UCLA MECN 2016

Published

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 :)

Not sure about the cost. In fact, the cost for the whole program is a little confusing to me if anyone could illuminate me on that one. Is it like $48,000 for the first year only? Does that include predicted housing costs?

If you take epi somewhere other than UCLA just make sure they accept it! :D

I think the tuition is only $19K a year.. I'm sure the rest is just living costs, which is about right.. especially if you want to live in Westwood. It's a little cheaper in Santa Monica (which sounds ridiculous just saying it) but you can get decent places in Culver City. But.. do you want to deal with traffic? Cause it really is that bad...

@mrisajne,

Wow...you are getting it! When is your expected graduation date? Are you going to be able to finish all those courses by summer or end of spring?

Hi guys/girls just found this thread, congrats to those who got accepted!! I'm on the waitlist, but don't know my ranking #. I'm a little scared to email R to ask for it. Does anyone know how many people are on the waitlist?

@mjnurse2020...No idea, but there's plenty on this thread for sure. You can start reading from the 16th or the 17th and it should give you an estimate, but only from this thread. Keep in mind there's others that are not on here as well. Good luck! I hope you get in.

Hi guys!

I received a somewhat confusing e-mail today from Rhonda. It says the School of Nursing has "recommended to the Graduate Division of UCLA that I be admitted" but that final admissions decisions are made by the Graduate Division/I should receive an official acceptance in 2-3 weeks.

For all of the people saying they were accepted, is this the same e-mail you got? Also, where are you guys checking on the UCLA portal to see your acceptance status?

Thank you!

@kmhucd No, mine said that I have been offered admission to the MECN program. That I should receive something "official" soon. The portal hasn't been updated for me.

hey! That's what my email said too. It's my understanding that we have been admitted to the program. My email said: "It is a pleasure to inform you that the School of Nursing has recommended to the Graduate Division of UCLA that you be admitted to the Master's Entry Clinical Nursing Program beginning Fall Quarter, 2016. Please be advised that FINALadmission decisions are made by the UCLA Graduate Division. You should receive the OFFICIAL notification from the UCLA Graduate Divisions within 2 – 3 weeks"

my understanding is that this means the nursing program has accepted us and wants us but the graduate division technically needs to approve it, and why wouldn't they? Every school does this where you get accepted into the program but then "final acceptance" comes from the university. It's a formality. If someone lied about their transcripts or something and they didn't really have a bachelors then the university would turn them down. Otherwise why would they override the nursing programs decision, ya know?

do folks agree with my understanding of this?

I think R is just giving us a heads up email because the graduate division website isn't sending out the acceptances as fast as they should or something. That explains why some peoples portals haven't been updated, myself included.

I did see those, thank you! Hopefully we find out soon. I'm trying my best to be patient.

I don't think anyone's portals have been updated? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I will have the classes for my current major completed by the end of spring, but I'll finish up the prereqs for nursing in the summer. Or maybe I'll space out my major's classes into summer so I don't have to take so many units Spring quarter. Not sure, but I'll have it all done before the program begins if admitted.

Have you heard anything yet? Do you know how long it will be until we find out?

I also just found a paper from the MECN info session this past summer stating that Fall Quarter 2016 begins September 19 - Instruction begins Sept 22
