UA MEPN 2020

Updated:   Published

Hi everyone,

I'm considering MEPN application to the UofA next year. I've been in touch with the advisor, Chris Sogge, for the past 3 years. I have a B.S. in Computer Science and a M.Sc. in Biology from Canada . Chris said that I need a pre-req GPA of 3.7 at least to get into the program; mine is 3.3. Do I stand any chances? Did anyone get in with lower pre-req grades? I'm trying to juggle pre-req taking with a toddler. Thanks so much for your advice!

Has anyone figured out castlebranch login? I was searching for 20+ minutes today and there is no direction on how to create an account, or any package codes, etc. Please let us know if someone finds out!

I talked to Chris a few days ago about Castle branch since I ran into the same issue. He said there are no instructions to sign up because they have not yet been sent. On other programs, there is an order code that we will need specific to our school.

I haven’t received the email but logged on to the graduate application website & saw my acceptance there ?‍♀️

Thanks for posting this. I hadn’t even thought about doing that, and went to check and it looks like I was accepted as well.

Hello everyone I'm new here!

I got accepted into the Phoenix location and I'm trying to make a switch to Tucson. Let me know if you or if you know anyone who wants to swap locations!

Did you find out if you were able to switch places? Or do you have to wait until a certain timeframe?

As of right now I'm still placed in Phoenix. It depends if anyone declines from Tucson and my ranking. They told me it is a possibility so I'm crossing my fingers.

Hi everyone! I have not accepted my admission yet and am wondering if there is a deposit/how much it is?

No deposit. You already paid your application fee when you applied. But if you have not applied to the Graduate School the application is $80. Acceptance is due tomorrow! Good luck!

Thank you!!

Hey!

Does anyone know if there is an official Facebook group for the 2020 MEPN cohort? It would be cool to start connecting with everyone and to figure out the whole on-boarding process together.

That is a great idea! I do not think anyone has set one up yet... but I would love to join if someone does!! I am not the most FaceBook savvy otherwise I would try to set it up haha

I think last year they mentioned that CON might set up the group, but I'm not 100%.

Congrats to all future MEPNers! Especially the Phoenix cohort! Amazing facilities to work with, along with great clinical placements. Good luck!
