I think you'll definitely get accepted! Don't stress, stay positive and focus on getting amazing essays written! Your GPA is better than mine and I was able to get accepted first time applying to this program. You got this!

Thank you! I just submitted it today at the last minute! btw, how long have you wait after the application deadline? It seems to take 2-3 months after ddl.

Update: I was rejected from the program. I emailed the admission counselor and he was able to tell me himself. I have yet to receive an official rejection letter from the university. So if you didn't hear back yet maybe reach out? Congratulations to everyone accepted I'll be applying again for Fall 2025!

I was also rejected from the program as of today. I was wondering if you talked to an admissions counselor? Did they tell you why you were not admitted?

Hi! I'm sorry to hear that, and I can completely understand how you feel now. I was rejected by ELMSN earlier, and I didn't ask the admission counselor reasons. I asked the admission counselor, they didn't give an exact reason, just a general answer and ask me to keep applying. Can I know your GPA and how is your background healthcare?

Hi all,

How have you all gone about reaching out to admission counselors? I have a couple questions about submitting AP scores/transcripts for current classes but I am not sure who to reach out to. I am admitted to the Oakland campus. Any guidance? Thank you!

They extended the deadline for the Summer cohort I think like three times so they might do the same for the next programs.

OMG congratulations! I'm wondering if they will notify those on the waitlist of the position they're at if it's moving along. Once again, congrats!

Thank you!! I would hope they notify after this latest movement. I had just emailed them yesterday about it but hadn't heard back.
