Not yet

Okay, thanks for sharing. It looks like last cycle they were getting back to admitted people really quick and within 1-2 weeks. Not sure if that applies to early admission applications this cycle though.

What day did you interview if you don't mind me asking?

I haven't heard back yet either. I interviewed on the 13th

Hello Everyone, I interviewed on the 12th and I have still not heard back. I was told we would be notified by August 1st. Has anyone heard anything?

Nope haven't heard back either. Not to be negative, but not looking good. Usually, the specific school reaches out for acceptances. And the general grad school admissions for the university send out rejections, which take longer. Also, just FYI - I'm not sure if this is how UOP operates but it's a pattern I have seen elsewhere.

Honestly I don’t think they have gotten back to anyone yet, so we might be okay! Just out of curiosity how did you do on the prerequisites and overall GPA? 

[Nurseofthefuture]

Hi Arlo, thanks for sharing! Also, apologies, but I will not be sharing my stats. A fundamental value I have is that each person is more than a GPA, and it is important to assess each person holistically and what they individually bring to the cohort, patient care, and the nursing field as a whole. I will share that I did complete a bachelor's in a totally different discipline years ago, have healthcare and research experience, and have taken all science prerequisites for the first time thereafter, receiving grades with an upper GPA average.

No worries I completely understand. Thank you for your response! Do you think you we should give them a call tomorrow?

Possibly? I am unsure if anyone has heard back. Maybe we should give a few days grace period. I’m my interview the administrator mentioned that we would hear back by today regardless of the decision… maybe I heard wrong.
