CWeeks Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I didn't receive that email. Hope that's not a bad sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbunn Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 This might be a silly question but...... what if we do not have a connection to the specific areas listed? I am relatively new to the area and haven't lived in any of those counties. Do you think we need to apply for the grant? I don't want it to look bad if I do not complete the supplemental but I also do not want to make something up... any advice?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says "if you think you would be interested" so it sounds pretty optional to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remster825 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Happy Thanksgiving week everyone. I think next week or the week after at the latest will be when we hear from SMU (if last year is any indication). Hope we can all relax and enjoy some down time before interview decisions are made! Easier said than done, huh? ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
israa.alsayyed Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I don't think it will effect your application at all. However I'm also interested in this scholarship award but don't have ties to those areas of California or Hawaii. Any suggestions? Who's applying to it and who decided not to? Thanks!

I don't think I'm going to apply because the SMU Grant FAQ email which they sent later said "Our proposal was to give those scholarships to students from specific target regions who demonstrate an interest in primary care in the target area after graduation." So it kinda sounds like it will be highly unlikely to get the scholarship without coming from/having a very close tie to one of these areas and I don't want to make stuff up that isn't true. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remster825 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I am not applying for the scholarship as I have no specific ties to the target areas. I would also prefer to do my rotations in the Bay Area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z PA-C Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Good point Remster. The thing I found strange about this whole thing though is why would they put out this scholarship application before they even start inviting people for interviews. Especially if they state that it in no way has any impact on the application process. Just seems like more work on both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristinnaaa Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I didn't plan on doing the scholarship either because I'm not familar with those areas and like aiviphung said I wouldn't want to make stuff up. I really hope to hear from samuel merritt soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWeeks Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Does anyone know if they usually email or is it a phone call?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristinnaaa Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 From last year's thread, I believe they do both. Some people got a email and some people got a phone call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkinghardtobecomeaPA Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 From the website, it states that the first round of rejections will be sent out during the first week ok December. Also from What I heard from other people who applied, it is a good sign if you have not heard from them during the first week. Good luck to all.

Z PA-C Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 According to their website, the interview dates are January 18, 2014 (Interview #1), January 25, 2014 (Interview #2) and February 1, 2014 (Interview #3). I'm guessing they will start contacting people 3-4 weeks prior? Hopefully we hear something soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shonabty Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Did everyone got an email about the scholarship? I haven't received anything.. Are you from CA?
