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?
while you guys are waiting for the app to open, pls don't forget to edit your essay. Let some people read it, your boss/professors or even your classmates. Remember theres no interview, so....that statement/essay is your ticket to UCLA. Make sure its remarkable and outstanding essay. So good luck and have fun.
BTW.. if you have any questions feel free to holler.. I just started my cohort.
I have a bunch of question. Like I earlier said, do you know being denied before helps one's application. Then is there anyhow I can view a sample of your essay. Pls pls.. I'm so nervous. Have completed all prerequisite except epidemiology.
not sure if being denied will help you increase your chances, but I recommend to rewrite your essay. They probably know who you are and show them that you don't give up. Focus on your work or volunteer experience and explain why do you want to be a nurse. Try not to be dramatic about it, but make it sound promising.

thanks!!! I have done that. People are vetting it for me
Pls everyone, can a lawyer write a recommendation letter for me?. Wanna know
its up to you who you use... They did say at the info session that if the person says they know you as a friend it will hurt you.
I'm using a Nurse Practitioner I work with in the ER, a Chief Nursing Officer, and the Regional director of the Clinical Care Extender program that I volunteer through
