UH MEPN 2012

[wpolorocker]

Is anyone looking at University of Hawaii's MEPN program for Fall 2012? I'm originally from Honolulu and would LOVE to go back and do this program. Especially since I would pay in-state tuition! :)

I've looked over the lengthy forum about the program from 2009. Is there anyone who went to UH's program that started this Fall? I would be quite interested to hear your stats (GPA, etc.) and to find out how many people applied and how many were accepted/matriculated this year. I will also be taking A&P 2 and Microbiology in the Spring and I am curious if that will hurt me since I am not done with all the prereqs. They say you just have to finish them by July, but I am wondering if that is really true.

Any info previous MEPN people can give me would be great. Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

I just want to let you know that I have a friend in last year's cohort. She was notified via telephone on March 18th and she was the first group to be notified. So, either this week or next but things change every year. Good luck to everyone!

Ok, officially mid-March now, huh? Good luck to everyone, we WILL hear soon 17 days max?!?

i haven't had the time or guts to call. this probably has nothing to do with it, but a classmate of mine had mentioned that the dental hygiene program at UH sent out letters which were received by applicants today. possibly same admin since all nursing programs belong to the same school within UH? making myself craaaazy haha. what will i do when i have the envelope in my hand finally? probably just stand at the mailbox in a frozen state until my husband gets home haha. i'm so anxious to actually receive a letter, that i haven't decided what to do with it when i get it!!

Waiting to hear back like the rest of you. =D

how is everyone holding up?

[bluecloud]

Very eager to hear! :) Every day I am tempted to contact Shannon and ask him if we will be called soon :).

But, I don't.

I hope we are notified by phone rather than by postal mail; :).

Hey, also, in case you all are interested, there is a MEPN facebook page.

It is called UH MANOA MEPN.

Aloha...

Lol. I love this thread! Next week! I bet!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone on the thread. Here is hoping the next two weeks go by quickly. :cheers:

I am REALLY hoping they have decided to notify people before spring break. They will right? Right? I am over the waiting and I am ready to know one way or another. Everyone hang in there and keep us informed!

BTW- I just want to thank everyone for posting on the thread. Knowing what is happening with other prospective students has kept me somewhat sane during this crazy wait. You guys are the best!

Have a great weekend and check your mail

For those not living in Hawaii, during Spring break all University of Hawaii Campuses are on "Green Week", which means that they will be closed for the most part. So I believe...we will hear from them by the end of this week, if not :0/ first week of April. This week seems to be a bit LONGER than how a typical work week would go. I hope everyone is hanging in there as I am trying to keep a cool head and just take each day as it comes.

@lizzyp2004 mahalo for the heads up about spring break/green week!

i wish they would call us..............!!

:)

hey guys,

i did email Shannon and just got his reply regarding when letters will be sent out:

"Our goal and hope is that the admit and deny letters will be mailed out this month or early April at the latest. UH will be closed next week due to Spring Break and mandatory furlough of staff members.

We thank you for your patience in this matter."

let's all assume we'll be notified AFTER spring break (beginning of april) and enjoy the week off from classes or hopefully work :)

[DC275]

Thank you for emailing them, I appreciate all the updates. The fact that April is even mentioned is a strong indicator that the letters aren't going to be received this week, but we can hope!
