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?

I still haven't heard yet....still waiting for the mail to come today. It's late!! It was supposed to arrive at 1:30 and it's 3:30! I spoke to Shelli yesterday and she said I should hear by today since I'm in OC. The letters went to the mailroom end of day Friday. She said to call her if I still didn't hear anything today....so, music you may want to call her. She might even tell you over the phone! :) I'll let you know when I hear.

hmm thanks, maybe I will. Do you think it's better to call or e-mail? I think it's easier for me to find out by email.

She was REALLY nice when I spoke with her yesterday. So, I would call if I were you since she might not be able to tell you if you got accepted or not over email. Either one though.

Or they could just update the website so we didn't have to use the telephone like animals!

I guess I should hear by friday then.

I'm tooooo much of a coward to hear I've been rejected over the phone, regardless if it's coming from a nice American accent!

No letter today but I did call Shelli. Unfortunately, I didn't get in :( That's too bad...definitely wanted to have UCLA as an option. Looks like I'm headed to Vanderbilt. Unless last minute I change my mind about leaving California and I get into CSULB. It would have been a very difficult decision anyway considering UCLA is not an NP program and Vanderbilt is and ultimately that's my goal. Let me know Heather if you decide to go to Vanderbilt. It'd be nice to sort of know someone there! By the way here are my stats so you guys can compare: GPA from USC 3.6 Prereq GPA 4.0 no medical experience.

Good Luck! Hope you guys get better news.

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that Jamie. I admit for selfish reasons I am a little bit happy. It looks like I will most likely be going to Vanderbilt as well.

Nope. But I will in about an hour if it made it's way up here by today. I'll let you guys know....but c'mon, the chances are pretty slim.

The chances are slim, but remember, you're a genius! ;)
