UH MEPN 2012

Students Post Graduate

Published

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!

Just read about your interview invite to UPENN, wpolorocker! I would love to hear about your stats/experience, etc! If you can get an interview there I'm sure you are golden for other programs!

Thanks for the confidence, Miss Holland!

I have an undergrad degree from SMU in Music Education with a GPA of 3.7. I have CNA license though I have never worked as one (I just got the license last month), and I am currently taking nursing prerequisites at a community college. I don't have any medical experience to speak of, but I had good grades, with all As on my mid-semester score report. My GRE score was 1200 with a writing of 3.5.

Is this all of us for this program?! Are you getting excited that the deadline has passed and we should be hearing within the next month about interviews? I am!

I am stoked that the January 2nd application has passed and that I have indeed completed my application. I only got an email stating that my application was complete, not that I would be contacted in the event that I was selected for an interview. Hmmmm.... this is differnt than what MissHolland posted. I have been following the MEPN threads for 2 years as I was preparing to apply. I look toward the future and look forward to supporting and being supported on this thread as we make our way through this journey. Either way, accepted or not we are on a journey that will lead us down a new path and just this, is exciting.

"this email is to inform you that your application to the master’s entry program in nursing is now complete.

the admission committee will contact you in the event that you are selected for an interview. interviews will be held in-person or via phone if you are off island."

that was the e-mail i got. anyhow, i love your outlook and you are so right. wherever the journey takes us, it's a great one! i'm trying my best to enjoy the present but i am so anxious to find out!
