Hi NP to be, Thanks for the insights - you've hit upon a lot of my concerns with USF. I'm considering attending UCLA and possibly relocating to the bay area after graduation, just contemplating how challenging that might be (as you mention) competin...

Hi NP to be ... I was accepted into the MECN and USF's program, and I'm anguishing over my decision because my significant other lives in the Bay area (I live in LA right now). I'll be moving up to the Bay area regardless of where I end up going fo...

Did Megan call you out of the blue or had you left her a message? Just wondering if she's calling people who were admitted today.

So, just want to make sure I understand this correctly - they're mailing (not emailing) the responses? Thanks.

Thanks, maybe they're adding ... or anticipating that 10 or so decline. Either way, I suspect it'll be right around 50 or 60. Thanks.

Does anyone know what the cohort number will be after all acceptances/declines are tallied? 60?

Yea, thank you. I just received an email from the MSN CNL coordinator saying "end of the month" for notifications, but I suspect it will be sometime toward the end of next week (if they're true to form with last year's timing). Not much longer ...

Hi everyone, I haven't received a email from USF either. It looks like March 19 was the notification date last year.

Sandman, Congratulations! I was accepting into UCLA's MECN program but, given my work schedule, didn't apply to many programs. My significant other lives in SF and I am wondering if it might make sense to apply to UCSF for next year. Do you mind ...

That's funny. I just spoke with the guy who handles fellowships for the SON. I learned that we'll find out about fellowships in approx. 2 weeks, they're given to the top 13-15 ranked MECN students upon entry. Apparently 60 students were accepted, ...

I was surprised by the email yesterday, I was thinking mid March as well. I'm trying to find out more regarding fellowships; however, I was under the impression that the SON recommends students for fellowship after the first year. I'm unclear how f...

Keep at it Dizzy!

Congratulations Sandman, I got accepted today, too but it's a little complicated considering my significant other lives in SF. So, still waiting on University of San Francisco and ... thinking, doing a lot of thinking. UCLA was my top choice, thoug...

Hi Everyone, I got the same email as (ugh, didn't note the name) person above about UCLA MECN - "Congratulations! The UCLA Schools of Nursing will recommend to the Graduate Division to accept you ..." From the string of comments here, looks like e...

Though the MSN is a graduate degree and therefore an advanced degree, the MSN CNL (program offered at USF, UCLA MECN, among others) is not considered an advanced practice degree. It's considered advanced generalist. My understanding is that, functi...

Hi Betsy, I just had my MSM accBSN interview on Tuesday of this week. It was about 30 minutes and was pretty basic.

Does anyone happen to know of any online courses (or anything) that allow for completing pre-reqs (specifically developmental psych and public speaking) extra quickly? Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you.

Hi there, I am interested in applying to USF for Summer. My understanding is that this cohort begins the end of May. Is this correct? I'm concerned about getting my last two prereqs (lifespan and speech) done considering I work full time and wint...

Sandman, Would you mind my asking what your stats were - GPA, pre-reqs, any clinical/volunteer experience? I'll be applying this year to USF and am curious about my odds. Thanks!

I believe the Samuel Merritt EL-MSN program has 24 spots.
