I assume the invitation is general bc as far as i know the accreditation for fresno campus is not clear yet! I said yes to fresno on my application bc it is closer to me. Anyhow, i can wait to meet u all. Good luck to the rest. There were 2 more dates available. Hang in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiddo1989 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I’ll be at the interview on the 19th as well. Good luck everyone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caligal Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I haven’t recieved anything yet. Do you guys think they will still give out interview invites after today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trusttheprocess Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I applied to both campuses and got invitation as well, unfortunately I had to decline because I got accepted into a program starting in January. Glad it will open a spot to the many deserving people out there. Beat of luck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadytoPA Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Does anyone know if they will be sending out more interview invites? Or was it just sent out last week? Most of Samuel Merritt's emails go into my spam box! So I get nervous that I erase stuff. It is the holidays next week so I am not expecting to hear much at all next week.

aaclan Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) I'm hoping its highly unlikely interview invites were extended only if you completed the survey, because I literally just discovered it in my spam folder....

NicoleJo Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 For those that got interviews, would you mind sharing stats? Or if you’re a CA resident? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slee149 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Hello everyone! I interviewed with Samuel Merritt in January of this year from the previous cycle and loved the experience. I was unfortunately waitlisted and decided to re-apply for this upcoming cycle. The faculty, class, and university was really wonderful during the interview. I was offered another interview for this cycle but will be declining as I have already been accepted to my top school. I wish you all nothing but the best and good luck! As a third time applicant, I know how difficult and stressful it can be... but persistence, resilience, and passion is key. If you really WANT to be a PA, you will definitely get there! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammar408 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Will they send any more invites out or is that it? I've been checking my email and haven't heard anything yet. Not even a decline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

California-Alameda to be exact. But If I remember correctly from orientations, preference isn’t given to residents. But someone please correct me if I’m mistaken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberino Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Received an invite on 12/20 and will be interviewing 01/19. Looking forward to meeting everyone and fingers crossed for those still waiting to hear back! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preference isn't given to CA residents, but a majority of the class is comprised of CA residents. Most likely because there are a lot of CA applicants compared to other states. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut3 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 @Blaze000311st year student here. We have a good amount of people who are residents in California BUT we also have a good amount of out-of-state people in our class too. We have people from New Mexico, Florida, Washington (2 people), Maryland, Wisconsin, Arizona and etc too. Preference is not given to California residents from my understanding. I believe one of their main focus is to have a good cohort instead of a where did they come from cohort if that makes sense. From my point of view SMU does a great job of matching personalities that will get a long and work well together as a cohort. In addition, SMU has connections all over the country for rotations if that is one of the reasons you are asking about California preference as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they said they accept applications from international students but how likely are they to interview and accept them. I am from Canada and I have applied for this cycle. Still have not heard anything from them...keeping fingers crossed. Also, if they don’t send an invitation for an interview would they send a “decline” letter? I think a lot of people here are wondering that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
