I got in too! My last name starts with F. My wife graduated from the program in 2011. She didn't take NCLEX until after she graduated but she did find a job before she graduated and now works as a nurse at UCLA.

@tiffanybui me too. A lot of people got accepted today. it makes me wonder if everyone else including me are just wait listed or rejected :(. I'm sure there are a lot more acceptances than those posted.

@wildcat2009, everyone got contacted via email today so it doesn't matter where you're from.

Hi all, I also received an email at 2:40 pm today letting me know I was admitted. I'll be turning down my spot as I've already accepted an offer from another school. Good luck to all those still waiting to hear back! Oh, and my last name starts with T and I'm from California if that matters.

I haven't given up hope yet but am already preparing myself for the worst. I am a bit older. I got married at 18 and had a child at 19. I graduated from UCLA but my choice to not complete my education before having a family put me way behind my classmates. I now have 2 kids and 3 stepkids. 3 of them are college age and one a HS senior and one in 5th grade. So far none of them have chosen college. The GPA I applied with was about a 3.0. Nothing I can do can change this. However, I work 2 jobs and have kids and took Stats, Microbio, and Physiology this last year evenings and earned all A's. I have done research for 12 years and made the switch to clinical research to gain clinical experience about a year ago. I also have 3 amazing (and I do mean amazing) references and have done enough community and global volunteer work to make your head spin (not for points on an app but because that's what I love). The hardest part to me facing being rejected is letting my kids down. You see I wanted them to see by my example that hard work and perseverance pay off. The competition for jobs and even to go to college is so tough these days and I wanted to prove to them if you try hard enough, work hard enough, have your heart in the right place anything can happen. That's what kills me is that they may see me being rejected after all they have witnessed me go through in the last year and feel like why should they try? I won't give up. I can't give up because I have an audience of 5 who really look up to me. If I accept defeat I fail them. Just trying to hang on and hoping if I am rejected that I have the energy and motivation to start over taking the GRE and having to retake many classes I have already taken because they require them to be more recent to apply to other programs. I need a glass of wine! lol

Oh no, I haven't received any notifications whatsoever. I have a terrible feeling they've emailed everyone they've accepted today... but someone did quote a staff member as saying we will all know in the next couple of days. My tummy hurts....

@nna2928 me too exactly... would have loved to go back to UCLA :cry: just don't give up hope yet, maybe we still have a chance :)

@robyntakesiteasy I'm starting to think the same thing too. I felt like I was about to throw up for a good three hours at work :scrying: This anticipation is definitely making it worse...

I have kept in touch with a professor at UCLA Extension from one of my prerequisites, and he said that while he doesn't know about nursing, with other schools at UCLA, various staff members are responsible for getting back to different piles of applicants. It sounds like everyone so far has heard from RF, but perhaps that's because she finished her pile sooner than others? Just a thought...

My decision status still says "no decision has been made" :(
