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?
Is anyone NOT attaching a resume? I don't plan on attaching one. For those of you who ARE attaching it, did you get guidance from the admissions committee that the resume is expected? Thank you!
Kind of strange how we're unable to preview the attachments (transcripts, resume, essay, etc) we've uploaded to Decision desk isn't it? For those of you who have submitted, is it visible in the final 'receipt'?

Yes, all attachments are visible on the submitted app
Does anyone know about disclosing SSN on the application? Under the Application Disclosure section it says SSN disclosure is mandatory. I did not see/remember a part of the application that asks for SSN. Am I just not seeing it or is it not there? Or does it just mean that if you are accpted then you would need to disclose SSN?
Tigerlilym8, this is just my own speculation -- you should definitely get the final word from the admissions folks -- I think the application form would accept any nine-digit number. The SSN would become critical when you are accepted and must complete the background check. However, if your transcripts show a different name than your application name, then your SSN would be used as the identifier. Anyway let us know what you find out! I'm curious.
Did you apply? Where does the application form accept a 9 digit number? I didn't see a section that has SSN, so I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what part of the application it was in or if there isn't a spot for it. Thanks!
