Fall 2010 UCLA MECN applicants share your comments/concerns

Published

Just a reminder for whoever interested in applying to fall 2010 UCLA MECN program, the deadline is Nov. 2, 2009.

Let me share my story. I mailed my application to UCLA SON two weeks ago via certified mail. I thought I could track my package on USPS website. However, it only showed that the postal service received my package and there was no more further info regarding the arrival at UCLA. I panicked and called the USPS three times with three different phone #s. And I went to my local postal office to recall my package. NO LUCK. They told me to call PO with 90095 zip code. Finally, I talked to the right person who worked in the Village postal in Westwood. He said UCLA had its own postal service system and it did not conform any kind of mailing. I was sort of relief that knowing my package was with UCLA SON. This is my first time applying to MECN. Anyone who is re-applicant out here, do you mind share your previous experience with UCLA-MECN?

Anyone else get any emails?

The message was personalized... not just "Dear Applicant" so I'm guessing she is emailing accepted students throughout the day. Good luck to everyone!

BTW... I have no idea what I'm going to end up doing. The programs I applied to (and some that I've been accepted to) are all different... in cost, location, and whether its 2-year with RN and Clinical Nurse Leader or a longer program with a RN and NP. I know its good to have options, but the anxiety of choosing sucks.

She sent me an e-mail about 1/2 hour ago. i got in as well!! it was a generic e-mail but it looks like she is sending it out to each person, instead of as a group.

good luck to everyone who is waiting to hear back!!

I got an email at 11:02am. I got in!!!!!!! UCLA was the first entry master's program I heard about and the one I always really wanted to go to. All those years of pre-reqs, all that paperwork, all those interviews and all that anxiety! I wish everyone here good luck and that you all get in somewhere.. and if its not this year then next year. We will all be great nurses some day soon. Cheers!
