Sorry if this has question has already been asked, but does anyone know how many people are typically accepted into the program?

when I went to the open house a while back, I believe they said the cohort size is 40.

Good luck to everyone who interviewed! Waiting to hear back is so hard, but excited to hear back in a couple weeks!? Did anyone find out if they only accept 40 into the cohort? I heard around 110 people interviewed.

Yes, I confirmed with faculty at the end of the interviews. 40 people.

Hopefully before then! ? I was hoping by the second week! But I think for sure by the 17th since they said middle of March.

How are you all feeling? Is USD your first choice, only choice, back up choice? I feel like by now, other schools have sent their acceptances. Just some conversation ideas while we wait LOL

USD is definitely my first choice, I loved the interview day and the faculty was so warm and welcoming. I know they only accept 40 into a cohort so that makes me very nervous ? I applied to UCLA and was rejected, still waiting to hear back from one more ABSN program but USD is by far my #1 choice! How about you?

USD is my first choice as well. I hope to hear positive news soon. 40/120. It's rough.

Does anyone know if the acceptances will come via mail or email? I know that in the past they have sent physical letters, I wasn't sure if they are still doing that.

I'm thinking they will send out emails for acceptance/rejection letters. The reason being is because all other communication I.e. interview invitations, headshot requests, and interview day instructions, were sent via email, not snail mail.

I know in previous years the acceptance and waitlist letters came physically in the mail before email...not sure if they are still doing that but I am still checking my mailbox everyday ?
