UCLA MECN 2017

Published

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?

Hi,

I wish I saw this thread last year. I applied without going to the info session, just winged it tbh.

I didn't expect to get this far, but I am happy even if I am on the waitlist. I wish they could tell us the latest date for admission :(

Have you checked your decision status?

(in the program now) -- We had a student join our cohort literally in the first week who was on the wait list. So technically, it ran all the way up until the first week of class!

Hello,

It still states, "To date, no decision has been made on your application."

I asked RF for the latest date, and she said that she cannot provide that information right now. Just trying to stay positive! :)

Is anyone planning on taking Epidemiology at UCB Extension? It's a lot cheaper than UCLA!

Hi all! Also found out I got into the UCLA MECN program on 2/15. Saw that someone was talking about making a FB page for the cohort, was wondering if anyone had the link to that or if anyone had already made one?

Congrats to everyone who got in!

Hey, quick question. Where would someone check their graduate link?

Hi everyone, I don't see a current FB group so I created one for UCLA MECN Class of 2019. Please feel free to join!

Hi CZTRN!

Thanks for making that FB page. I saw that the UC Berkeley Extension offers an online course..just wondering have you checked with anyone over at UCLA if the online course would suffice?

If it's online and it's cheaper it seems like a great alternative to taking Nursing 50 at UCLA.

they do accept the UCB course...I'm planning to take it instead of Nursing 50 it's at least half the price
