UCI MEPN Fall 2020

Published

Hi Everyone,

Didn't see a forum for UCI's MEPN Fall 2020 application cycle so I thought I would start one! I'll introduce myself:

Recent grad from undergrad. Relatively low GPA but large amount of clinical experience as a research assistant at a large hospital. Hoping it will help me. Good luck to everyone applying!

Does anyone know how long apart the waves were for the interview notifications last year?

Specializes in None.

Last year, I read there were two waves of interviews and that is what I am hoping for. That is my first choice school. You can search for a similar thread but for the last year and read the replies

I have a really specific problem.

I received an interview invitation last week. And then the same day I got a really bad case of laryngitis, and effectively I haven't been able to speak loudly/properly for a few days. I'm trying to drink tea and minimize talking so i can do my interview recording, but I'm a little worried I won't have my voice back in time to complete it by the deadline.

I emailed the nursing department about this, but haven't heard back. Any advice?

I feel this I’ve been fighting an awful cold the past few days. What did you end up doing? I’m trying to rest up today so I can prepare and get it done tomm

Has anyone else received an update from UCI? (for those who didn't receive an interview invite)

No, have not heard back anything yet.

Me neither. Hoping there is a second round of interviews.

I did it on Wednesday and I was at about 75% vocal capacity. I totally bombed, but it's OK. I got into one school in SoCal already so if it doesn't work out here, I won't be crushed.

Do y'all think they will send out a second wave of interview invites this week since it seems like those that got an invite already completed theirs?

Specializes in None.

Can anyone share if they took the interview if the practice question the same, similar, or different from real questions on the interview platform?

For those of you who interviewed can you please share the format of the interview? Were you able to view the questions before recording your video? Thank you so much

Hello! so basically, you get to look at the questions for about 1 minute before you answer the question. once you do a little brainstorming, you can record you answer for about 2-3 minutes! Hope that helps!
