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!

Yes, I received an interview invited yesterday. I was also waitlisted when I interviewed for Sac.

Which day are you scheduled for the interview? Monday, Tuesday or Thursday?

Congratulations for those got accepted to CM, can you please share us (FNP interviewees) how the interview was and what questions were asked?

Thank you.

Overall the interview was pretty casual and conversational. Ours were 1 on 1. She did refer to a few things from my essays so be ready to elaborate! I was asked specifically about what case management is to me and how I am prepared for graduate level course work. Good luck!

Thank you for sharing your experience! 

I don't know but I assume that our interviews will look very different. Ours are not 1:1, rather group interviews. We have also a lot more people interviewing for the same amount of slots. And I do not think that they will recycle questions either. CM is really different from FNP. There are so many interesting things they can ask us ? 

I know all the FNPs are nervous but let's just trust the process. Otherwise, we might start focusing on areas that won't show up.

Good luck to everyone. Looking forward on meeting some of you next week.
