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?

STAFF UPDATE

Tell us about UCLA by visiting University of California (UCLA) School of Nursing | Peer Reviews.

yeah. I was initially #17, but emailed Rhonda today and she said I'm now #6

Thanks for the update! It is reassuring to hear that they are going through the waitlist so fast, but I have a feeling it might be slowing down soon.

I am sure in time you will get a spot. :)

Hey, where did you get that cost estimate? It definitely seems off, based on some sheets from UCLA's information sessions...

I think they are talking about the cost for USD

oh okay. The financial aid office sent it to me as my total cost for a year. It is inclusive of everything including housing and feeding.

that is the cost of USD not UCLA, its a private school so its pricier than most programs

Aha.. I'm quite the impatient person, but I wonder if all slots have been filled yet. :cyclops:

Does anyone know what's going on with the waitlist? It seems like the acceptances/waitlist slowed by since last week.
