UA MEPN 2018

Published

Hey everyone! I know the application deadline is a ways off, but I just wanted to get a forum started for those of us who plan on applying to the MEPN program for 2018! I have all my prerequisites finished and just have to take the HESI. I already took the TEAS for some other schools and scored very well, so I'm not too concerned about HESI as I hear it is a much easier exam without any science content required by UA. Has anyone already taken it? What did you think and how did you prepare? My last 60 units GPA is a 3.80 and my prerequisite GPA is a 3.96. I'm a little nervous about the interview as I have heard in the past it is very short- about ten minutes of talking time. I'll have to figure out how to eloquently but succinctly express my preparation for nursing school and interest in the field. Good luck everyone!!

Accepted to Phoenix :)

Welcome to the Phx family!

I GOT INTO TUCSON!!! I hope everyone got into the school they wanted, everyone was so professional during the interviews and looked amazing so I bet it was a really hard decision to make!

I think the CON starts one for the cohort (Phx and Tucson)

Usually each cohort has their own page and then there is an overall MEPN page. I believe that the admission email or an email you get shortly after will have the link to the MEPN page. Just FYI, lots of former graduates will sell their books for a nice package price on there. One of my friends just posted some yesterday. So once you get access -- keep you eye out if you want to save some $$$$$. Good luck everyone!

First of all, a HUGE congratulation to everyone who got accepted. That is fantastic and I am so happy for all of you :)

For those who are on the alternate list, I am on the same boat with you. During Q&A session, I was told that we still have a good chance of getting in. I remain hopeful for us.

For applicants who did not get in this cycle, please do not be discouraged. Dreams do not come easy, as long as we give ourselves a yes, many external noes would not matter.

Best of luck to everyone for your journeys ahead!

This is for those of you on the alternate list. I was in your shoes 2 years ago, feeling frustrated because you have no idea where on the list you stand. I received a telephone call the very next day at work with an offer of acceptance to my choice location. Many of our cohort came off the wait list. Just be flexible and I recommend you approach this time and prepare like you are going. Get your shots and medical stuff done, just hold off on purchasing things like the uniforms. Do some research on housing, have a plan so that at worse case if you are that person that gets the call 2 days before orientation you are ready to go. I believe we had someone in the position and they even got to show up a day or so late. And just FYI, I did great -- I graduated this last August with a 4.0 and got a job in my unit of choice. So don't let it get you down. You will likely make it in and you will see that your place on the acceptance ladder will have no bearing on how you do in the program. And if you end up having to accept the other location that you wanted, be aware that you can let the CON know. We had a list of people who had gotten accepted into Phoenix but wanted Tucson. After 1st semester ended, several people had dropped or not made it and we ended up with 3 or 4 people that moved down to Tucson. So I would recommend that if you do end up in that position to take the spot and just get a short term lease and see what happens come fall semester. Good luck and keep the faith!

Congratulations to all!- I was admitted today to the Phoenix cohort. I look forward to meeting you all and sharing this journey! :)

I was wondering, does anyone have information about when the induction day/orientation would be? Just want to get a feel for the dates ahead of time. Thank you in advance!

Hello! Congrats to all. I was wait listed. Is there any way to find out where you stand on the wait list?

To current PHX students, do most people drive to campus? How is parking? Would it be better to bike?

Nope, they will not tell that information. Good luck, and I hope you hear soon.

Does anyone know the average wait time to find out if you have been admitted from the waitlist?
