Samuel Merritt, ELMSN - Case Management Fall 2020?

Published

Hi fellow (hopeful) applicants,

I found this website while desperately trying to figure out when I would hear back from SMU! This wait is horrible and I’ve started dreaming about getting that interview email. Ha! I haven’t seen any specific thread for this program, so hoping maybe there’s someone out there feeling the same as me?

It seems like the application date moved from Nov 1 previous years to Dec 1 this year, so maybe we won’t hear until end of this month? Fingers crossed...?

Thanks for your replies!

I can ask about the writing assignment and will post the answer tomorrow.

This is what I got in an email in regards to the phone interview:

Just try and relax before your interview! my interviewer was super friendly ?

In regards to the written portion, my interviewer mentioned that the personal statement will be used in lieu of the written assignment. Hope this helps!

@yoajbm I did my interview today at 3PM and she still sent me the writing portion. I’m a little bit confused on how they determine who gets to write the essay or not. I think I did well but now I’m starting to overthink. My interviewer was Janet and she was super nice!

I had Janet too. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Hopefully, we’ll here by the next of this week. I know the last cohort didn’t have to wait 2-3 weeks like she said ??

I had Lisa and she was a bit tough but like @Bunnymummy said we shouldn’t worry too much about it. We all tried our very best and now all we can do is wait ?

I did my interview today at 1:00 pm and had Lisa. She was really nice. I spent the first half of the interview answering questions and the second half for Q/A. The call lasted around 58 minutes. She went in-depth with the curriculum and explained CM really well. She didn't mention anything about the writing portion but just said they will notify us in 2 weeks. Like all interviews, I would prepare by having an elevator speech ready. Hope this helps!

Hi there! I interviewed with Dr. Kate, and that's what she mentioned to me. Everyone seems to be having different responses so I guess we have to just wait on the people who interview today. I wouldn't worry too much about it!

Woo! Interviewed with Janet and I hope my nervousness didn't come through too much. ?

@Richard Thanks for reminding me to touch up my elevator pitch!

She said our personal statement will be used for the writing portion.

Now- back to the waiting game.

Ahhh! I got waitlisted #4!!!

Is anyone going to be declining their acceptance for another program?

@Bunnymummy I didn't get any notification about admission decisions. How did you find out? Don't lose hope!! Think positive!!
