@hanabiwabi, I don't mind answering your questions! - I'm not sure what the admissions committee liked about me/my application exactly, but I guess I can just tell you a bit about my "stats" since applicants tend to be concerned about this (I known I...

No problem @snailszy! I remember being on the other side just last year with a billion questions, so let me know if there's anything else I can help answer!

HEY Pat! It's Jess! I'm a 1st year MECN student also, and I'd be happy to answer any questions, as well! To answer your questions, @snailszy: 1. We're only in our first quarter, so it may be too soon to tell. But so far, my impression is that UCLA i...

@biglittlev I just received an email today from the Financial Aid Director offering me a fellowship. It was a complete surprise since I didn't apply for anything! But I read up on it, and I guess it didn't require an application. Also, I liked what ...

Couldn't have said it better myself. Don't lose all hope, guys! There are always ways to strengthen your application if this round didn't work out. I had terrible grades in my first two/three years of school, as in multiple non-A's, even some in my p...

Thank you everyone!!! My last name starts with an "S" as well. Maybe they're doing it backwards alphabetical? Haha I don't know. But I also got an email within 5 min of seeing the letter online. So I must've checked just as they were posting it. Hang...

MECN!

OMG.... I GOT ACCEPTED AHHHH! I'm so shaky right now. Can't believe it! Just checked online and the letter is there! I hope you guys find out today too!!!

Ugh, my heart dropped when I saw that. Hopefully that means it's coming soon!!

Hi @matthewandrew, where did you hear about decision letters coming out this week?

@wheems you're not the only one. I personally turned Western down because of the ridiculously high tuition. I'm sure it's a great school with awesome professors and clinical experiences. Every student I've spoken with has loved the program, but the o...

To those of you who are eagerly awaiting a decision letter... I attended the 2nd early acceptance opportunity day and heard back within 2 weeks. My deposit was due by today (2 weeks within receiving the letter), but I've decided to decline the offer....

I received my acceptance letter after attending the 2nd early acc opp day, as well. They told us we would hear back in 2 weeks, and sure enough, we did! The deposit for acceptance is due within 2 weeks of your receiving your letter. I received word t...

I don't think there was a specific prompt. I pretty much just answered the Western U & UCLA prompts and modified my answer to better fit APU.

@TLeeM thank you! I know, I was pretty surprised because I hadn't heard from them at all until now. @thatsmile I guess I'll see you on Wednesday! :)

@drm2013 you should definitely reapply for the next cycle! I know someone that didn't get accepted the first time, but got accepted after improving her resume and personal statement. My GPA was not so great -- 3.38 in Biological Sciences at UCR, so ...

I just received an e-mail inviting me to an Early Acceptance Opportunity Day for February 5th. Did anyone else receive this e-mail? I thought there was only one early acceptance day, but I guess not?

Hi everyone! I know this thread is kind of old now, but I just found out that I was admitted to the Inland Empire location for Summer 2014. I was wondering if anyone else was admitted to this location for Summer? I would love to get in contact with p...

Thank you! I believe I interviewed with someone from the Azusa campus, which was my first choice, but I told her I would be willing to attend the Inland Empire location, as well.

Hey everyone, I just received an email this morning stating that I've been admitted to the Inland Empire location for Summer 2014. It said an official acceptance letter will be mailed in 5-7 business days. So glad the wait is over! Wishing the rest o...

I had a phone interview with ------------- recently, and she said they are meeting this week! She said we should hear decisions no later than mid January. The wait is excruciating! Did anyone else's APU account status change to reflect a completed ap...

@emu3121 Thanks for the input! The interview/advising session was a bit unclear on the admissions website. I thought that we could still be interviewed as long as the application was in by the due date, but maybe not. From what everyone's been saying...

Hello everyone! I submitted my application reeeally close to the deadline, I believe on Oct. 30th. I just got a letter saying that my application has been received and is now being "reviewed by the academic department for an admissions decision." Did...

Hi guys, I submitted my app on Oct. 31st and I'm already dying to hear back! I just graduated with a BS in Biological Sciences at UCR with an overall GPA of 3.38, and a last 90 unit GPA of about 3.73. My pre-req GPA probably isn't as impressive as I...

Thanks for the info SoCalGalRN! music&rhythm91, at Preview Day, they said that 566 applied, ~200 were interviewed, 60 were accepted. The average age was 24-26. I don't remember if GPA was mentioned. How is everyone doing on their Personal Stateme...
