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 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.
Your advice is spot on. I reached out to a friend who recently graduated from the program in a Oakland last year and she told me pretty much what you’re telling us here and to be myself. Good luck ? to us all who are interviewing next week thru 3/22 and thinking about everyone who has yet to hear back yet.
We got this guys ❤️

Yeah I think it would be different! Mine was with a professor specific to the case management track. My questions were pretty personalized and she had my essay and resume in front of her.

When was your CM interview and when did you find out that you got accepted? Im interviewing for CM on March 16th with Dr. Fusae Abbott! Were the questions pretty general?
For those who are interviewing this week: have you gotten a link for the interview yet? I have mine tomorrow and am wondering if I should email them for the link or if they will send it maybe later today. Thanks!

My interview was on Tuesday and I heard back on Saturday. It was general with the typical tell me about yourself and what is case management to you questions. The rest were more personalized and asked for elaboration on interesting parts from my essays! Good luck!

I interview today and actually haven't even received my link yet.. I emailed them and they gave me a very general response and said they will send it before my interview slot. Has anyone that is scheduled for today received their link yet?
hey everyone, I also received an admission email on Saturday for Case Management. I was stunned! I interviewed just a few days prior. Congratulations to everyone who has been admitted so far, and for the FNP folks- thinking of you as you interview this week.
I'm wondering if anyone has any objection to a facebook group that is for both FNP and CM students? Since we'll be doing the whole first year together, it may be super useful for us to get to know each other and create study groups and support each other.
I'll wait til the end of today, and then make it and post link here ? Can't wait to meet you all!
For those that got accepted for CM, did you all interview on Tuesday? I interviewed on Thursday and haven't received an email yet.
I had my interview Tuesday, but my LORs didn't go through. I had to resend them and they were received Thursday. I haven't heard anything back yet. The waiting is killing me!
