Samuel Merritt ELMSN/FNP Fall 2013 Oakland

LindsayS · Feb 26, 2013

Congratulations Chlochlo!! That's so fantastic and I'm really happy for you. By "re-applicant" do you mean that you applied before and didn't get in? I'm wondering because I interviewed on Feb 13 and haven't heard from them, so I don't think I got in. Do you mind me asking how many times you applied and what you did to improve your application after not getting in? It's encouraging to hear that you did, eventually, get in--because I'm worried I won't ever get in somewhere. Again, congratulations!!! I'm sure you'll be a fantastic FNP!

I made a facebook group, Samuel Merritt ElMSN-FNP 2013 Oakland, join if you want! I tried the other name and I wasn't sure if it's the right one or not. Can't wait to meet everybody!!!

I am so happy for you! Congratulations! I am sure that you will enjoy the program and the journey of becoming FNP, even though it means a lot of work! If you need anything, feel free to ask! Good luck!

Hi there! I applied to the sacramento campus for spring 2013 start and got waitlisted and had my app sent down to oakland for the fall 2013 start. I changed job to a medical assistant, full-time, in a community clinic. I got trained on phlebotomy, injections, vaccines, lab tests like HIV/STREP/MONO test and so forth. This is my second time applying and I all I can say is keep keep on trying, even if it's your fourth time. And if this program isn't working maybe try another? There are many paths to a dream and I hope you find yours! I am sure your brilliant and a program will see that!!

Just got an email saying I'm on the waitlist. oh well at least I didn't get flat out rejected. I emailed K***** to see what number I am on it.

Hi alyssag24! Do you mind sharing your interview date? I interviewed on the 20th and haven't heard anything yet. Trying to figure out what their process may be.

CKCK · Feb 27, 2013

I am in the same boat - I interviewed on the 19th and am constantly checking my email for a wait list or rejection notice at this point, but have not received anything. I think their notification process is hard to predict.

Got the email that I'm wait-listed... :/ Kinda had a feeling that would be what happened, but I'm still disappointed.

Hiya folks! I've been lurking the forums for a bit but this is my first post. I'll be in the incoming class as well and I'm excited to meet y'all.

I was in the Feb 19 afternoon group and was wondering, did anyone else from that group get a call?

CynCyn26 · Feb 27, 2013

Hi tooj!! I think I joined this forum too late, not able to get anyone to respond to me haha! Anyway hello! I guess we will be classmates soon! I was in the 2/23 1pm group, heard back from the director two days later! Are u super excited?? I want to wish everyone that was wait listed super good luck I KNOW that persistence will yield good results soon!

alyssag24 · Feb 27, 2013

@nicole I interviewed this past Saturday 2/23 at 11am.

@marisa did they tell you what your waitlist number is? I emailed K***** and she emailed me back saying that it should have been on the letter but by the time I emailed her back letting her know it wasnt on there it was after 5 which I am assuming is when she leaves.

CKCK · Feb 27, 2013

Is anyone reading this forum that has received a notice of rejection at all? I have seen posts of people who got admission phone calls and waitlist emails, but nothing about rejection emails yet. I have heard nothing so I'm super curious about all of this!

I am going to join the fb group too if you guys don't mind! Have you guys gotten the official acceptance letter yet? I don't know if anyone remember me haha I was in the 2/23 1pm group, and then I am the Chinese girl that came in last =D[/quote']
I got my official acceptance email from the office of admissions this afternoon. My letter of intent and deposit is due by 3/8. Did you get your email & letter also?
