  1. I'm interested in what they're looking for too! Hopefully meeting with Suzette Cardin will give me some insight. Columbia may be on my application list for next year if I could swing a way to pay for...
  2. Well I called Shelli this morning based on my friend's recommendation and just asked her if she can confirm that I have not been recommended for admission. She explained that she does not normally...
  3. Nope, no other plans for this Fall. I was very busy focusing on doing well in my pre-reqs and finding competent recommenders and honestly I didn't feel as if at that point I would be competitive...
  4. Yes, I would imagine so. The only other option is waitilisting...I still don't know if I'm going to try to call and see if I can confirm the rejection over the phone. Two classmates that you're...
  5. To everyone still waiting word from UCLA, my contact within the program stated that the MECN coordinator indicated that all of the acceptance emails had been sent. She did mention that a confirmation...
  6. So this is super-frustrating...still no email, no good news or bad news...What the heck are they trying to do to us, test our

    GRE study guide/CD?

    I believe the scoring is being reformatted beginning with tests given in September of this year. If I need to take it I'm planning on an August appointment, so I will know what to expect with the...

    Accepted to UCLA's 2007 MECN Program!

    Official acceptance thread congratulations! :balloons: Please...post here if you've been accepted, if you haven't read about it already in the other thread, they're apparently sending emails...
  9. Berk, I totally follow what you're saying and I know in my mind that speculation will not help at all :) I had a theory that they categorize the applicants into those that are a shoe-in for...
  10. If the whole reasoning behind sending out email notifications is to facilitate decision making if you've applied to other programs, it would seem to me that they would send rejection notifications in...
  11. So no one else has received anything thus far...? About an hour later? What do you all think, is email anxiety better than letter
  12. I just made myself a cup of tea to try to soothe my nerves...I just dont want to be sitting in class from 5:30-10pm tonight checking Gmail on my phone and not be able to pay attention! I'd rather go...
  13. Stressed...no way, you broke the seal, you're the first...I'm personally holding you responsible for my hyperanxiety from this point
  14. I was just joking! Of course it looks absolutely legitimate and congratulations...now im super-anxious...argh! Now my mind starts to wonder, "what if I don't get an email today?" Look at me, I'm...
  15. Are you kidding! Did it contain any other info? Just yesterday she replied to me via email that it would be another two weeks! This isn't a cruel joke, is
  16. BerkMom, Argh, you have no idea...oh wait, YOU DO! In my case I chose to apply to one school (UCLA) as I really did not believe myself to be a competitive candidate for Yale, Columbia,...
  17. I took Epi at CSU Fullerton in the Fall...which cost an arm and a leg ($800 with a parking permit as an extension student), but I wanted to get it over with and it turned out to be a very interesting...
  18. :welcome: K... I don't know anything about Azusa's programs so I'm afraid I can't do an accurate comparison for you. I can say that the MECN program is a 2-year (well, 21 month) generalist...

    They make me feel like a failure

    I'm with Tweety on this one...his concise answer pretty much sums up how I feel about your situation. If those around you are questioning your decision and implying that it is a situation you are...
  20. Nope, I'm just taking it for fun and to get a head start (we actually use the same text as the Adv. Pharm class that is part of the MECN curriculum, so I figured it couldn't hurt). The only way to...
  21. Dko, I noticed you're in Westwood, are you a currently a UCLA student? Recent grad, finishing up undergrad or none of the above and just conveniently located near the
  22. Okay, I broke down and emailed Shelli this morning to try to sneak out a more specific notification date. I received the following reply: The faculty committee is making its final decisions now....
  23. You could definitely try to call or email Shelli Shepherd, the MECN Coordinator. I've already emailed her a few times during the application process and she is very friendly and accomodating, I think...
  24. You can use the search feature to find threads from the 2006 candidates, there are a few that are currently attending UCLA but no longer post on this forum regularly (primarily because school keeps...

    Pharmacology

    I'm taking a Pharmacology class as a sort-of elective currently (will have to take Adv. Pharm once I'm in my program and I figured I'd better get a head start!) and my best advice is what you may have...
