sounds like great experience to me. instead of focusing on how much, focus on why that experience has helped you know what you want to do. good luck and don't freak out. concentrate on why you deserve to be there.
hi there, I definitely wouldn't say that your grades take you out of the running at all. I have no idea what your experience is but you should have enough experience to know what you want to do and why. Good luck. karen

Hi- I haven't been through MEPN before (I'll see you in 10 days) but I have had two kids while working full time. it's tough for sure and from what I can tell, the 1st year of the MEPN program is going to be even more demanding. Of course- if you ...

Hi Lestelle12- I'm wondering if you were at the Thursday night recruitment thing and if you interviewed on the 19th. I'm in the pediatric tract and I remember meeting someone from LA - husband or boyfriend worked at the think tank in LA. Is that yo...

5:30 or 6 sounds great- we just need a place. I figured a pub that served food would be accomodating to non-drinkers and those of us who love a beer on a Friday evening :-) I'm not sure if anyone is collecting email addresses out there, but maybe we...

I'm up for a get together soon. Lets try for April or May, that way our waitlisted pals will have a better idea if they're in (and I hope you are!!!). What do you guys think? So, what kind of spot would you be into? Bar? Park? Cafe? Restaurant? I...

dreamofbluesky and prospective z, will you guys keep us updated on your waitlist status? I would think #1 and #2 is a pretty good spot to be in. Good luck to you both.
Yep! I'm in. It was so funny, I called my husband, friends, family, but so badly wanted to come online and tell all of you guys :) We're painting our guest room so our computer was held hostage in the garage!!! Anyway, I'm really excited that the...

Great thanks! Thanks to the tip from Elenaroo I decided not to take off from work early. Sounds like it will most likely come tomorrow. Sorry Elenaroo if I got your hopes up. I don't want you to be crushed. Tomorrow isn't that far away. Nat3433,...

ATTENTION FELLOW LETTER-OBSESSED-MEPN-APPLICANTS: Quick update... I just called the school to calmly ask if we were still on track for the letters to go out by the March 1 deadline. She said "yes." I followed up with "so they will be going out toda...
I believe they said they had somewhere around 700 applicants and they usually admit 75. This year they may admit more- around 90. I think the admittance rate varies between about 7 and 15%

sounds like you have a lot of good things on your side. Good luck! I would read through the pages of this thread and take advice from the various years. I would also say to write a really focused letter of intent. Know what you'd like to do and wh...
