UCI MEPN 2017

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hello, is there anyone else applying for the 2017 uci mepn programme? I completed my application like 2 weeks ago.

Congrats on those who were admitted! Wish you the best on your education to become well-trained clinicians. Unfortunately, I was placed on the waiting list (don't know which number). I have little hope of getting in considering it is going to be a small class.

Hello everyone,

Congrats to those who got accepted to this program! And good luck to those who are waitlisted!

I am planning to apply this program in the upcoming cycle. The emphasis of this program is exactly why I want to nursing in the first place. I know the competition is pretty stiff since UCI only accepts only a small class. Do you have any advice on the application process + interview? Thanks!

Hey mtroung,

Wish you the best on applying. I can honestly say that the application process is like all other nursing schools. Nothing unique. Just strive for a high GPA, a strong personal statement, and relevant work or volunteer or research experience. There is an interview, but it's like any other interview in that they ask you pretty standard stuff. Nothing tricky.

This is their first class, so I don't know how well their program is going to turn out. You should come back later when the cohort finishes a few quarters or their first year and get some feed back then. Also, look into other entry level programs. There are well established MEPN programs that have been doing this for years (e.g. UCLA and USD). I heard nothing but great things from these schools, and many students and close friends of mine were able to find jobs after graduating from the aforementioned schools and passing their boards.

UCI is pretty reputable, however. I'm confident the accepted students will be prepared. So you should definitely look into program and website. Ask them questions! They're pretty receptive. To give you perspective of how competitive it was, over 200 people had applied for 20 spots. 45 people were granted interviews. I don't know the number of waitlisted students. I would love to know who else is waitlisted and accepted offers. G'luck!

Has anyone on the waitlist heard anything? I emailed them about 12 days ago to ask if we were allowed to know our standing on the waitlist and have heard nothing from them :/
