UCLA MECN FALL 2013

U.S.A. California

Published

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?

We've waited 3 months, whats another 6 weeks ;)

Hello everyone!

I just had a quick question, I'm not quite ready to apply (still doing pre-reqs). I just have a quick question, UCLA is the only college that requires a second Chemistry class beyond Intro so I haven't taken it and I'm not sure I even am. I was thinking about just applying without it but I'm wondering what my chances are if I don't have it. I'm just thinking if no one else requires it I don't want to waste another class/semester on a long shot at UCLA anyways. I'm just wondering if anyone who has applied or has been accepted/denied admission is in a familiar boat?

I went to UCLA undergrad and would love to go back but if I can get into a A-BSN or even an ADN program quicker, without another Chemistry class, I'll probably just do that.

Any information, thank you!

Hi Binky16

I applied for fall 2013 and I put intro to chemistry as my chem prereq. i was contacted by an admissions officer that i needed a higher level of chemistry than that. I took gen chem 1 and asked them if that would be enough. Since it was a series I was told that I needed gen chem 2 instead. The good thing is that I had both of them because im a bio major and took 3 years of chemistry, so my grades were readily available. You should contact them to double check and to make sure that the chemistry you took is more than enough to satisfy their prereqs. they are very nice people and will answer the questions in a very nice and timely manner ( i speak from experience).

Hi Superfryk

i got emails from them regarding my application as being complete and also to let me know that i need to post when a bachelors degree and to take epidemiology during summer at ucla if i get accepted. i think the most wrenching email that i got was from ---------- telling me that they were going to evaluate my application but for some reason the system was not allowing them to download my statement of purpose. i was asked to resend it again. this was a week ago. i had blocked myself from thinking about ucla's mecn until at least the beginning of march. knowing that they were going to be evaluating my application as soon as i resend them my sop, it is making me so nervous. Aaaaahhhhhh!!!!!

A lot of the community college in the LACC district- (Pierce, West LA, East LA, Valley, etc...) offer Chem 51 which is a 5 unit course that includes Organic, Biological, etc.... I know this covers ALL of the chem requirement- so I would double check your info- no need to take more than one Chem class if you dont need to!

I have been checking the following site. UCLA should be sending letter early to mid March (According to the previous years on allnurse.)
