UCLA MECN FALL 2013

U.S.A. California

Published

Have been looking around and haven't really seen a topic on this yet. This is my dream school/program. I am from Seattle so I am having to get a lot of info from them long-distance instead of going to an information session. Has anyone gone to an information session yet?

I'm going to try and stay as busy as possible over the next few weeks! I would love to hear more about the discussion pertaining to clinical hours for the MECN program...When I went to an information session, it was stressed that the program had the most nursing clinical hours in the state. Did anyone else go to an information session? :)

I went to the info session in the summer. I got the same vibe on clinical hours too. That we would have so many different, diverse opportunities. We shall see.

I would also like to know more about research opportunities and whether MECN students are involved with faculty's research projects. If any current students could comment about this, I would greatly appreciate it! :)

wellllll....im sweating. I just got off the phone with the MECN office and he said next week or two, and then stressed OR TWO. I was prepared to find out in late march. Now it could be next week. barf. I dont know if I have the strength for this!!

That is great news! That means we should hear by the 15th!

OMG ! Thanks for the update. I want this to be over already. The suspense is killing me. I hope, like everyone else, to receive great news. This will be a life changer for me. Eeeek!!

The e-mail I received back in November said "mid-March". *fingers crossed sooner and with good news!*

Based on past years.... 2011 and 2012 historical data from the UCLA MECN FORUMS. It appears you will find out the first few days into March rather than mid March as claimed by the website. Graduate programs like to give a cushion just in case things awry and they need extra time. UCLA has been doing this for a while, so I am pretty sure they have it done to a science. I would almost bet money$$$ that you will have your letter mailed to you by Friday and could check your status online. And that brings me to my second point, you will be able to find out if you have been rejected online by checking the status of your application and clicking on the Fall 2013 term, putting in your password, and advancing through the screens. This behavior has been described multiple times for the past 2 years and I highly doubt it is going to change. I would even go as far as to say the admission staff gave individuals who kept calling the same response date (Mid March) to cover themselves and to be consistent with the website. Critically think about it for a min.

Also, they do not upload acceptance or wait list letter because those are too specific. A rejection letter is more general and can be sent out to the masses.

As soon as I hear anything I will post, although the LA residents will probably be posting first. Good luck to everyone!

I live in Santa Monica. I will post as soon as I find out anything. Hopefully good news!!'

Does anybody know if they have announced officially how many students they are accepting this year? (not just rumors, I mean heard directly from the school itself).
