  1. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Weird. Maybe it was a problem with the application initially that they've since fixed? I sent mine out July 19, so maybe that earliness accounts for the issue. I'll resend mine as soon as it allows me...

  2. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    @dedicatedone - well, it's not clear. On the one hand, they say that they want to *receive* all of your application materials by September 1 (e.g. "MEPN applicants must take the GRE, and these scores...

  3. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think this is something that they only confirm with you after you've locked your application (i.e. they then confirm with you that they've received your GREs, transcripts and any other supporting...

  4. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm having this problem too! Thanks for mentioning it here - none of my recommenders had contacted me to let me know they hadn't received it, so I would have been in the dark about the whole

  10. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Oh man. The application website just changed it's message, from saying the app would be available today to saying: "The Graduate Application is currently being upgraded and will be available again...

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey myelin! It's sounds like you have a strong background - I think it's just all about how you present your experience, rather than how many hours of patient contact you have. I have research...

  12. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I thought for sure the app would be up today...I really don't get it. UCSF's app is due before every other school that I've heard of, and they give you the shortest time in which to complete the...

  14. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    LookingAhead replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I totally agree re: the GREs. There are a lot of aspects of these applications that I think are just boxes to be checked - the "scores/stats". A few years ago I was on the selection committee for a...

  15. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Having seen a few examples of people's UCSF essays, my understanding was that in the past they required two essays - a goal statement, and a personal history statement. Then last year, I believe they...

    Haha, love how we're all on the same threads, cpsnap! Hopefully we'll get to be classmates at one place or

  17. 2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Ugh, annoying. I've been trying to work on my essays without the app being open, but at this point I have to just wait until it does. The personal history statement is one thing, but without knowing...

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks, czyja - you're really a help on these boards! You're right - stressing over Cantonese vs. Mandarin is probably a little...obsessive. But Cantonese is so awesome that I'll probably just learn...

    LookingAhead replied to LookingAhead's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi cpsnap! As for being good on the language front, I'm not sure. I went to an info session where I asked a professor if it could be useful that I speak Mandarin and she was like "Well...yeah...". :)...

  22. Columbia ETP Program 2012 entry

    LookingAhead replied to melevang's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi co-hopefuls! FYI, there are now *TWO* deadlines for the ETP program! There is actually an "early decision" deadline, like you remember from undergrad days. :) I had an informational interview at...

  23. The role of CNMs in abortion care

    LookingAhead replied to cthomson's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I'm actually still wondering if anyone has answers to the OP's original question: does anyone known of any schools where abortion provision is included in the CNM

    LookingAhead replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    One more question on this, cu1234 - I had heard that one reason it is good to have the dual certification is because it may be easier to get a job. I think I read on another thread that if the...
