   Hi everyone! Applied to Psych and OR. I did get the email re: the personality test (it was immediate, before uploading docs).

2. does a prestigious RN program benefit at all??

   moonsilver replied to Socal_EMT's topic in California

   Socal_EMT, like most things, the answer would be: it depends. I'm sure the school's prestige does help a bit with the competition, possibly due to reputation, drawing in stellar faculty, and attractive clinical sites, but I doubt this is the best wa...

   moonsilver replied to hibiscusRN's topic in California

   Does anyone have any advice or remembers the kind of questions asked at the group interview? I received an email to attend a group interview next week, which is my first interview - needless to say, a little nervous!

4. UCLA New Grad Program Winter 2016

   moonsilver replied to Kayla0515's topic in California

   I wouldn't say that, just because they take quite a while to get back at people. It's just an agonizing wait

5. UCLA New Grad Program Winter 2016

   moonsilver replied to Kayla0515's topic in California

   I still haven't heard anything yet and my preferences were MICU, Adult ICU, and Tele/Obs. I wonder if there is an order to this, in terms of units...

   Now that the deadline is extended to October 20, sure! Kayla0515, I was wondering the same thing...

7. UCLA MECN Fall 2014?

   moonsilver replied to ceecoxy's topic in California

   matthewandrew, I checked my old posts and realized my timing was off. I found out I was waitlisted March 5 and was offered a spot April 2, so it was about a month. I remember they had to wait for the accepted folks to confirm first, giving them a dea...

8. UCLA MECN Fall 2014?

   moonsilver replied to ceecoxy's topic in California

   Like @myck706, I'm also in my 1st year in the program. I know it's easy to be chewing your fingernails in anticipation - I think a few of my classmates were calling the office every day last year! Hard as it may be, do you best redirecting your energ...

   Hi Tweety2013 and mmccann44, I was number 18. I found out via email. :)

10. UCLA MECN FALL 2013

    moonsilver replied to ldytrjn's topic in California

    Yep, Tweety2013's right - last year all 60 alternates were accepted, so there is still a chance. Speaking of which...I was informed yesterday that I was accepted off the wait list! WOOOOO!

    Hi mmccann44, As far as I know, the deadline for the accepted to reply to UCLA is Friday, March 22. So the earliest you will be notified that you're accepted off the wait list is Monday, March 25.

12. UCLA MECN FALL 2013

    moonsilver replied to ldytrjn's topic in California

    Good question, because if you end up dropping the class, $150 of the fee is non-refundable. I wasn't sure at first because I don't know the odds of alternates getting accepted. But I might sign up this week anyway because I hate the uncertainty of ge...

    moonsilver replied to ldytrjn's topic in California

    missbettyboo, thank you for the research! Very much appreciated :) I'm not sure about more affordable options given it's a short list and the majority are universities... I think UCLA would be the best bet for me since it's the closest commute, unles...

    moonsilver replied to ldytrjn's topic in California

    Thanks sandstone! I want to join the FB group but I want to be official, so let's hope that will happen :) Btw, about the timing of letters...from cursory experience I've had doing bulk mailing, it's just slow, because you have to presort the mail to...
