and math classes, but e...

Also a great question! I can't really comment here. If you are interested, ask at your interview! Thanks.

Great question! You will need to reapply, so get ready. It is going to be a smaller pool because it will be fast and furious! Starts Fall 2021! Dr. G

Hi there, Yes, that should be accurate. Letters will be coming from the admissions office. We plan to be offering our DNP starting the fall of 2021, so please keep an eye out! Dr. Gordon

Hi there! The interviews are get to know you type interviews. Casual. We want to see what you are like as a person more than anything. Thank you so much! Dr. Gordon

Hello! It sounds like you will be able to see updates on smumn.edu/myapp. I asked the admissions office because I do not work in that department. At the University level I do not have the ability to have a complete understanding of all of the bells a...

Great question! I will check with the admissions office to see what they are doing during COVID.

Hi Everyone! We are selecting our interview candidates now. Letters will be out in two weeks either way - if you will be interviewed, or, if we will not be interviewing you at this time. Thank you again for your patience and interest in our program. ...

Hi everyone! We are going to start reviewing files next week. Again, COVID has made it very difficult for us to follow a strict timeline. Ensuring our current students stay in clinical is a huge time commitment for us, and our priority is there. Plea...

Hi there We typically like to discuss you and your work experience etc. Thanks Dr. Gordon

Hi there Updates? We will be reviewing applications soon. Some transcripts are still coming in despite the fact that applicants requested them months ago (due to COVID). We are making sure our ducks are in a row and we will start the process very soo...

Hi Amanda, In years past we have had a waiting list with which we guaranteed admission. As I was 'new' one year ago I maintained this tradition. As I have grown in my role as a program director, I have realized that is not a very good process. For ea...

Hi there! Great question. We admit 32 students each M.S. cohort. So we will admit 32 M.S. students in Spring. As for fall, provided the DNP is approved we COULD admit 30 additional students. Honestly COVID might impact that number if clinical spots ...

Hi everyone! This is Leah Gordon, Director at St. Mary's We are going to be completing our application review in August 2020. We have a deadline for our DNP application of August 1 with the Council on Accreditation, so I am knee deep in that work. O...
