finnarak Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Would anyone who attended the webinar be willing to briefly sum up any of it on here? Was it mostly just saying that they are putting effort into regaining full accreditation? I haven't gotten any responses to my emails, regarding this or anything else for that matter.

gwacie321 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 They basically explained why they were on probation, emphasized that it had nothing to do with the curriculum or rotation placements, and that it was more of the technicalities. I ARC-PA had new and updated standards that caused a lot of schools to go into probation (in the webinar they said 1 in 5/6 schools are now on probation? I applied to Augsburg and they're going through the same thing as well). Yes, they're basically saying that they have already started addressing the issues. I also noted that they'll start sending invites in late December (I honestly don't know if that was in the webinar or I found that somewhere, i just saw that on my excel sheet haha). That's all I can really remember! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erin15 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I spoke with SMU admissions today and they said they do not send out confirmation emails. As long as our applications are verified on CASPA, we are good. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhloeRose Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 When I submitted my caspa application I choose Fresno as my primary campus. Does that mean they won't considerate me? I didn't know about Fresno closing. I wish I knew before applying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joemonkey Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 Anybody reluctant about attending this school because of probationary status? Why pay thousands of dollars to get degree from potential non-accredited school? Is there loan reimbursement by school if they lose accreditation?

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. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caduceusmedgeek Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Thanks, and there is any supplement application or extra fee I should pay? The supplemental questions are part of the CASPA application, but there is no separate application dedicated to Samuel Merritt. There is no fee other than the CASPA fee!

I think that is the big misunderstanding about probationary period and even if you apply this round and were admitted to SMU you would be in an accredited program and can take the PANCE. Many many good schools have been on probation and SMU has been completely open about the reasons behind their probationary period. I have no doubt in my mind this is a temporary situation and they will be off probation at the next inspection. I went to an interview last cycle with a school on probation and they wouldn't tell us why they went on probation and were completely illusive to the reasons they were on probation. That was not comforting and I removed myself from their application cycle. Lucky I did because I got into SMU and really am enjoying my time at this school! Good luck everyone and hopefully see some of you during interview days. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confettifun Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Dis anyone get an interview invite? The website said that there would be 3 interview days: one in December, one in January, and one in February. But it seems like no one has heard anything from this school? Not even a “continued consideration” email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PA2B0912 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) submitted my CASPA application FIVE months ago and just got the "we've received your application!" email! I was not supper concerned by the email saying that invitation will be sent out in November . If true, to me it just meant that I am not part of the initial group of people they would like to see. Hopefully I will get my turn "to interview as space permits" lol. Edited December 5, 2019 by PA2B0912 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
