Just received the call- I got in! Yay!

@OskitheOso did you receive a call from K? Did she say anything about the cohort size or when she will be done notifying people?

Has anyone else heard anything?

CONGRATS!!! Thank you for letting us know.... now i am a HUGE nervous wreck!!!

I had no idea the writing sample was so important and would be rated! Good luck to everyone. I really hope we hear back this week! Eeks!

Okay, good to know! Fingers crossed! If anyone hears anything let us know :)

Does anybody know when the last interviews are/when we will hear back?! Getting anxious!!!

Yes I agree! You really have no reason to be nervous :) Good luck!

Good luck tomorrow! You will do great! If you have any feedback please let us know :) Mine is coming up on Tuesday, so nervous!

My interview date is 3/5! And I talked to someone in the program and they said that it does not matter at all when you interview! She is very detail oriented and really knows your application, so I wouldn't worry!

I also got invited to interview yesterday! Anxious and nervous and excited all at the same time. I did not send additional transcripts when i applied to the school.

Congrats sugarlips on passing the NCLEX!!! That is so exciting :) And NatBoehm let's keep in touch! I am excited yet REALLY nervous. Are you applying anywhere else around that time?

Hi everyone! Just wanted to know how everyone was doing at Mount St Marys? I am planning on applying to MSMC March 2012 for August 2012, so same time as you guys! Is there any advice you guys could give me to make myself a stronger applicant? I am a senior at UCSB and so I do not have as much work experience as most of you it seems, however I do have a lot of community service, hospital volunteer hours, and leadership positions I am involved in! Also, at the time of my application, I will be enrolled in Microbio and will have just finished my second religious studies course. Do you think this will hurt my application? If yes, should I wait to apply in November? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I am so lost!

Wow thanks for your quick response! I feel sort of lame for reading that ENTIRE thread :) And thank you as well for your advice. I think I will! I am also looking into applying to Concordia, CSUN, USD, SFSU, USF, Samuel Merritt, and WesternU but MSMC is looking like my number 1 so I will be applying a couple months earlier than I will be to the rest just to see what happens. Is there anything you (or anyone else of course) can think of to make myself a stronger applicant?

Hi everyone! The information you have provided on this threat is amazing! I recently decided to apply to MSMC March 2012 to start in August. A lot of you said that the reason you did not get in first was because of prereqs being in progress. At the time of March, I will be taking Microbio and will just have finished my last religious studies so that grade will not yet be available (I am on quarter at UCSB). Do you think that this will hurt my application greatly? I have a 3.4 GPA and around a 3.8 for my prereq GPA. I volunteer as a Clinical Care Extender at St Johns Hospital in Oxnard and have completed over 120 hours. I am also starting another hospital volunteer program in Santa Barbara. I have help 2 executive positions in my sorority, am a gymnastics coach, a private coach, and an after school tutor. I have done numerous community service projects to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and for CASA. I have scheduled an orientation at the school and will meet with a counselor to go over my application, but based on that do you think that I should wait to apply in November to make my application stronger after I finish my prereqs? Or do you think I should still apply in March? My dream in life is to be an RN and I believe MSMC is the school for me. My sisters live in LA and I already have housing available and my parents will cover my tuition for me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I cannot help but feel jealous of all of you who are one step ahead and one step closer :) Congrats to all of you!
