Samuel Merritt PT

[greenwoodwa]

Has anyone back heard from Samuel Merritt yet? I interviewed with them a week ago and still haven't heard back so I'm worried that means I didn't get in.

I don't know of anyone who has heard from Samuel Merritt yet. I haven't either.

 

[PTNYsfbay]

I have not heard either. Honestly, I think that the new interview process has also made it difficult for them to collaborate and choose candidates as much as it was difficult for the interviewees

 

[PT5]

Also still waiting...

 

[Kepania]

Still waiting too... Good to know I'm not the only one. I was starting to get nervous. Actually....still a little nervous.

Good luck everyone as they wait for acceptances, do you all mind sharing your stats for this cycle that at least got you to an interview/accepted? I am applying this upcoming cycle with Samuel Merritt as my number 1 and want to be competitive! Thanks, much appreciated!

These are my less-than-stellar stats that got me an interview at SMU. Note: I got my BS degree over ten years ago, and graduated with a 2.9. My GPA is slowly improving as I am taking my last remaining pre-reqs, but it's still pretty weak >😛

They might have taken into consideration my record over the last 10 years...I do have 156 credit hours of post-bacc courses (including a couple pre-reqs) with a 4.0.

Undergrad: University of California, Santa Barbara
Major: Biology, B.S.
Overall GPA: 3.16

Observation/Volunteer Hours: 70 hours in post-acute rehab/skilled nursing facility

Yes, I really did get an interview with those terrible GPAs!

Good luck!

Hey well it got you an interview at least so you have done some thing right! Congrats on getting an interview and good luck getting in with the rest of your apps! I am keeping my fingers crossed as I prepare to apply this upcoming cycle!

 

[Kepania]

Thanks! Btw it seems that community service is pretty important to them too, even though it's not 'required'. (I have not done any unfortunately). I would suggest getting involved in some way. Also, I wish I had more volunteer hours, and in different settings. You should definitely try to get well over the minimum 40 hours. I know you can get in without that, but it certainly helps! Good luck with the process! It seems like a really great program. If I don't get in, I'm reapplying there next year for sure!

My last name starts with B - so they must be going down the list. Thanks so much - my grades aren't the most impressive, but I did a ton of clinical hours and had a lot to talk about in interviews.
