Any Fall 2007 UCLA MECN Applicants out there?

[Asherah]

So many of the threads regarding direct-entry programs featured mainly east coast schools, there have to be a few folks out there like me who've applied to the UCLA MECN program for the Fall 2007 term. Just wanted to say hello and let's have fun waiting four months for our notifications!

Also, If you're out there, did any of you take the GRE although it wasn't required?

Cheers!

I just made myself a cup of tea to try to soothe my nerves...I just dont want to be sitting in class from 5:30-10pm tonight checking Gmail on my phone and not be able to pay attention! I'd rather go there with an elated demeanor, of course.

See this is why it's dangerous to check these forums because now I am seriously anxious:uhoh21: LOL...I really hope they don't keep us waiting for that much longer. Hey stressed_girl, do you think they notified you first because you're finished with all your pre-reqs? I know I'm still taking Physio right now...hmmmm

So no one else has received anything thus far...? About an hour later? What do you all think, is email anxiety better than letter anxiety?

Hi all,

Newbie here....but I also received an email from UCLA today letting me know I was admitted. I'm still finishing up my pre-reqs, so I do not think that is a factor but maybe they are email in alpha order. I actually was also accepted at UCSF last week so I have to do some decision making. Good luck to everyone!

Nope, nada... I'm getting very anxious now... :uhoh21:

[stressed_girl]

nskoog-- hmm... i'm really not sure because although I'm finished with anat, phsio, micro.... I have not taking the epi course yet. My sister is in the same boat as me in regards to finishing the prereqs, but she still has not received an email yet either.

I think it may just take a few days because the email was personalized with the applicants name.

Fingers crossed for everyone!!!

If the whole reasoning behind sending out email notifications is to facilitate decision making if you've applied to other programs, it would seem to me that they would send rejection notifications in the same time frame as well?

I know that they probably want to be very careful when sending emails so they don't get frivolously sent to the wrong applicant. There are 60 acceptances to send, so I could understand why it would take some time if there is one person to do it.

I'm going to try and hang in there (here).

Stressed: You going to start a Accepted to UCLA MECN thread for us?

[stressed_girl]

Berk,

I totally follow what you're saying and I know in my mind that speculation will not help at all :) I had a theory that they categorize the applicants into those that are a shoe-in for acceptance, and perhaps those that they need to "discuss further" or those whose applications gets passed around the committee a few times.

In my eyes, an acceptance is an acceptance and I don't care if I get mine first or last, as long as I get in. Hell, I would even accept #1 on the waitlist as I know at least one person on this board who would take another school over UCLA.

Thanks for the mutual support, you're our board Mom, for sure.

So this is super-frustrating...still no email, no good news or bad news...What the heck are they trying to do to us, test our will?

I know what you mean, asherah...I'm trying to keep busy because I find myself thinking about it if I stay idle. Hang in there!! and for what it's worth, know that we're here with ya!
