Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

Published

Hi everyone--

Has anyone else out there applied to the UCSF MEPN program? They're supposed to send out letters this month (December) for the interview process. Has anyone gotten a letter yet? Will those that aren't asked to the interview process get a rejection letter now?

Crossing my fingers...!

well said....

hey tippy, you should have messed with him a bit and told him the opposite things to do, you know like total stereotype stuff like wearing pink scrubs to scare those scary boys away and talking about clothes, have some fun with a phobic...lol...

nothing says fun like messing with someone with a phobia right!! but that being said i am sure no harm was meant, i mean we are all adults so i just kind of laughed it off and i am sure tippy probably had a chuckle too.

when i read what newtonian had to say i had to laugh. for starters if one has the phobia or doesn't like supposedly being hit on by guys then san francisco is not a place one should apply, that is what we would call common sense newtonian. oh, let me by clear, newt, what i am saying is meant as a jab at you in good fun so please take it as such, have to have a little fun on the board right.

second, when i first entered the workforce and i was hit on by gay guys i was a little taken aback by it at first because while i have my theories about how they are with eachother that is just with eachother. the reality was i never knew because before i went to work i never got to know any gay's (male or female) so, my point is when those interested knew i wasn't then friendships were found and i will tell you what, although i don't live life like they do or do something they do, they are some of the coolest people i've met. humor is just off the charts and unlike many uptight people they can dish it out and actually take it and while not all of any type (race,gender,etc) are the same that has been my experience.

so, come on newtonian, do like i do, take it as a compliment. i mean imagine being wanted by all so to speak and being twice as popular, if you thought this way in high school maybe you could've been voted a prom king or something, you could have had the straight female vote, the gay vote and so on....lol....

okay, so back to reality, some have had good experiences and others have not through the process but like any experience involving customer service i guess it is just luck of the draw sometimes.

oh, on the ucsf site there is a picture of last years class and i think i counted about 12 males out of a class of 80 or more, it was awhile back when i looked so i can't remember exactly but i would expect about the same.

veni, vidi, vadi

Yes! it passes the time.

I have to say, take getting hit on as a compliment and move on. Now you know what it is like to live in this world as a female!

It looks like from the last few years worth of posts people got their letters December 16th in 2005 and December 19th 2006... what's going on this year? I can't stand waiting any longer!

I hear ya! I'm beginning to wonder if we'll get the letters before Christmas. I'm going out of town the 24th-29th, and will go crazy knowing that my mail will be unchecked for 5 days! I guess all we can do is keep on waiting...

I ran into a friend last night in the co-op, she applied to the program last year and got her interview letter between Christmas and New Year's. I'm not optimistic that mine will come this week.

She also said that she loved the program, the people were great, and so were the instructors. It was really good to hear, especially since the tone on this board has been so negative about UCSF lately.
