Samuel Merritt DPT 2022-2023

[caldpt2022]

Hi! I just wanted to start a thread for those who have applied to Samuel Merritt’s DPT program this cycle. Samuel Merritt’s website said we should be hearing back in December.

We can exchange info on if anyone has heard back or their number on the waitlist.

Good luck to everyone!

I got an email around thanksgiving saying that they've finished doing a preliminary review of the applications, so i'm guessing they've started reviewing them, but I haven't heard anything since then. I'm really hoping they send out decisions soon.

 

[caldpt2022]

I’m thinking they will send out decisions after their last Q&A session on Dec 22nd?

The last communication I received was an email asking to confirm if I’ve attended an info session with them.

 

[allin135]

yea I also got that email! do you know how they send their decisions out?

In the past, it seems that they call people. But that may change because if they followed previous trends, they would've sent out decisions last week.

 

[caldpt2022]

I’m assuming they will be sending out decisions after their last Q&A session on the 22nd since their other events are financial aid related.

Not yet

Did anyone attend the last Q&A session because I have been waiting for it but no one is there.

I tried joining too, after 20 mins of waiting I exited out.

I also got an email at the end of November that they reviewed my application, but no admission decision yet.

I don’t know if it finally worked because I waited for more than 45 mins.

Hey, has anyone heard anything?

 

[bayareafuturedpt]

Hey, has anyone heard anything?

I haven’t yet. I’ve been looking around at SMU’s tagged pictures on instagram and trying to see if anyone’s posting if they got in lol. Maybe someone got sick and it pushed back the decisions process? Fingers crossed for this week

 

[student2325]

Has anyone been in contact with Kasie? She’s normally the one who got in contact with students in the past few years.

 

[caldpt2022]

I’m starting to feel more and more anxious as it gets closer to the end of the year…

 

[caldpt2022]

Hey, has anyone heard anything?

Nothing yet…

 

[bayareafuturedpt]

I’m thinking that I may email if no one hears anything by tomorrow

 

[lanastar]

Please let us know if you get back from them

I emailed them last night. Will update if they respond.

I emailed them as well. Hoping if they receive multiple emails regarding the same issue, they will address the delay in decisions.

 

[student2325]

Just received a reply to my email that admission decisions will be sent out the week of Feb 13th.

I emailed admissions at the end of December, they responded saying they have it showing DPT admission decisions will be sent out week of February 13th ( So another month of waiting

Dang they never responded to my email. A 2 month delay is pretty ridiculous, especially without letting anyone know officially

 

[lanastar]

I got the responses from Kasie and Sakiya today. They said admissions decisions for the DPT program will go out from mid-January to early February

 

[caldpt2022]

I just got a waitlist email! Did anyone else hear anything?!

 

[bayareafuturedpt]

I got my acceptance call today from a Florida number

Congrats!! Will you be attending?

I emailed to remove myself from the waitlist since I got accepted to a cheaper school.

Likely not. Had they sent out acceptances earlier, I would’ve given it more consideration. However, they delayed 2 months and didn’t communicate much. I’ll be going to SDSU instead because with living costs it’s about the same

I agree. Their lack of communication also played a factor in my decision to not to stay on the waitlist.

Best of luck in SDSU!!

I also got a waitlist email too! I wonder how much it will move.
