Hi everyone!

I am planning on applying to UCLA's MECN program for 2021 and since I did not see a thread here yet I wanted to get one going for us to share questions and concerns. Good luck to everyone!

Good luck to us all!! ?

Just by looking at the UCLA academic calendar, fall quarter starts September 20, 2021. However not sure if that would be different for the MEPN program, I'm assuming there will some sort of orientation before hand.

Hey! So current mecn here, as long as you take it and finish the course before starting the program, you’re good! Many of us did the UC Berkeley extension online for about $450. Or you can take it at the school for about $2k. The school one turned online due to covid but that may change next Summer. ------------------------- had us enter the info onto the application like this: see attached picture. Hope that helps!

Hi everyone! Commenting to stay on the thread as we all anxiously await decisions. This is my first time applying to nursing schools (UCI, Western U, UCLA, CSUF ABSN, and a few community colleges).

My GPA is 4.0, have 2100 hours of experience in patient care, and my letters of rec are from 2 professors, and 1 from the director of nursing at my current job. The only area I don't feel confident about is my lack of volunteer/community service involvement since I only have 100 hours at a homeless shelter. Fingers crossed to us ALL.

When can we expect decisions? ?

This is what they told me: "You should hear of your admissions status by the end of February."

In the email it says end of February, but it seems as though it could be within the first few weeks of February from what I see in past threads..

I only received the email with a confirmation number and that was the same day I submitted! Should I have received another email? ? kinda worried I missed something

I don't necessarily think so. This email was specifically for people who had classes in progress to let us know they updated with our grades that had posted.

Hey everyone!  Just letting you all know that I decided to go to CSULB and am starting classes next week, so I withdrew my UCLA application from consideration and will be unfollowing this thread.  Thanks to all of you for the support, and BEST OF LUCK to everyone!!
