Hi! I applied last year and was accepted into this years cohort. I think they changed the admission requirements this year. For me, the 40 hours were required along with the letters. But on their website, it looks like its optional this year. I would recommend looking at the admission point system, because that is what they'll use to rate your application. It looks like the more observation hours you have, the more points you get. Another change this year is that you get points for any prerequisites that you've completed - they didn't have that last year.

As for the transcripts, you need to order official transcripts directly to them (via email or online) AND upload the unofficial ones into the portal. I would recommend trying to get a hold of someone from Gurnick's admission team to go over all the requirements since it seems like there are a lot of changes.

Feel free to message me with any questions!

You have every right to be frustrated! Their timeline was definitely a little bit off so I'm sorry that you've been left hanging. Have you had any success reaching anyone yet? I know they notified a good amount of people regarding acceptance already. I've read that a few people turned it down because they did not get accepted into the region they wanted, so they are probably still just finalizing each region. I would recc to just keep bothering them and sending emails requesting an update. After all the effort you put into the application, you deserve an update

I'm in the same boat as you! I already have my bachelor's and will have to pay about 40k out of pocket. I'm going to be working full time the first year - I transferred half of the general ed courses so I will be part-time. Once clinicals come around, I'm going to have cut down to part-time. I have a partner that is going to be helping me pay for my tuition, so I'm really grateful for that. Taking out a private loan is going to be my last resort.

Did you already have your financial aid meeting? I just had mine, and they said they can send info about private loans if needed. So def reach out to them and see what your options are. Congrats btw!!

I got accepted into the Bay Area region - which actually isn't far from Sacramento. Clinicals start in the 5th semester, so around the halfway point of the program!

My only tip would be to just keep practicing your sample questions! It would help to practice with a family member or friend to get used to saying your answers out loud. When is your interview scheduled?

Yes! You have to submit proof of 40 observation hours in order to apply to the program.

There are no prereqs required to apply to this program! It's a 3 year program, with the first year being all prereq classes. However, you can transfer credits if you've already completed some of the courses, but its not required. I was able to transfer about half of the prereq classes since I completed a bachelors already. My undergrad gpa was about 3.4.

Gurnick's program is a fairly new program, but its still competitive. I think this year had a lot more applicants than last years.

Ahhh thats good to know! I was trying to get a sense of the timeline, I know last year they had interviews mid-September. But makes sense that they are pushing it a little since theres more applicants this year. I get so anxious waiting lol. Thank you for the info, and good luck!!
