Hi all

They do send a email to let you know they received your application I believe January some sooner . But last week they emailed me to set up a time to interview for ELMSN CM I didn't know I could apply for FNP only had ABSN which I applied for as well and got an email but I know ABSN is most popular program at SMU but well wishes to all that did apply to SMU.

You can apply to all programs. I applied to CM, FNP and ABSN. I only received an interview for the CM program. I haven't heard anything from FNP so I am assuming I was not amongst the chosen applicants. CM is my first choice so just glad I was offered the interview.

Did you already set up your interview? If you don't mind me asking did you send your application in before the deadline? Cause I just got an email 2 weeks ago that they have completed the preliminary review for my application?

I sent my application sometime in November and got the preliminary review email December 11, 2024. They emailed me last week to set up an interview and gave me two dates to choose from for this week. I haven't heard back with a confirmation of date and time yet.

Did anyone else apply on around the application deadline and still waiting to hear back about an interview by any chance? I applied to the FNP track.

I did! I still haven't heard anything about getting a preliminary review since applying. The only correspondence I got was that they received my application. I emailed admissions the other day to follow up but I haven't heard back yet 😕

Maybe the only do few groups at a time? I read they do group interviews for FNP and one on one for CM
