I'm so glad to have found this thread, I just figured that I was rejected and they never responded to me LOL! Maybe they are still processing applications, because I never received any other emails from them other than the confirmation that they received my application back in January.

I was expecting to hear back about interviews in mid-January since this is what the website had indicated. I am going to send an email to admissions to ask if they are still processing applications and sorting through who will get interviews. Will update! 🙂

Glad you found us! From what I gather it takes about 2-3 months from the deadline for results. But yes please do update if you hear back from admissions. Thanks! 🙂

I just received an email yesterday saying they have completed their preliminary review of my application.

When did you submit?

I also received my email about completing my preliminary review but not yesterday, I actually heard earlier in the beginning of this month. I still haven't received any additional email though. Also, I submitted close to the deadline so I'm unsure if it makes a difference.

Hi all,

I submitted later in November and received the confirmation from when I applied as well (late November) but I have not heard back about interviews or rejections.

Glad this thread is getting some more action! I'm biting my nails over here. Haven't heard a peep except to confirm my plan for completing pending pre-reqs, and letting me know that my preliminary review was complete (all one email). That was back in mid-December.

Same! I haven't received any emails about preliminary review only that my application was received when I submitted (November). Do you mind sharing which email sent you that? Thanks!

It came from "[email protected]".

The subject line was: "Application Update: Confirmation (Fall 25 ELMSN-FNP)"

I'm in the same boat as you! I haven't heard anything back other than they received my application too. My last letter of rec was submitted on the deadline day, so I'm not sure if that's contributing to not hearing back yet.
