Samuel Merritt University ELMSN Fall 2021

Published

Hey All

I haven't yet seen a forum for this cohort yet and I wanted to start one! Applications are due soon and wanted to see how others are going along with the process and see if theres any advice or recommendations that anyone has. This could be with the application, interviews, pre-reqs, HESI, etc. I appreciate those who comment and add to the forum!

A little about me: originally from NYC moved out to Oakland in 2015. I worked in Urgent Care, and have volunteer work during Covid-19. Finishing up a few pre-reqs now and hopefully will have them done in time for the application due date Dec 1st. Let me know if there are any other questions for me, I am very interested to see the backgrounds of others who are also applying, its a stressful but exciting time for everyone! ?

P.S. if there is a forum for the Fall 2021 ELMSN program please link it! 

I’m curious whoever has access to the portal and got an email for an interview, did your application status change? 

Also congratulations to all those who got interviews!

Figured it out - had some apps that were blocking it, officially registered for March 22nd.  Does anyone know how many people they interview out of the applicant pool?

not sure, but I imagine if there are 12 seats per interview slot that would make about 96 interviewees? 

For sure, thank you! And, if anyone knows, according to the website there is 54 accepted applicants on average for 2020, is that per application or for the entire year? Trying to work out the math

I thought they have about 24 slots per cohort per semester (I might be off +/-2)

ahahaha! tell me why Im also on that same page trying to figure out the same thing!! I do think its for the entire 2020? It doesn't specify Sac or Oakland, maybe both Spring and Fall?

Does anyone know if these virtual interviews are group interviews?

For FNP I believe so. There were only 8 links in the email, and when you sign up, it mentions that there is space for 12 people in the interview slot. 

I also received an interview invite! ? Best of luck to all of us ❤️ I'm so nervous hahaha

I haven't received an email yet should I just assume I got rejected haha ?

@Nadia Siddiqui - I would not assume that at all! In the past these emails always come in waves or over a few days. Do not do not do not be discouraged we still have the rest of the month to go. ??
