That is awesome to hear! They are honestly my first choice because of the residency and the tuition (behind Hopkins but not sure if I'll get in there lol). Also I would agree they have been great about communication so far, I am very excited for my interview! But damn that sucks to hear about SLU... I agree though that it definitely says a lot about a school, thanks for letting me know that. If you have any specific tips for the Xavier interview that'd be great since it will be my first one

Thank you so much for the interview advice, I appreciate it! I will definitely prepare with those questions in mind. Also if OSU is Ohio State, I am applying there as well, I just forgot to put it in my original post!
Thank you! Application was ready for review on 11/30 and interviewed on 1/2.
CONGRATS! How did they notify you and when did you apply? Still waiting for a decision
I applied around mid-December and heard back from them earlier this month. I don't think interviews are done for their school, I didn't have to do one before they accepted me. Have you tried reaching out to Joyce Elam? She's an academic advisor for the program I believe.
MHA?
MHA?
Thank you! I believe I applied 11/30! I got an email from them.
Congrats!! Just out of curiosity, when were all of your materials verified in the portal and when was your interview?
Thank you! I believe my materials were verified on SOPHAS 12/02, but UCLA did email me 12/14 to let me know that my SOPHAS and graduate application was officially received by the department. UCLA does not do interviews hence why I believe they ask you so many essay questions about yourself when applying.
I got mine (accepted) yesterday interviewed the third week of December and applied end of October.
Congratulations!! I emailed Brandon Sieglaff, the admissions contact, and he said that they do interview a large amount of applicants for this program and that I should expect a response around the end of this month (January).
Mine was verified in about 12 hours at the end of November!
I spoke too soon because I got the notification this morning that it is verified!
Did you just hear back? Also, when did you apply?
Hey! I'm not sure how much research you've done into programs, but it helped me A LOT when it came to finding places to apply to. My grades are great except for my math/statistics courses, and I have a lot of health, STEM, and disability experience, but not much with business. I'd look into programs that have opportunities like internships or community outreach that matches with your interests, and also look at the mission statement of each program. Those statements can tell you a ton about what that program values the most in their students, allowing you to play to your strengths in relation to their priorities. I utilized the US & World News list of MHA programs to find the best programs for me. Many people recommend applying to top 15 schools based on this list, but I am looking at the top 25 because I am not a genius and honestly those programs are still very good! For example, I have an interview with Xavier on Friday and they are ranked 23rd, but are a very well respected program with a ton of great opportunities that other programs don't offer. You may just have to open up your options to schools that aren't at the top if you're having trouble getting interviews/accepted. I wish you the best of luck!! Feel free to message me if you want any more input!
I think my first post is on the first page of this thread but I have similar grades to you I think I a 3.1 or 2 and went to a state school. I also have a really similar background as well for experience and special factors. I think just really make your statement/letter of intents tailored towards schools and show why you're a good fit. Thats really what I focused on and show them why you are passionate and care about the field!! Also just try to show what special about you that they won't see in your resume.
It honestly just depends on where you are applying. I was late to the game and my SOPHAS just got verified this morning, and I turned my applications in about 2 weeks ago. There are still plenty of programs that don't have deadlines until March or even later, so I think you should fix up you statements and apply!
Heard back today and applied in November
Congratulations!! When was your interview?
Can I ask how your MUSC interview was? I have an interview coming up soon so would love advice. It is my first choice.
What were your stats if you don't mind me asking.
My stats and acceptances are on the first page
I’m waiting to hear back as well! Got my acceptance 4 weeks ago so hoping to hear back this week
