Any Fall 2008 UCLA - MECN Program Applicants out there?

[NSFA08]

Are any of you starting to get anxious about the forthcoming decisions? We have another month or so yet to know, but I still want to know NOW! :innerconf ... Wanna share in the waiting process? Have you heard anything about the # of people they are accepting? Anything?

[ucla_hopeful]

has anybody received mail today?

[odamae]

not yet here- anything there?

I am getting a little worried being it has been sort of quiet here with no one checking in with news

my sleepless night is catching up with me:yawn:

[kathliz]

No. I'm still at work. Although I'm sitting on pins and needles right now I dread going home. My friend tried to pump me up this morning. She told me that I was silly. She said of course those in the forum who got in would want to tell everyone and those who didn't wouldn't say anything. Well, whatever happens I will let you all know. Just checked the UCLA website and it hasn't changed. I think that it might be a great day for Nursingstudenhopeful and maybemaybenot because they live outside of LA and it would take a couple of days to get acceptance notices. However, just because I'm pessimistic I don't want to jinx anyone else. Is everyone from the LA/OC area?

hey guys - I decided to reply b/c someone mentioned that there are some threaders who haven't been responding - I got waitlisted for UCLA's program. By the sounds of it, it looks like I could make it into the acceptance range in a couple of weeks, but I am beginning to think philosophically - if I wasn't meant for ucla for this program, that's why i didn't get into it right away. If I got waitlisted, that probably means that it's not the most ideal environment for me to become a nurse in. I have many personal reasons why I was skeptical about ucla's program (pre-waitlist letter) so this is why I think I was meant for the school I gave my acceptance of admission to. I feel good about it. Though I think I will still keep my name on the waitlist - perhaps just to smile when I happily decline.

when did you hear? may I ask which school you chose to attend?

[maybemaybenot]

my heart sank again when i didn't get anything in the mail today. my status on the website is still the same. i'm pretty sure i would have received something by now if i were accepted. i was so close to calling the school and just asking them if they could tell me the decision over the phone, but i don't think i'd be able to handle it if it were bad news. plus, i have an interview tomorrow morning with another school so i guess i should concentrate on preparing for that and just wait it out ...and hopefully get something in the mail after my interview...i really wanted to go to ucla but if they don't want me, then fine...hopefully the other school will accept me...it's just that it's a private school and it will be $$$$$$$$

good luck to those who are still waiting!

Are you in the UCLA-vicinity? Shelli told me the last of the letters went out Wednesday.

My letter came yesterday in the mail and my roommate read it off to me since I wasn't home. =/ I am going to USD, great very welcoming and warm program. :) Good luck!

no, i live in the SF bay area. i would like to think that the letters didn't go out in any particular order, but now it really seems like the acceptances went out first...

That's kinda how I'm feeling. I'm thinking of leaving town for the weekend and just forgetting about all this till Monday. I got the mail today, but there was no letter .

good luck tomorrow in your interview maybemaybenot! i agree with pretzelpug that it is most productive to think of our status as a sign of what is meant for each of us. before i headed home to check my mail yesterday someone told me "no matter what the letter says, you will still have a happy life." simple, but true and uplifting.

[odamae]

Great you found a program that is a good fit for you- it is 2 years of your life. I wish you much success and happiness at USD. I will definitely put it on my list for next application go-around.
