UCLA MECN Fall 2014?

Published

Hi- Is anyone applying to UCLA's MECN program for next fall?

Well, maybe I'm trying too hard to be positive. I don't know :/

Yeah, the last year's forum had so many more "I got accepted" posts as time went on!

Right Robyn! That's what I'm going off of haha.

Right but I'm sure if people were accepted they'd come on and write!

Not everyone is as social as us!!! For the program I am going to attend - there are 30 spots and we have only id'd 20 people via Allnurses and Facebook.

I am just getting sad that after all this waiting and hoping, this may actually be the end of it for a lot of us. A silent, cruel end.

Just notice that the numbers are increasing for the waitlisters.....the first person to post said their spot is #8, then the next said #13. There should be 70 wait listed folks. Only thing I see that is not so positive is that they have ranked the wait listed people. You cannot rank them and then have MC send out his too. I think this is the step 2 and step 3 will be the rejections.

This was my thought process too. Also, many people either don't know about this forum or publicly posting their opinions (even if anonymous) just isn't their thing. There could be a ton of others admitted but we would really have no idea.

UCLA is known for rejecting good applicants with great GPAs and stellar resumes for others -- they really look for a specific image. I'm not giving up hope until they tell me I'm rejected, but I guess if UCLA doesn't think I'm a good fit for their program, then I'll have to accept that. It doesn't necessarily mean that I'm a bad student or that I'm not going to be a good nurse. Maybe I would excel more in a different program that's more "fit" for me anyway. I guess the rest of us just have to look at it this way. If you really want it, each one of you will be a nurse someday. We'll just be taking different roads to get there :)

Congrats to everyone accepted, and good luck to those waitlisted!!

I think this is the step 2 and step 3 will be the rejections. This was a banner year in applications - 600 people (I think I heard that many in a prior post). We cannot take it too personally. Every program has their own ideas of the students they want.

Hi there,

I've been lurking this forum also, but decided to post today! I can't bottle up my anxiety anymore lol.

But I do agree with @TLeeM. They can't rank those who are waitlisted if they divided the applications between 2 people. So all the acceptances must have been sent out already.

My hopes are diminishing, and I'm just expecting a denial already lol. :cry:

But at the same time, didn't the MSN group get their acceptances on different days? Just because it's ranked doesn't mean all acceptances have been sent. They probably already decided who was accepted, the ranking of the wait-list and the denials before sending any correspondence. They just have to contact people now, and with so many people and a short staff, maybe it takes a while.

Ok well lets test this out -- hello world reading the board! If any of you have received acceptances and haven't posted yet, would you mind saying hello? Thanks for helping a sister out.

Did the MSN group have any waitlisters notified yet?

They have not received any wait list notifications though either.
