2013 UCSF MEPN Applicants

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to apply for the 2013 cycle of MEPN at UCSF (application date would be September 1 of this year). I'll be applying for psych/mental health, and it will be my first time applying to this program. I was wondering if anyone else is out there who is applying for the 2013 cycle. I'm hoping we could share encouragement and tips!

Also, there's a thread for 2012 applicants- definitely check that out too. :)

Hi, I was just accepted to the UCSF doctoral studies program. I live in San Jose & would love some advice/information about the logistics of commuting to UCSF from the South Bay. I was trying to figure out the parking permit system. Looks like you need PhD to understand it;-). Seriously, there is a full page list of different types of permits. My only take away was that parking could cost over $1000 per year!

Can anyone here know a thing about student Parking?

Thanks

Thanks very much for your kind comments, Samdaman, Sarahcee, and Feminista-siempre :) I'm #2 alternate for the FNP, do you think I should wait to get admitted before joining the FB group? It's a little strange because I'm hoping to get in and trying to be optimistic, but have been reluctant to be an active participant in the group, either, since I'm not really in, too. Still, I'd hate to get in and have missed the chance to hear the good conversations going on. Any thoughts? Thank you :)

Just join the group just in case...doesn't hurt.

Good point- let me go back on the threads and see how to do that. Thanks for your comments Samdaman

just PM your e-mail address and I'll invite you.

Hello! I was a lurker on this thread because I am planning to apply for UCSF next year. Would it be possible for the accepted applicants to post up theirs stats? (GRE, GPA, EC) It would be much appreciated! :D

posting this for anyone who may be on the PNP waitlist. I just declined my acceptance to UCSF. It nearly killed me to do so as a year ago I would have given any appendage to be part of this incredible program, but after agonizing decision making I've realized that a different school is actually the best fit for me. Good luck to all you 2013 MEPNS (please keep in touch!) and hopefully I was able to make someone's day by opening up a spot! :)

@sarahcee-

Thank you so much for kindly sharing this information. I am #1 alternate for the PNP specialty, and indeed, you made my day! I'm hoping to officially hear from UCSF soon, and will update this post if/when I do, for the reference of future wait-listers!

Best of luck to you in your path to becoming a nurse!

Seahorse, I hope they notify you asap! :)

Hi smallcarbonfootprint,

Congrats on your alternate position for the UCSF FNP program. I was recently noted as an alternate for the UCSF FNP 2013 cycle. I was told I am in the top 10 but the school was unable to provide a number and that a decision could be made as late as August 2013. I am looking for some advice about the alternate process; have you heard from UCSF, did they give you a date by which you would be accepted, and how were you notified of your numeric listing on the alternate list. This waiting game is getting stressful..! :) I would greatly appreciate any help.

Just an update for anyone curious. I did not get contacted by UCSF after sarahcee declined her spot for Ped NP. I called them after several days of not hearing and I'm still rather mystified. I remain first on the wait-list, and the Pediatrics department is not taking anyone off the wait-list at this time. Rather disappointing and confusing all around.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone thinks it's worth it if I should apply...I have a 3.0 GPA and average 150 GRE scores, 4.5 in writing...did anyone with a really low GPA get accepted?
