Did anyone apply to UCLA's MECN Program for Fall 2009?

Published

Just wondering if anyone else applied to this program. I went to UCLA for undergrad but I pretty much think I have no shot of getting into this grad program.

Does anyone know anything about how many people they admit? What they are looking for?

Hi empresz, you're not the only one who's regretting not applying to more programs. I only applied to 3 schools. I was confident I was going to get into UCLA since applicants from last year with the same GPA as me were even getting scholarships. Now I only have hope for 2 more (Western and CSUF). And CSUF's not looking so hot to me right now either since they already started interviewing and I didnt even get invited to an interview so far at this point. Word to the wise, don't let cockiness get in the way of applying to more programs. With these days you can never be too sure.

To everyone else stil waiting, hang in there!! No news is still good news!

StillHoping, I think what's hurting us this year is the large number of applicants due to the economy! Argh. I applied to MSMC's accelerated bachelor's program, but I don't think I'll hear anything until May/June since the app deadline is March 15th. Since my ultimate goal is to be a NP, I thought this might be a better route for me. We'll see...I hope to hear news tomorrow!

Are you still waiting to hear from ucla?

Unfortunately a lot more people are applying everywhere this year so the same gpa just doesn't cut it I guess. It's sad but it's yet another biproduct of this economy. Stay optimistic! I'm kinda in the same boat :(

I actually posted earlier that I received my rejection letter from UCLA today. For reference, I'm about 30 miles away from the campus.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I'm having real doubts I'll get in now, cause of my gpa :/

Given the odds, I think it would be foolish NOT to have doubts, regardless of GPA, piano playing skills, or baton-twirling prowess.

Hahaha it's ok kitty, I left those skills out of my application remember? :p

But you're right, the odds are against me in more ways that one, given my background haha

The odds are really against us all. I still say you have the edge being all British and exotic and neurotic and all.

LOL!! I doubt they want a neurotic person in their program!

Someone told me that ucla likes international students.. So I hope no one else from the uk applied!

If there is anyone reading this thread that has either been rejected, put on the wait list or accepted, please register and let us know!

But we were also told that some went out on thursday too..so maybe the rejection letters went out on thursday and the rest went out on friday?
