UCLA MECN Fall 2014?

Teena39 · Apr 23, 2014

Well I just emailed both --------- and -------------- and I got a quick response as well stating I was not offered admission. Seriously so unprofessional. I can just imagine all the people that don't follow this forum still waiting for their response as well. Little do they know that it probably wont even come at all unless they take the initiative to send an email!

You would figure by now they would re-send that mass email full of rejections since we're all bombarding them with emails.

Yes, to everyone who asked, I did e-mail them directly. I asked them why I hadn't received my e-mail as it was already Tuesday evening. I got a response this morning with that pathetic "sorry!" at the end. I thought that was an incredibly rude and unprofessional way to have responded.

whelp, looks like im going to Western! hopefully this process doesnt bitter the success and admissions into other schools for everyone.

good luck to you!

Well count me among the ranks who decided to finally email ----------- in order to obtain an official rejection. He apologetically emailed back with the (unsurprising) news that I was not admitted.

Last year I would have anticipated being completely distraught at the news, but it stings A LOT less than I thought it would. I couldn't have chosen a better year to be rejected. Time for a glass of wine LOL

So, for fun I decided to email (both at the same time) as well. After I sent a rather polite email here is all I got: I’m sorry to inform you that you were not offered admissions.

Wow. Nothing else? They really couldn't come up with a better standard response? How about using the email verbiage that was supposed to have been sent to us by the graduate division? I would hope that was a bit more polite. I really wish everyone the best and hope this process becomes a distant memory for everyone.

As many have stated already, I suggest emailing them. I emailed ------------ and got a quick reply. I didn't get in, but at this point, I'm just glad to finally know one way or the other. Was pretty much expecting a 'no' since it was this late anyways.

number 8 is off the wait list and accepted!!!! Not to be insensitive because I am sorry that all of you guys are finding out this way, just thought I also share some good new.

Emailed them and got the same short rude reply as everyone else. I'm not surprised at all but I'm still sad about it. I'm pretty much at a loss about where to go from here. I don't have much going for me at the moment so yeah...

Hi all,

I just wanted to chime in again. #68 on the waitlist here. I felt pretty devastated the first day, but am feeling a new sense of purpose on how I can make my application stronger for next year (although I will not be reapplying to UCLA). I want to do CNA/EMT training, get paid hospital experience, and continue with volunteer work. In the long run of life, beginning nursing school either this year or next year won't make a difference. And there is such a need for nurses, UCLA is not the end all and be all by just churning out 60 or so a year. It sucks and it is hard but we will all be fine. I remember when I was in middle school I was crushed about not getting into my two first choices for high school (yep, big fat rejections). And then it was when I applied to a new school as a sophomore, I got in and met the love of my life who I'm still with today. So, when one door closes, new, amazing doors can open. Sorry to be sharing platitudes, but it is what has helped me get through the initial devastation and sadness :/ If we all care this much, we are going to be great, great nurses. This just gives some of us more time to prepare...and more opportunities previously unconsidered...I think, at least.

Just got my rejection, took long enough

TLeeM · Apr 23, 2014

Just got the official email directing me to the rejection letter on the app status page. Closure.

@hill3032 DO NOT worry about our feelings in all this!! Congratulations on getting off the wait list and in the cohort! Enjoy the program. We all have our paths.
