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 am with you all in this one. It's very hard to sit and wait for these letters when it seems like everyone else in the country already knows where they are going to be studying next year! I'm hoping they do send them out before April because this is killing me... ah well, at least it's around the corner:wink2:

Hi all! :)

I completely feel everyone on how anxious and stressful of a time this is...simply waiting for a response! I got into Western U's program and am now waiting on UCLA and CSULB.

Has anyone already taken the epidemiology course? I know UCLA offers it but I'm wondering if there are more affordable places that might offer it too...

I took Epi at CSU Fullerton in the Fall...which cost an arm and a leg ($800 with a parking permit as an extension student), but I wanted to get it over with and it turned out to be a very interesting course, I enjoyed my professor a lot. I know that you may be able to take it at UCLA during the summer if you are accepted, they usually offer a summer session.

Also, the UCLA provided list indicates that for now the only accepted Epi courses (in lieu of the UCLA offered course) are those offered at the CSUs and SFSU.

[Asherah, BSN, RN]

WHOOAA!! That was fast! Congratulations StressedGirl!

[Asherah, BSN, RN]

I was just joking! Of course it looks absolutely legitimate and congratulations...now im super-anxious...argh!

Now my mind starts to wonder, "what if I don't get an email today?" Look at me, I'm going nuts!

Anyone else...anyone?! anyone!?

[stressed_girl]

No, but you are totally right... it doesn't make sense if you just spoke to Shelli yesterday, and she said that it would be another 2 weeks!!

Anyhow, I guess it wouldn't hurt to call her to make sure!

And don't worry if you don't get anything in the email today, maybe the 2 weeks she was talking about is the 2 weeks she needs to send out the emails!!

Thanks for the congrats everyone!! BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE!!! I can't wait to hear your good news!!!

[Asherah, BSN, RN]

Stressed...no way, you broke the seal, you're the first...I'm personally holding you responsible for my hyperanxiety from this point forward
