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?
USD said one week after interview and i had my interview last week. Their deposit os=is $1000, so i gotta think twice before paying that. lol. i just wish UCLA will hasten up before i hear from USD. I also applied to UCI, and don't even know when i will hear from them.
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?
I personally think they will change the announcement time every year to ensure applicants don't hold them to a time frame. Last year they started mid Feb and the year before that they started at the end of Fed. The year before that they didn't notify til almost the end of march.
lol That's crazy. I guess we gotta keep waiting then.

Gah. The waiting is TORTURE! As of today 2/14, nothing has changed on my portal. Fingers crossed for everyone this cycle. I would be over the moon to just be waitlisted!
While y'all wait impatiently, I thought that you might enjoy a bit of positive encouragement. I graduated from the Master of Nursing program at UCLA in 1986. Yes, that was before some of you were born. I have found that "UCLA" on my resume has gotten more respect than I would have ever expected! Take advantage of every opportunity offered to you at UCLA, as you may not realize at the time the value of them. Pour yourself into the program and I am confident that you will benefit from the program. Remember that your favorite teams will be UCLA and whomever is playing against USC! Good Luck!
I received an E-mail saying i have been waitlisted. i am #17. I feel like dying right now because there is no way 16 people are going to reject their admission. All i pray is that USD gives me admission. OMG!!!!!!
Wow, congrats @amzytubies!!! I would be THRILLED to even be considered on the waitlist! Better than a flat out rejection! Lol. Crossing fingers for you, you never know, other people may consider another school and your chances will be higher.
And to the rest of us, I'm praying I get into at least just one of the schools I applied to!
