UA MEPN 2017

U.S.A. Arizona

Published

It's never too early to start talking! I'll be applying this fall for the 2017 cohort. Who else is applying? Are there any current or recent alumni that can give their insight on the program? What will the interview questions be like?

Do they start calling after the acceptance/decline deadline ?

Based on last year, if you are waitlisted -- you have an excellent chance of getting in. I was on the waitlist literally for about 1 day and then got picked up for Tucson. I know quite a few people that started on the waitlist. Lots of people apply to multiple schools, as soon as they send in the declination -- they'll pick off the list. They won't tell you anything about where you are on it; so don't bother asking! They will call you directly to let you know -- so make sure you have your phone ready!! I assume that if you don't answer - they'll send an email. Just be ready to go and prepare like you're accepted and then when you get picked up you won't be stressing over last minute items. I would just hold off on things that cost money (like uniforms).

Good luck!

Do they start calling after the acceptance/decline deadline ?

They will call as soon as somebody sends in a declination; they don't wait for the deadline. I got called a day or two after the acceptance emails went out. But I know of people who got accepted just a day or two before we started class. So, just prepare like you're going to be in (as much as you can).

Has anyone been officially accepted yet? I turned in my transcripts and admission acceptance and I guess I'm just waiting on the grad college acceptance? Or I wonder if we have to wait for the first deadline to pass?

Does anyone know where to apply for loans that help cover living?!

When you apply for FAFSA and U of A gets back to you, you'll be awarded about 40k in federal subsidized/unsubsidized loans. Make sure you apply for FAFSA for not only 2017-2018, but 2016-2017 as well. Half of the funds from the 40k come from 2016-2017. After that, you can request a grad plus loan from the school that will cover all additional costs of living. Let me know if you have any questions about it. I've looked into it a lot. You can always go the private route, but the interest rates are a lot higher.

Has anyone from the alternate list been contacted yet?

Nope :arghh:

Anyone else still waiting for their AZ DPS fingerprint card? I am afraid it will not be ready by May 15th. Congrats to all new students! See you all in Tucson!

Hey desertturtle56! You are not the first person I have heard that from. For sure a new program has to work out problems. I'm looking at ASU, UIU, NAU or GCU too for nursing. Can another alumni give their positive or negative experience?

hey!

im trying to get to mepn program for 2018

i have some questions

my prerequisites gpa is about 3.8 but my overall gpa is low (3.01)

i havent take my hesi test yet

do you think i will have a chance to get in the program if my hesi be high?

I think you're going to have a hard time with your GPA, even if you score really high on the HESI. Most of the people in our cohort had at least a 3.4, plus a really great prerequisite gpa, and HESI scores in the 90s. Applications aren't due until January. Maybe take some more classes to pad your gpa.
