Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

[Louise409]

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...!

Just called student affairs, despite instructions not to. Letters were mailed today.

Right. Went to mailbox with heart racing...nothing. Hopefully the torture will end tomorrow.

!!!

What about the info that letters went out on Friday? I guess that's wrong.

Too bad.

Talk about "High AnxietY"....

Scott Ziem specifically promised the letters "would be postmarked on March 3rd, because the 1st was on a Saturday".

I did not expect them to be delivered until Wednesday, thereby giving a little cushion, just in case they couldn't deliver "as promised". Now that they were "mailed yesterday", they still may not be here tomorrow, so give yourselves a break and lessen your anxiety to allow for postal mishaps and the occasional "postal" postal carrier.

Good luck everyone.!!

Nothing for me either. The info I had on Friday was from the Nursing office: "we sent the letters to the Registrar yesterday [Thursday] so they've most likely been mailed out." Guess it went out today.

Holy mole batman, looks like we're gonna find out sooner than later.

I'm glad I didn't find out today. I had a lab practicum and would not have been able to tolerate all of that at once!

i live in Berkeley and nothing came in today's mail. mail usually is delivered next day when it's sent within the Bay Area.

this is working me!

[czyja, MSN, RN]

Same here - I am in SF and nothin' came. To describe the situation as "frustrating" would be quite an understatement.

Ah, well. Nothing to do but wait until to tomorrow.

I was just told that they went out today.

Then again, I've heard that before too....

For all those interested. Friday from 9-11am KQED's Forum is on Choices in Childbirth. The panel consists of OB's, CNM's, authors, researchers, and then me:specs:. The forum is being held in the classroom of the Health and Well being center for Mills Peninsula Hospital (I teach there, and was shocked when my boss called to warn me KQED wanted me on the panel to add an honest, non-medical third dimension to the discussion). Come join us in the audience in San Mateo --email KQED to make a reservation, and ask some gritty questions...come on, I know you have some. Amy Levi will be there of UCSF's midwifery practice and program. Or just turn your radios on.

This is finally a good distraction from waiting.

Why is it that I've been patient for months and now that it's down to the day...I'm going out of my mind!!! I got this huge thing of coupons in the mail yesterday and proceeded to sift through them as if the letter was hiding somewhere between the Target and Petco pages... Sigh....
