humble Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I interviewed on Feb 4. Its already end of Feb, I did not receive any call. I think from march its only rejection letter I guess. I really had high hopes with this program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shrub Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I interviewed on Feb 4. Its already end of Feb, I did not receive any call. I think from march its only rejection letter I guess. I really had high hopes with this program. You're not out of it yet! They were still calling people with offers from the first interview date just yesterday. Also there's a long waitlist from which a number of people are drawn. They probably won't tell everyone about their standing on the waitlist until March 1st. Stay positive :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAmike91 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 On the waitlist... #22 Was hoping for a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexar Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 After reading the threads from prior years it looks like the person who was initially #15 on the wait list got accepted right before the program started last September and the year before that they took 13 people. I know these forums aren't always trustworthy but if those numbers are accurate that might give us a good idea as to how much movement they usually have on the wait list. Good luck to everyone!

humble Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 #60 plus in the waitlist. No way I can make it. Its like a rejection letter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLicci Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hey all, Don't feel bad about not getting in or being in an unimpressive waitlist spot. You have to understand how awesome you truly are to have earned even an interview spot. You guys were in the top 5% of applicants and that is something to be proud of. Remember that this is a long and often difficult journey and that one rejection does not define you or your capabilities. Have faith in your abilities and realize that you can do anything through hard work, dedication, and motivation! For those of you who did receive an acceptance, please join us on Facebook: Samuel Merritt University PA Class of 2019. -Meghan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cprop16 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I'm a little unsure why there are so many spots on the waitlist for a program of 44 seats but I'm sure there's a reason. I will be removing my name from the waitlist. I did not have a good spot so I'm not sure if this will help anyone. I did get into a another program and would like to say never give up! Have faith in God and yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have faith in God and yourself. Interestingly enough there are some programs that fully exhaust their waitlist trying to fill an upcoming class. For example, Pacific University's 2016 class had a waitlist 70 students deep, and they went through the whole thing. By having a long waitlist, they are prepared for anything that could happen no matter how unlikely. Nonetheless, congrats on making it into a program!

Dee L. Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hi everyone, Congratulations to everyone who got accepted! I was wondering if anybody knew how they arrange their waitlist. I applied last year and got wait-listed number 80 and I interviewed this year and was also placed on the waitlist at number 80. I spoke with someone last year on how I can improve my application and interview and I felt that I strengthened myself this year. Any advice would be great!

hungrybee Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hey everyone! Congrats to everyone who interviewed and those who have already been accepted. For those of us on the wait list (I'm at 8), I was stalking the past couple admission year forums and noted that last year the number 12 wait listed spot was offered admissions in July and what I assume as the last accepted wait list candidate who was originally number 15 on the list stated he was offered admission just before the program started in September. Obviously, this will vary each year for each individual in a program seat as well as those on the list ahead of us but it helps give me a teeeeeny tiny amount of peace of mind to note that the wait list shifted up 12 spots by mid summer. Would you all be up for updating your "line numbers" as we get updates in the coming months? I think this would be helpful for us to see where positions are withdrawn and maybe help future classes track :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
