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?
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!!!!!!
last year they got to #28 on the waitlist.....your chances are probably pretty good
Hi! I just received an email about me being waitlisted too. I'm #11 on the alternate list but I heard usually alternates up to #25 make into the program so congrats!
I still have to think about it but I am most likely going to decline an offer. So there's one more spot available for other alternates!

Congrats! Hopefully everyone else should be hearing back soon!
It's Columbia University's MDE program. Hopefully they get back to us soon. *crosses fingers*
Hey! I'm also deciding between UCLA and Columbia, but leaning more toward Columbia. --I was wondering what your thoughts were? Is it mostly the price that turns you away from NYC? I'm trying to decide if that much debt is worth it :/
Looking at last years forum, it looks like they were starting to hear about acceptances/waitlist/denials around this time. Hopefully it'll be the same for us! If anyone receives any updates please share them here!
I actually remembered your post on the Columbia thread & looked it up & e-mailed you my thoughts. I have a realllyy long answer so I thought it'd be better to just e-mail it to you. I hope that's okay!!
