They will certainly contact you if you are a fit for the program and willing to relocate. There’s someone in my cohort currently in CA and is somehow making it work with clinicals. They ask you to sign a contract about where you agree to complete clinicals, though that is at your cost if you choose to stay in CA. Quite a few from my cohort also relocated to accommodate clinical placements. Hope this is helpful!

Adding on! If you are in a state that does not have or allow outside programs (like CA) and you choose to stay/apply to Emory, you will certainly be asked about your willingness to travel to another site (on your dime) and will sign a form outlining the agreement. For example, several cohort members are in Oregon and some have relocated to Seattle for the program to complete clinicals, while others have simply agreed to travel for the required clinicals. The only way Emory pays for the student to complete clinicals in Atlanta is if they are unable to place you in the agreed upon area. They are thorough in these discussions prior to admissions to ensure everyone is aware of their commitment. Our first and last clinical rotations are in Atlanta - those are included in the tuition. Hope this is helpful! Yep!

I think I requested the FB group, someone just needs to accept me! No, not prerequisites. For compliance, I mean immunizations, CPR cert, background checks, etc.

Hello! The Summer 21 cohort is full I believe. We had orientation last week and were told the cohort was full. The only caveat is that could change if people don’t fulfill their compliance requirements, which would open up some spots. Compliance is due by May 1st, classes start May 17th. Hope this is helpful! I don’t know anything about the fall cohort.

I received an acceptance and scholarship but releasing my spot! Hope it goes to one of you!

In my own soul searching, I've come to the conclusion that the masters only matters if you are planning on doing something with it. I don't have immediate plans to go into advanced practice. If or when I get there, perhaps my hospital or employer will be willing to kick in some money for me to get there. In the meantime, the name of the game is the least debt possible in the shortest amount of time, for me.

I received both the acceptance email and scholarship email this morning within the same hour. I’m on PST so I saw both when I woke up. Hope that’s helpful!

Hello! Congrats to everyone. I was accepted with a very nice scholarship, but will likely be releasing my spot.

Which program are you doing at Emory? I’m also likely releasing my spot! Just waiting to see what kind of financial aid I may get.

Did you attend the admitted students day? I reached out to my financial aid advisor, but just said I qualified for the standard unsubsidized/subsidized $12.5k per year. They mentioned there are very limited merit scholarships that are v competitive. I’m committed to the May cohort at the moment, but waiting on one other school. I don’t think anyone has started a FB group, but I didn’t see that many people for the May cohort at the admitted students day either. Also, congrats! Where are you joining from?

I so appreciate your honesty. I applied to Hopkins as sort of a consolation with the intent of only going if I had significant scholarship help and it certainly wasn't my first choice. I've heavily researched all the programs I've applied (all in different states) and sometimes this info just isn't out there. Maybe this isn't everyone's experience but it is extremely important to hear them out! Thank you again!

Also likely giving up my spot. FYI, my financial aid package had the standard subsidized/unsubsidized loan total at 12,500 for the year. Without those loans or COL, the tuition is $57,300. Their COL is almost $6k per quarter.

Haha - let's switch! I'm pretty confident in my writing skills, but feel I'm better face to face.

I didn't know they offered merit based scholarships. I know these are always limited, but nice to know they are out there! Some key takeaways for me: skills checkoffs, very supportive faculty and cohort, and a diverse student panel. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I saw decisions by March 5th?

Wowowww this is kind of wild. Anyone remember how many applicants to the Portland program on average? IIRC, they accept 32 per cohort for Fall/Winter and 24 for Spring or something like that...
