Published

Hi everyone!

I'm starting this new thread for those interested in applying to UC Davis's Master's Entry Program Summer 2021 program. Hoping this will be a space where we all can ask questions/connect.

Hope you are all staying healthy!

I'm starting to fill out the experiences part in NursingCAS. Are y'all just bullet-pointing the description or writing in complete sentences? I'm assuming this is similar to what they would see in your resume

Yup, I'm doing bullet points similar to a resume. How is everyone's SoP coming along?

Hi, can someone clarify the application process for me? I'm a bit confused.

From my understanding applicants initially apply through NursingCAS and then get invited to apply again through Davis' Graduate School?

So we apply twice? We have to write two statements of purposes?

I'm a bit confused as well, but it does appear that you apply twice. Once for the nursing program and if you are accepted, you apply for graduate studies.

What I'm more confused about is that there are people in the 2020 thread replying that they just received a rejection letter over the last few days. Wouldn't the 2020 cohort already be one month in? I thought classes started early June?

we were the waitlisted group- I was offered the waitlist position in late January. They don’t tell you what number you are on the list but rather “a group of candidates that are then looked over & selected once a position opens” The waitlist position stays until the beginning of the semester incase positions open. I was then told last week that I had been officially rejected. It’s basically a year long process waiting to see if you have a chance. I wish I could apply again but I don’t have the public speaking requirement, that’s a new one since last year. Good luck guys!!

Hello everyone, I’m applying to this program as well as UCSF. I wish December-March will hurry up and get here, but I know it’s in the universe’s hands now. Best of luck to everyone!

Hi Monica! Sorry, I am a bit confused, did you apply without the public speaking requirement for the 2020 cohort? I didn't take that class however I took something equivalent. I was also part of the waitlisted group for this year's cohort and received my rejection letter a few weeks ago. I ended up reapplying for next year!

I applied last year without the public speaking, as it wasn’t part of the required classes that needed to be met! ?

If you don't mind, could you tell me where you got this information from? ?

I am a bit worried now since I reapplied to the program without the public speaking ?

It looks like the last prerequisite on the UC Davis MEPN website is listed as "Communication (must include group, verbal and written principles)". The "group" portion of this prerequisite is satisfied by a public speaking course. I'm not sure if there are other courses that would satisfy this or not. Technically, you need three courses to satisfy the communication prerequisite. One for group (e.g. public speaking course), one for verbal (e.g. interpersonal communication) and one for written (e.g. University writing). At least that's what I did.
