   @Get2theChoppa Even though I'm currently in the CE program, I think overall you are correct. It's better to get CNA or EMT experience as you can get your hands dirty AND get paid a little. But is not run by high school kids - they are all either in c...

   @melodyraz last year I ran into the same problem and called -------------- who advised me to keep it to 2-3 pages double spaced. He said they had so many to read that it might work against me to make it longer.

   @lagirl_1989 - I thought my SOP was really good actually! I am a decent writer and had plenty of qualified people (PhD in Avian Ecology, Princeton admissions counselor and a scientific magazine editor!) read it and make comments. My undergrad GPA is...

   @missliliposh - what is a CCV? I don't think I'll attend the info session. I went last year and everything they talked about there was available on the MECN website. The ONLY new info. I heard was their suggestion to do the Care Extender Internship i...

   When I applied in Nov. I still had 3 pre-reqs incomplete. One was done by Dec. One was done in Feb. and one in March. We were supposed to hear from UCLA mid-March regarding our applications but through being understaffed and some kind of computer (or...

   @missliliposh - I think they got over 500 applications last year. Accepted 70. I think the wait list went through about 30 or so. I asked the admissions office for feedback on my application and they said the SOP was "just OK." It is funny b/c I had ...

    What are your thoughts about entry level in the ER? Or does it not matter at this point. Prob. better to just focus on nursing and then hopefully work towards a job in an ER?
