Curious if anyone has heard anything? I believe it's technically late August. Anyone get a decision or have an update?

@elegantcheese did you do your interview already?

@BlessNgo My interview was August 15th. I'm surprised I heard back so fast! She told me late September. Did you have your interview yet?

BlessNgo · Aug 28, 2019

@kelly.urban17 Mine is this Friday. Is there any advice you could suggest as far as the interview?

@kelly.urban17 Is your admission Provisional as well?? I'm curious if we have to take the same classes first!

@BlessNgo The interview was not at all what I expected. The woman who interviewed me was really nice, not intimidating. She asked a couple questions but ultimately wanted to see if I would be a good fit. The worst part about it was stressing about finding parking. Just get there a little early in case the parking garage is full and you have to find parking elsewhere.

@betsyyb Mine is Provisional! I'm so confused about it. I emailed Mia Ellis and asked her a couple questions.

@BlessNgo Thanks for asking. I still haven't been asked for an interview, so I'm not feeling confident that it will happen. Good luck with your interview on Friday! I've heard that they really aren't bad at all and I'm sure you'll do great.

I'd love to know what she says!

@elegantcheese I’ve seen your post from the other threads, and I love how despite everything you’ve continued to encourage others and wish them the best. Remain encouraged and don’t let whatever decision you may get from UMSON shake your belief in yourself. I wish you nothing but the best in all your endeavors and Good Luck & Thank You. ?

@betsyyb I just heard back from Mia Ellis today. Apparently there was a glitch in the system and that isn’t the correct offer letter. They are using a new application system and still trying to iron out the kinks. So anyway, your proper offer letter will be mailed to you ??

I ended up emailing her too and she sent me a pdf of my official letter and I actually accepted my offer today!! I decided I wanted the CNL specialty over anything Hopkins would offer lol

Hello all,

Wondering if anyone applied to this program after the priority deadline? I had an issue with a foreign transcript that delayed my application. Long story short it was finally resolved in mid August. Just curious if anyone in the same boat has heard back yet.

Also some of you posted about a writing sample. I'm curious, is that part of interview and if so what does it involve? This is the first I have heard of it. Cheers and good luck!

I applied before so I cant speak too much on that, but yes the writing sample is part of the interview process! After you schedule your interview they will send you a link to a website that gives you the option of like 3 different prompts and you choose which one you want to write about!
