MEPN 2015

KubelkoBondy · Feb 20, 2015

I didnt get the email, so I dont think everyone did. It is daunting to try to figure out how to be a better candidate by September, but maybe that meeting will be a big help.

I am looking at volunteer opportunities abroad and immersive spanish programs. I also want to feel really confident about my knowledge of the nursing profession. So, i've picked out a few things.

However, I cant shake how odd XX's response was to my call. It didnt seem like my needed improvements were specific like "more clinical experience." He seemed flustered and as though it was sensitive. Of course that is me really reading into it, which is a bad idea.

I received the email, but was unsure of what it meant? My family informed me it was probably a California "sorry, we let you go."

Thought I would get this started...
Who is applying for UCSF MEPN Program currently?

I got accepted to the FNP program! So excited!!

can anyone tell me about/invite to this facebook page that was mentioned? Thanks!

@carlyvega - I sent you a Private Message in case you were still have difficulties finding the Facebook group.

I also got the "counseling and recommendations" email. I emailed asking for clarification since the intention of the email was pretty vague, but haven't heard back. Can anyone here shed some light on it? Is there still a chance of being waitlisted or has that shipped sailed?

hey @jarstar -

I got the email as well. I called when I got the email that day and was under the impression that this was a 2nd review, with a chance of being on the waitlist. I called back a week later to clarify, because it all seemed very uncertain, unclear, and confusing, and the admissions coordinator told me that they would not create a waitlist for psych. He said that this phone appt with a faculty member would be merely to offer advice to apply next year - which would be my third year applying. Very disappointing. Needless to say, I am Columbia bound.

Thanks, lexi1822. That's really helpful. I applied to the FNP program and assume the answers would be the same. I think I'm Columbia bound, as well!

Hey folks, the USNews 2016 Best Nursing School rankings are out, and UCSF has risen even further in the rankings! Overall, they've jumped two spots up to #2 (and in psych, they're tied again for #1!)

Half Windsor · Mar 16, 2015

For anyone currently in the Bay Area, and not already in the Facebook group, we're planning an informal meet n' greet of incoming MEPN students this Sunday, March 22nd starting at 2:00pm, at the Soma StrEat Park (428 11th St).

Congrats to you all for pursuing your dreams and getting accepted to UCSF MEPN! I am a current mepn student finishing my first year! I know how valuable it was for me to hear from current mepn students and would be more than happy to share my experience and offer any kind of advice for making it through your first year!

Me as well.... is the application posted yet? I just saw applications for dental and physical therapy...

Hi,

Applications should open on Tuesday 7/7.

Here we go (again)! Maybe we should close this discussion out and start a 2016 group?
