I'm from NY, applied to UC Davis, SCUHS, and MBKU. Applied to a bunch more on the east coast as well! Looking forward to hearing back from them. I haven't received any email from them though regarding my application even being received. Have you gotten anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAhope20 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hi everyone! Just getting ready to submit my application to Samuel Merritt University. One of the supplemental questions asks for their core values. I have looked everywhere on their web-site for that information, but have not been able to find them. Can someone guide me in the right direction? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the first link, but if you are still having troubles they are listed as: Interpersonal/Interprofessional Communication Teamwork Critical Thinking Patient Interaction/Professional Exposure Responsibility Patient Contact Technical Skill Medical Knowledge Best of luck!

Smitah13 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Does anyone know the GRE code? I can't find one for their PA program, and I can't find any instructions on their website. I emailed them and never heard back. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBronisGOAT Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) I applied last year and was just browsing the thread from last year. Someone brought up the point that Samuel Merritt was recently placed on probationary accreditation. Not sure if this changes anyone's mind, but just wanted to let people who are applying know Edited July 23, 2019 by LeBronisGOAT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lholloway14 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I just received an email today stating that they are on probationary status. Did not really say anything further in regards to reviewing applications or anything. I know they at least received the application! I am curious as to the reason for probationary status.

They are still accredited, just on probation for data/wording/communication methods represented on the site. As for the Fresno’s campus it’s off the table until they are back to continued accreditation. The students who were accepted to Fresno (25) will have a lottery system for openings in Oakland. And those who aren’t selected for the lottery will be honored their acceptance to defer in 2020 with students who will be accepted from this cycle . As for how many Fresno students will take up the 44 seats in Oakland they did not give us a number. But it does lessen the chances of one of us being admitted for this cycle. I don’t believe they mentioned how many seats are vacant for Oakland and I am unsure about the waitlisted students who gets ultimately first preference for September 2019 start. They addressed the low PANCE scores due to students being rushed by employers to be certified, not adequately preparing, new test/pass criteria. 2 students were off my 1-2 points and would have ultimately passed the old pance but the new test as a cutoff score of 350.

FlashyCalligrapher Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Did any one notice that they changed the admission requirements on their website? It has been in the past month that I have noticed this. Is this now pertinent to this years application cycle? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t receive my confirmation e-mail from SMU until 8/8/18 after submitting my app May 31. I didn’t receive an interview invitation until December 27th where I was able to choose between the three interview dates that were offered on Jan 19, 26, and Feb 2. I interviewed Jan 19 and was sent my acceptance Feb 21. I know waiting is dreadful but SMU does things a lot later than other schools so just try and have some patience! Good luck guys! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the arc-pa.org site: - I tried emailing/calling to get more information about seat availability at the main campus given that some of the previously accepted Fresno students will be incorporated into the upcoming class (max class size reduced to 38). No replies to emails, and no one picks up the phone. Does anyone have any additional info? The radio silence is not inspiring much confidence..

xtian Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Just to clarify, for the "Re-applicant" section of Samuel Merritt's CASPA application do they mean re-applicant for CASPA or their program specifically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
