UCLA MECN 2021

[lilyrose212]

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!

Hi everyone the only email I have received from UCLA was the one that said my application was received back in November, are there other emails I should have received? Starting to freak out LOL 

Were you able to get in contact with the department yet? 

I didn't have all my LORs submitted by the deadline but I believe some of us received an email later in mid December that looks like this:

Good luck and let us know!

Hi, MECN first year here! I decided to comment because I'm still getting notifications from this thread. You will probably hear back in the next week or so! Our results came out Feb 6 in waves towards the end of Feb, they also don't let you know if you got rejected so if you haven't heard back while people are getting acceptances, I would check the decision portal. Waitlist emails came at the same time too. I got accepted off the waitlist on Sept. 1.  So don't lose hope, regardless of the decision! I believe about 14 students got off the waitlist last year ? I was #13. This was the only school I applied to so it all eventually worked out. And don't let this decision define you! The program you attend should match who you are too! UCLA SON is huge on diversity and how you can contribute to that and the community. Other programs are more public health focused, etc.

OK so I definitely did NOT get this e-mail, the only one I Got was the one at time os submission that reads like this:

application has been received.

telephone numbers are included on the Graduate Division website:

Now Im definitely freaking out and going to email the department. I honestly didn't think to do it earlier because I didn't know there were other emails. OMG I cannot wait another year

It might be in your junk/spam folder so make sure to check there! That’s where mine went to

I also wouldn't hesitate to reach out to the department. They have been super helpful and nice in answering all my questions over the past year + and may be able to provide some guidance.

Hello all,

I have applied for FALL2021, my application was updated with a UID number, what does this mean?

What?!?!? Where did you see that. Wonder if this is like some secret indication of something before official announcements made (or if this just happens for everyone?) Maybe the former MECN folks know?

 SAW THIS UPDATE A FEW WEEKS AGO

I graduated from UCLA last year so my previous UID number is there. I do not remember it being there the last time I checked my application.

As a student, you get  a UID #, it's like a student ID number, but I don't recall when I got it...I thought it had it when I submitted my application.

Thank you for sharing, I am not a former student.

Does anyone remember if they received a UID immediately after submitting their application, or is this a new thing that has been updated into applicant status'?
