Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

So, did anyone interview yesterday? Any comments?

Both interviews had similar questions. Straight-forward, not difficult questions. Both the faculty member and the Nurse Manager were very friendly and talkative. It was a good experience. There are so many qualified applicants, I'm sure it is a difficult decision process. Too bad we have to wait a month to find out acceptance/denial status!

I got my acceptance letter today, : ) Has anyone else heard anything? I was surprised, they want an answer by March 8th, and there was no mention of a deposit being required...

Congrats, rchamp59! I've also been accepted into the nurse-midwifery track and I'm SO excited. My husband and I are already trying to make plans for our move to San Francisco.
Anybody else? What specialty are you, rchamp59?

Hi! I am planning on applying to the MEPN program this fall. This question is specifically directed to Emily, but also anyone else who might know. Do you know which Masters Specialties are the most competitive? Also, someone told me that nobody ever gets in their first time applying, and the majority of those who are in the program had to at least apply twice. Is this true? Thanks!

Diddle,

Let me share what I've heard:

1. It sounded like the FNP and Midwifery tracks are the most competitive.

2. I got in the first time around, so it can be done!!

Good luck!!

I agree those are the most competitive tracks, FNP and Midwifery, but I also got in on the first try, and it was in the FNP track. So do not let that influence you at all, go for it!

Congratulations rchamp59 and Karotte. I also got an acceptance letter! Yeah, I was a little stunned that they didn't ask for a $500 deposit, but hey, that's fine with me!

Congrats, bostongal!

I think we met at the orientation - you're interested in being a periatric NP, right?

Will you be attending UCSF?

That's so funny A lot of us have probably met each other at some interview or another. Yes, I'm heading out to CA - trying to figure out the logistics of relocating across the country (road trip!). I wonder who else from that interview weekend will show up for orientation?
