Any UCLA MECN students out there?

[amm2061]

Hey! I was just accepted for the MECN program at UCLA to begin this fall. I'm so excited but nervous at the same time to start at such a new program! Any other students starting as well or suggestions from other masters entry students about their experiences??? Thanks!!

Hello. i am going to attend UCLA for the MECN program this fall of 2009.

What is the Nursing Fundamentals class that you are all talking about? Is it a pre-requisite that you are referring to? Possibly the Nursing 50 class offered this summer at UCLA? Is it the Fundamentals of Epidemiology?

As a follow-up, I hope you applied and got in. I am in similar situation with a GPA that is almost at 3.0 for undergrad, but 3.5 for pre-requisites. I am wondering whether I should turn-in my application or whether it would just be a waste of money and resources.

I think you should definitely apply unless you seriously do not have any money for app fees (in which you may get them waived if the school participates in that). And about being rejected, I have my fair of rejection letters.... But don't let that discourage you because eventually, you WILL get in! Perseverance!

Good luck!

Thank you for the encouragement. Appreciate it. I am submitting an application.
