Samuel Merritt no longer conducts interviews. Their interview questions are in the "questions" section on PTCAS.Did you already have an interview to Samuel Merritt!?
I also just got an interview to UCSF! I will be flying in from out of state and curious where everyone will be staying and if anyone would like to meet up before the interview! Best of luck to everyone!!
Also, for the people who have heard from SMU, was it for an interview? I also applied and have not heard anything yet.
Yes, same issue with University of Colorado and Fresno State interview dates conflicting. However, since I also received an interview for Regis University I am choosing to attend both CO school interviews and forfeit my Fresno State interview. University of Colorado is my #1I also received an interview invite to UCSF!! But I received one for University of Colorado for the either the 26th or 27th as well and they are both top choices for me.. is anyone else running into the same problem??? :/
That absolutely makes sense! I also received an interview invite from Regis so I've been trying to see how I can do all of them :/ or at least UCSF and CU since they have been my top choices for a very long time. Super tough and stressful that they are all during the same time.. Also, congrats!! That's super exciting.Yes, same issue with University of Colorado and Fresno State interview dates conflicting.

Definitely email Lauren, she helped me out with selecting an interview date that will allow me to interview at both Regis and CU. She said since I emailed her with concerns so early in the process that she can grant my request.That absolutely makes sense!

Me too!!!!Just got an interview invitation at Western University of Health Sciences!
Me too!!!!
I received an interview invite for UCSF as well! Did anyone receive some sort of RSVP confirmation after you confirmed your attendance through the link?
I applied to SMU also and havent heard anything yet.Has anyone heard from Samuel Merritt at all this week? It seems like everyone heard last week. I’m thinking they may be done, but am wondering about waitlists (and secretly hoping for a second round of admissions).

To anyone who submitted the Cal State Apply application, did you have to fill out every section of the application?
It's very similar to PTCAS and that was a time consuming application so it would be nice not to have to go through that again. It also looks like we have to write a different statement of purpose since the prompt is not about professionalism.
It depends on which schools you applied to that are using the Cal State Apply application. If you can verify which schools you are filling it out for I can probably answer your question, as I completed it for multiple schools.

Hey, keep your head up and be positive. From what I have gathered from scrolling through the forum, CSULB do accept from the high-tier waitlist. I'm not sure how exactly how many. So hope is not lost! Anyways have you heard back from Chapman?I just got an email that I was put on the wait list high tier for CSULB. I'm really bummed out. Does anyone know about how many people they go through on their wait list?
Thanks! I got an email about a week ago saying that the Summer and fall application are still under consideration, but they haven't made their final decision. I think they sent out acceptance for the summer already. Have you heard back from any schools?Hey, keep your head up and be positive.

Don’t worry! You still have a chance. Just stay positive. And the number of waitlist positions varies each cycle. If it’s not too much, would you mind sharing your stats?
Thanks for the positive reinforcement!

Do you know when their deadline for accepting the offer is?That is weird. I know someone who just got in and he has lower stats than you.

January 29
I'm pretty sure they give 2 weeks to get a response for everyone. At least that's what I have seen.Does that apply to people who are "accepted" as well, not just for waitlist?

Don't freak out! Just wait it out and keep positive. I'm sure you'll hear something good soon!Gosh everyone is hearing back and I haven’t received anything. It’s freaking me out now and the people who got accepted have to the 29th to decide.

I picked UCSF/SFSU over Fresno, it’s higher on my list of schools so it wasn’t hard to choose between.I was also placed on the waitlist for CSULB.
For those who were offered interviews at both Fresno and UCSF/SFSU, did you figure out if you're going to try to go to both or if you picked one over the other??
Did you email Ashley saying that you won't be able to make it to the Fresno interview?I picked UCSF/SFSU over Fresno, it’s higher on my list of schools so it wasn’t hard to choose between.
I was placed on CSULB's waitlist as well. Also, I emailed Ashley notifying her that I will no longer be attending the interview because of an interview at CU Denver. She finally got back to me today.I was also placed on the waitlist for CSULB.
