SHSU Fall 2017 hopefuls

[kaybaker123]

Hey guys! I wanted to start a thread for the people applying for the fall program at Sam Houston. The application period is getting close to opening and I am personally getting really nervous

[Winstongirl]

Nothing for me either.

If I don't get anything by 4 tomorrow I'm gonna call again

[Winstongirl]

I wonder how late the emails go out each day

[Hopingforthebest1]

The email I received said I have until June 9th @ @ 5pm to accept my invitiation into the program. Maybe they are waiting to see how many spots they will have left open depending on how many from the first wave of emails accept the invitation or deny it.

That's so disappointing like what if everyone accepts the position. That means the rest of us will be denied or put as alternative in this case not a chance of getting in. And if you have till Friday 5:00pm to accept or deny that means will get to hear from them next week starting on Tuesday. Dang!!! I'm already tired of Sam. I'm not hopeful anymore and it's definitely a long wait compared to other schools. I've been checking my email every other time and there's nothing and also my status says pending review.

I wish this process was faster.

I think their process is not so bad... Im applying to UTMB to start in the spring and my deadline was May 31 and I havent heard a thing. I believe we start hearing back in a like another month or two. I did not end up applying to sam to start in the fall since my micro professor did not upload my grade in time, but I will be submitting my app for the spring on July 1st.

Don't lose hope! You have come this far not to just give up. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting.

My acceptance email also said I had until June 9th 5pm to reply. So everyone should be hearing something very soon! Their app process isn't nearly as bad as others.. I waited over 16 WKS past the deadline just to get a denial from UTMB.. So Don't lose hope!!!

Incase you're wondering - my app status still says pending review even after they sent my email.

goodluck everyone!

How early do they start sending these emails out?

[BPerry.]

I feel like everyone was saying around 4 but they need to chop chop lol

[mcs22]

I'm guessing they will get the answers from the people who were accepted in the first round and then send out the next.

[BPerry.]

But they don't have to reply until 5pm and mrs Colvin said the last of the letters are supposed to go out today.

[mcs22]

I highly doubt they would send out deline letters this soon. I have a lot of friends and family in academics (of course, none in nursing) and its rare that decline letters go out at the same time, as people turn down spots in programs and stuff like that. They want to ensure they have a full program before they do that. I have no idea if that is how this program works, i just know it's how it is with many.
