UC Davis MEPN 2020

Hi hockeystic,

I'm so glad you started this thread! I'm also planning on applying to UCD MEPN this year, and I'm super excited! I've been drafting a general "why nursing?" base PS, but will tailor it more once the application opens. Will you also be applying to other programs as well? ?

Thanks for starting this thread!
I also plan on applying during this application cycle. However, I am struggling with finding a class that covers their communications requirements to complete by the end of this summer.
Do you mind sharing which classes you took/ and where in order to meet the (group) COMM course?
For my personal statement, I'm focusing on "why nursing" as well for now.

Hi ? I actually applied to Sierra College because of the location, and I am thinking about applying to Samuel Merritt as well but haven’t taken the HESI yet. You?

Hi Haron717, I took group communications (Comm 3) at Sierra College and interpersonal communications at Sac State. I don’t remember which one they required but one of these will fulfill it. They also have a contact email where you can ask them specific questions and they have gotten back to me within 24 to 48 hours in the past ?

Hello all,

I'll also be applying this year! Good luck to us!

What are your majors?

UCD will be the first from my school list to open their application. I plan to apply to mostly public schools like UCSF, UCLA, and UCI!

I'm in a similar boat! To satisfy their group requirement, I'm planning on taking a 5-week-long interpersonal communications course at San Diego Mesa College! I echo what @hockeystic about taking advantage of their contact email to make sure a course will qualify. ?

I got my BS in Kinesiology with an emphasis in exercise and movement sciences at SFSU

Thank you all for your suggestions. I contacted UCD and found out that I already met the COMM requirements! :)

I majored in Public Health.

Do you think you will have your transcripts for this course before the application deadline on 8/1?

I believe so. I expressed this concern over e-mail to a couple of instructors, and they told me it'd be more than enough time. Definitely cutting it close but it's the best I can do.
