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?
Thanks wanjirs13! Another question. I see on UCLA's website that three LOR are required. If I have someone fill out the 4th, is that OK? Will admissions even look at it?
Hi all! A little late to the game, but I found myself scrambling for confirmation to double check before I hit submit on my application. It is my understanding that we are only required to submit a "Statement of Purpose" and we do not need to submit a "Personal History Statement". Is this correct? And have others just submitted one and not the other? Is there anyone who has submitted both?
Just got a little neurotic about it given the deadline is so close and i need some validation :)

Thank you everyone, and best of luck!
I submitted both. I figured if it's not necessary then no one reads it and no harm no foul. But if it is necessary and I didn't do it then it would be a problem. I honestly appreciated the opportunity to write something in addition to my sop
One more question! I wanted to confirm that the deadline for letters of recommendation isn't until January, is that correct? I've sent the notices out, however am worried that they may not all make it in time for the application deadline. I want to affirm the extra time they have to write a quality letter.

I think around March/April, I know the Transcripts and LORs are due Jan 15 so definitely after that.
