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 was wondering did UCLA MECN program hold any interviews for the fall 2017. I was reading in past forum and I don't see anything about interview dates. Just curious? Congratulations in getting accepted!
They don't interview. They consider the statement of purpose your interview
Has anyone else heard anything today? I've been checking my email every hour. Such a tease when they aren't sent out simultaneously, one can only speculate. I guess patience is a virtue
Congrats to all those accepted! Hopefully the rest of us will be hearing back soon. I'm hoping they are sending out acceptances in waves like some of you have been saying.
Anyways, here's an update for admission statuses so far:
Hi everyone! I was accepted to the program yesterday as well! Congratulations on everyone who got accepted, and good luck to everyone who is still waiting :) Has anyone thought about housing options yet?

Thanks for keeping track @nsc95! The waiting game is getting me more anxious every day! Congrats again to those who have been accepted! Prayers and best of luck to the rest of us!!
Congrats to all of you who have been accepted. I received my offer this morning to the FNP program. I cried like a baby. I was also checking every hour or so. Best wishes to everyone still waiting. It's going to be amazing.
I'm creating a closed group UCLA MSN/APN class of 2019 closed group so we can join, get to know each other and keep in communication if any future Bruins are interested in joining. Congrats to each of you future Bruins.
