UCLA MECN 2016

[knenopoulos]

Hey there, I am planning on applying to the UCLA MECN 2016 program and was wondering if anyone else out there was applying as well. Just curious about other applicants and hoping to go through this application process with some other people! Would love any feedback. Thanks :)

Hey all,

Just found this thread and thought I would input my info to help or get help. Just got the news unexpectedly today (2/17 @ 8:30am) that I was waitlisted. Received a generic email that asked me to confirm my offer to be waitlisted. In my response, I asked for my rank number and if I would find out when they no longer are accepting waitlisters. Got a reply from RF that just said "36."

Feeling pretty blue. Based on the research I've done, doubt I'll get bumped out to in from 36, but determined to try again. Really poor right now and not sure if registering for Epi is a good idea at this spot. Need to sleep on it.

Best of luck to all of you and all feedback is really appreciated

No worries...don't be scared. You Will Definitely Hear Something By This Week For Sure. Hang in there and be positive! There's still a spot waiting for you!

Just got an email from Rhonda about the wait list, I think it is ok to ask for your rank # so you can plan accordingly. I wouldn't email after that though.

Don't wait too long to enroll into the classes you need, they are filling up quickly.

@mrisajne,

IF you don't mind sharing...was it a higher or lower number?

[mrisajne]

It was higher, so this morning I registered for 3/4 class I need and that's how I saw how quickly things were filling up. If you think you might get in I would just register and forget about the $150 non-refundable fee..

@mrisajne,

Ok. Thanks for the information! Are you taking the outstanding courses, or just registering for classes within the program? Also, when did you find out that you were waitlisted?

[Luv4God]

@RXtobeRn27

How's it coming along? Have you heard anything yet on your end?

[RXtobeRn27]

@luv4god.... no breaking news yet.. don't wanna bug her... just patiently waiting...

@risajane ... what classes are trying to get in?

[RXtobeRn27]

@luv4god.. what about you.. any news? updates?

[mrisajne]

I found out yesterday I was wait listed, and yes, I do have outstanding courses that I need to take. I actually still need to take anatomy, physio, epi and biostats (which I'm going to take in Spring). I wouldn't be able to take courses for the program, I haven't graduated yet and still need to take prereqs for the program. I actually don't even know if you can start early to be honest...

@mrisajane... thats a heavy load you got there ... more power to you... glad u got waitlisted...

Rhonda emailed me that I was accepted into the program I think the graduate portal is messing up because all decisions have been made I believe. She said that I should receive official information aka admission notice "soon".
