   I just checked my calendar and I received my letter to interview last year on Dec 4. I live in San Francisco, so I was probably one of the first to receive it... It arrived via snail mail. Anyway, any day now!!! Good luck to everyone.

   Congratulations to all of you who were accepted! That is fantastic and I am so happy for you. I was unfortunately, denied! I received my denial on Weds Feb 23rd by email also. I wonder if they sent out waitlisted letters by snailmail which were more ...

   I felt that the interview was the most difficult I have faced! I had one interviewer who frowned at me quite a bit and it threw me. I was not as articulate as I was hoping to be. However, it's a good lesson to be to stay poised and true to myself no ...

   Does anyone know how many MEPN students UCSF will accept for 2011? Also does anyone know how many are accepted for each specialty or is it a variable amount? And finally, how many applicants did UCSF receive for the MEPN program this year? Best of lu...
