Municahh

So everyone knows and stops freaking out, I applied in late May last year and didn't get the confirmation letter until December.

I can't say what I would have thought of the Seattle program since I didn't interview there, but everyone I met in Tacoma was great. The faculty were friendly and very personable, and the other candidates as well as current students were hard working and fun. The experiences everyone had were similar to my own and I did find a lot of them to also be in their late 20s and early 30s. The faculty were great, and I did genuinely like Tacoma quite a lot. Close enough to still go to Seattle for a weekend day but return to the more homey and slower paced Tacoma. It was not an easy decision to turn it down, and I highly recommend their program.

I don't think it would put you at a disadvantage. If you like Tacoma more, put that as your first pick. Last round I put Seattle as my first choice and Tacoma as my second and ended up getting in to Tacoma. They did say that they'll choose you for which program they think you would be better in and mesh with more based on your application.

Hey all, It took a lot of consideration, but I am declining my seat for Tacoma Class 8. This means one spot will be opening up so to everyone still waiting to hear back - keep answering those calls from unknown phone numbers and good luck!

It has! It's called Samuel Merritt University PA Class of 2022.

I declined my interview for 2/5 since I got accepted at my top choice, hoping this opens it up to someone else! Good luck!

I got my acceptance call yesterday! Mine came in as "Private Number".

For this year I believe 2/1 is the last interview date. They had 3 dates on consecutive weekends.

Thank you for that update! I was also able to sign up for 1/25

3.34 cGPA 3.6 sGPA ~3600 PCE hours as an EMT Second year applicant from California! Your application and essays are what get you an interview, but the interview itself is what gets you in the program - not the application!

Hey everyone! I got here early, so when anyone gets here I have blond hair and am wearing a red and gold gryffindor scarf. AlSO 3uilt is just the food service inside of 7 Stills Brewery, dont make the same mistake as me of going around the building a few times looking for it haha

How would everyone feel about meeting at 3uilt if the pizza place is too small? It's near the school, and it looks like there's a lot of room inside to both sit and stand so we wouldn't need to worry about headcount. Looks like a brewery with a food menu.

For those on the wait list who have already filled out FAFSA, did you include your parent's financial info? It's obviously not required as a graduate student but are there any pros to doing so?

I'm coming for the 12/7 interview from San Francisco and would love to meet up with everyone the night before as well

They did a web conference to address their probationary status a couple months ago - they said that the specifics that put them on probation were citations for clinical year objectives and ARC-PA not being happy with the transparency of the admission process and with some of the data provided in their program goals (which SM said is easy to address). SM also said that they started working on revisions in January and aren't worried about re-accreditation. On the call they stated that the issues that put them on probation were all administrative and back of house and would not effect the student experience while they work on improving it.
