Samuel Merritt ELMSN Sacramento 2011

Published

Hey everyone- I thought it was time to start a new thread for the up and coming applicant pool for the ELMSN Sacramento cohort 2011. Five months until applications are due and it doesn't hurt to start communicating with one another already. I met with the admissions counselor last week and she gave me many pointers on how to strengthen my application. Can't wait to hear from some others out there who will be in it with me for the remainder of the year hoping to get into SMU.

Thanx everyone! I'm feeling better already. And yes, I check my phone at least 20x an hour to make sure the ringer is up :)

I dreamt last night that I received a letter from smu, but it was just a carbon copy of my interview schedule. Weird! I'm gonna lose it by Friday. Lol The suspense is killing me!

I've been having dreams about it pretty much every night! I'm getting even more anxious as it gets closer to Friday. Has anyone heard anything yet?

No but if and when I do I will let you all know.

OK,

Calls are going out.

I received a call this afternoon and I am accepted for the CM program.

I am very relieved that I am accepted to this program. But I am still waiting for the status from the FNP program.

Congratulations!! You must be so relieved!! Did she say if it was early admittance, or anything about when FNP decisions will be made?

CONGRATS!!!!!!!! and I'm sure well deserved!

Thanks.

She did not mention anything about the early admission during the call. But since my CM interview was just yesterday, it probably is an early admission. I know that they have another CM interview scheduled date next week. So, CM interviews are not yet over until next week.

I asked her about the FNP status and she told me that she doesn't know the results yet.

She also told me that I can make the deposit for CM now and the deposit can be transferred to FNP later. I will be making the deposit to CM as soon as I receive the intruction.

More of us will be receiving calls this week.

Congratulations!!! I'm sure you'll be hearing about FNP soon, too. Just curious - do you know how applicants there were for the CM program? And did you keep your personal statement fairly generic to accommodate both programs?

Thanks.

They had 21 individual sessions scheduled each for 8/31 and for 9/7.

There were 3 seperate one hour interviews for every hour between 9am and 5pm.

So, there should be about 42 applicants who are interviewed (21 applicants x 2 days).

They have 20 CM openings.

More of us will get a call this week. ;-)

And yeah,

My personal statement was genetic and not program specific.

Wow, that sounds grueling for both sides of the interview. Well, congratulations again. It seems like you are probably a strong candidate to get accepted into FNP as well. Hopefully I will be meeting you in class, no matter which program you opt for.
