No clinicals in the first year?? That's odd. From my understanding in speaking with someone in the program, and looking at the program schedule, it looks like clinicals should begin Spring Quarter of the first year and then continue on in summer and ...

Just an FYI for all you Facebook users if you search the term "UCLA MECN" there is a group for us UCLA'ers....it looks like it was started by the earlier cohorts.

UCLA Nursing I couldn't find you based on the info you gave me, I PM'ed you in reply. Hope we can connect soon :) I'm all for the idea about starting a Yahoo group...we are going to need the support from each other, and its a good way for us to get ...

Thanks for that housing deadline UCLA Nursing! Also, just to remind everyone the housing application can be done online as well, so you don't have to worry about mailing it in. For those that are attending, I'd love to friend you on Facebook or Mysp...

In regards to Epi, I was looking at an online class through BYU..it's the only one I could find, and it was approved by the dept. Thank you for the info on UCLA's online option...didn't know that exists!

Has everyone already taken the required Epidemiology course? I still have to take it, and I would prefer to take it online...anyone know of any online options? I found one, but wanted to see if anyone else has found others. Thanks!

Same here! Nothing like some $ to sway me, lol. I am deciding between John Hopkins and UCLA right now. I have an interview at CSUF also, but it's pretty much the same program as UCLA , only 3 years long, so I'm doubtful I'll go there. Asherah, thank ...

Was anyone nominated for a UCLA fellowship? I just got an email today saying I was.. very unexpected! It definitely sways my decision towards UCLA more and more.

Hey all! I too received an acceptance packet in the mail. I, for one, was shocked to have gotten in! I applied to so many other schools(out of state) and always thought CA was ultra-competitive. I've already put a deposit down at Johns Hopkins, so I ...

I'm in too! Congrats to all. Although, I'm still deciding where I want to go. I'm still not sure how I feel about the MSN portion being entirely distance-learning based.

hmm...I'll have to look for that group as well! YAY ASHERAH!!!:ancong!: I'm thrilled you made it :) I'm very close to choosing JHU as my school.

I'm in CA and I got my letter today!! Accepted for the FNP track :) WOOHOO. This has been a great week- 2 acceptances arrived in the mail. Good luck to all.

Thank you! I applied for the BS/MSN program(FNP). I am glad to be in, but it's so hard now because I have to make a decision( I applied to other schools in CA as well that I have upcoming interviews for). eek!

AAAAAAAAHHH :w00t: I'M IN!!! Just received the call. I am so thrilled. My hands are still shaking. Anyone else have good news? For those still waiting, don't give up yet. I hope you guys have good news too!

oooh! that makes me nervous. I think last year people found out around different times depending on which cycle their application was in. Just curious, when did you have your interview?

Thank you for that. I was getting confused trying to figure the whole FAFSA thing out as well. I hope Columbia still considers the FAFSA as "valid" even though we'd be filling out in the wrong way according to their email.

According to my friend, last year they had over 300 applicants, around 90 were interviewed, and then they admitted 40( and around 5 people on top of that from the waitlist). So, if you got an interview it's a reason to celebrate knowing you made the...

My interview was about 30-40 min long. Good luck!

Asherah, I am so sorry to hear you didn't get in I was really rooting for you as a fellow Southern Californian. Don't give up! I had my interview today...most nerve-wracking thing ever. The wonderful lady I interviewed with was so kind and she said ...

Congrats utexas!! Hopefully more us will get some good news! I think I personally won't know for awhile though because my interview isn't until next week.

Does JHU interview everybody with a completed application? Just wondering! Just got the email about scheduling my interview..eek!! I have so much stuff going on right now, I hope it's okay to do it in mid December. Definitely going to do the phone in...

Oh man , that's horrible. I definitely feel for you..I don't even know how I would go about getting a second copy of recs. So stressful. I'm wondering if I should use FedEx..hmm. Thank you for the information about the supplemental materials. It has ...

Quick question about apps- the website states they want all supplemental materials in one packet. I applied online and uploaded my resume and statement there. Do I still have to include this in my supplemental materials? I would say no, but I just th...

oh I definitely know how you feel! I am currently editing down my personal statement to the required 500 words or less and it's proving to be difficult. I wish we had double that!! Good luck to you too!!

I am applying as well! I have a friend who got admitted last year, and yes it's very competitive.
