UCLA MECN FALL 2013

[ldytrjn]

Have been looking around and haven't really seen a topic on this yet. This is my dream school/program. I am from Seattle so I am having to get a lot of info from them long-distance instead of going to an information session. Has anyone gone to an information session yet?

Just found out I was accepted for Fall. Joined the Facebook page. Excited for what's ahead. Trying to find a way to take an epi course without taking it at UCLA. Let me know if anyone has any online courses they know of. I saw that the ucla extension has an online class offered this spring. Dont know if that counts. Thanks

Congrats!! What is the online class offered through ucla extension called?

For those on the waitlist...I got the email back confirming that I want to hold my place on the waitlist. Included in the email was information on taking Epidemiology. Are any of you signing up for that now or waiting until you know that you got into the program?

Good question, because if you end up dropping the class, $150 of the fee is non-refundable. I wasn't sure at first because I don't know the odds of alternates getting accepted. But I might sign up this week anyway because I hate the uncertainty of getting shut out of that class if I end up getting accepted :/

Hey Waitlist folks...please let us know as you get accepted and what number you were, and if they called or emailed you! Also, regarding the EPI course...has anyone taken the course from BYU? (or at least know anyone who has taken it from BYU?) If so, can you tell us about it, was it intense and/or do you recommend taking it?

I noticed a couple of people got their official acceptance letter from the graduate division, did anyone else get this as well? I haven't received anything yet, which is making me a bit nervous :/

Ok I guess these letters are being sent out at different times. I'll just have to wait to make it "official" :)

I got mine very early as well.

FYI - if you post on the Facebook group wall it will show up on your timeline. So I won't be posting on there until I let work know :)

Another update from the School of Nursing regarding approved epidemiology courses for the MECN program (specifically for those who are considering taking "Health 345" online through Brigham Young University). Health 345 is offered both on-campus at BYU, and online. I emailed the School of Nursing to confirm that the online version is acceptable, since it would not include any lab hours (as the on-campus version might). This is the response I got:

"The online version is acceptable. Please be advised that last year some students did not get their final grades in time. Check with BYU to make sure you will finish the course and be able to submit a final transcript to University of California, Los Angeles School of Nursing no later than the end of August."

Something to take into account, if you are considering taking this course!

Thanks for the info. I'm taking physio at UCLA from Aug - Sept so I will check to make sure I get grades in time. It was as a possible prereq on the outstanding prereq paper that came w my acceptance letter so I'm hoping that means it does.

Any one who received acceptance letter hasn't received the email for. Graduate division ? I haven't received any email yet.
