Hey, I am currently getting ready to apply to the UCLA MECN program. I went to UCLA yesterday to meet with the nursing advisor and since I have 2 C's, one in psych and one in Stats, she advised me to repeat one of them because I can't have more than one C on my transcripts. I plan on taking Micro this fall. In terms of work experience, I work with an agency facilitating care for end of life patients. I really want to get into the UCLA program but I will also be applying to CSULA, CSUN, CSUCI, CSUSM and USF, Western and
Anyway, I just wanted to create a thread for those applying same time as I so we can discuss. Fyi I will be attending the info session on July 26!
I really want to specialize though so I'm kind of bummed that the MECN doesn't offer a specialty, I would have to do a post-masters program.
How many classes can you have in progress when applying?
If a class is repeated, do they average the two or disregard the lower grade totally?
How much is the program in total?
Do MECN graduates make more in terms of salary than BSNs?
Does anyone know if UCLA MECN does a newly admitted students day after acceptance letters are sent out? I tried looking at previous threads but I did not see any mention of them.
Did you know that you can check your application status online?
when I checked it said no decisions have been made on my application.
Go to:
Appstatus.grad.ucla.edu
yea I have checked, I'm pretty sure that we get an automatic email from the grad division once a letter has been loaded there, telling us to check our status. In previous years most of the students have gotten an email from Rhonda before the portal is updated
I must admit it feels awkward, but I'll dive in...
I have a bachelors from Juilliard, a masters from Rice Univ.and another from NYU. Nursing is a huge career change for me. I volunteer at cedars-Sinai, I'm a CNA, and I recently returned from a medical mission to Cambodia where I taught bls and CPR.
when exactly are we supposed to hear from them. I applied to USD too, so i wish to hear from both within the same time frame to enable me make my decision.

All the school has said is mid-march. Last year they said that but it was this week in February. If you need a less vague time frame maybe MC or RF at the school would give you a better idea, if you're willing to contact them?
