I was looking at discussions made for the previous application cycles and it looks like some people heard by mid August to mid September if they were invited for an interview.  Not sure if it will be the same timeline for us though.

Did you apply to any other programs? Do you know if this UOP ELMSN is overall pretty competitive ?

I heard that it is pretty competitive. I applied to Samuel Merritt so far. I am planning to apply to more schools but it seems like most schools don't open up their applications until August.

Oh no way, so did I....but for the ABSN. I'm still finishing some of the prerequisites, I'm hoping the schools that are opening in August are also starting Spring, not next August. Do you know of any programs that are going to begin their application cycles August that will begin in January 2026? For ABSN programs?

I heard back from UOP last year in September for the interview and in October for the decision. Please keep in mind that your interviews are in-person (starting this Spring), not online (for me) anymore.

Hi Everyone,

Looks like the y just extended the application submission date to September 1st. Wonder if that's a good or bad sign? I have my interview coming up on Aug.22nd hoping for the best 🤞

Oh I just seen that they extended it. When did you hear back for an interview date and when did you submit your application?

I submitted it on August 1st and received an email on the 11th. I'm still waiting on one more letter of recommendation too.
