UCLA MECN 2023

[almostmsn]

Hi! Just thought I would create a new topic for all of us applying to UCLA's MECN program this year ?

[Chaifree, CNA]

Anyone else so anxious to hear back? Fingers crossed for us! Did anyone apply to other school? I applied to UCLA and SMC's ADN program.

I am also very anxious! Time has gone by so fast, I can't believe we are mid-way through January. About another month of waiting ❤️ I am planning on other schools, but the schools I am interested in do not open until Spring! Good luck to us all, and fingers crossed!!

I am super anxious! Trying to get my mind off of it but not at all succeeding

Right! Time is flying by! Are you applying to other Masters entry level programs?

Same! I think about it everyday and I have to re read my SOP and PS for reassurance that no matter what the outcome is, I put my all into it ?.

I'm fighting the urge to look back at my application--at the time, I did the best that I could and I hope it was enough. Any distraction tips? I need a hobby LOL

Good luck to everyone. Is anyone applying for the second or third time? I was on the alternate list last application period so I'm cautiously optimistic.

What # were you on the waitlist and how far did you move up? Good luck to you! I think Making the waitlist is a good sign hopefully this year you are selected ??

I have just been adding extra shifts at work and going to the gym to keep my mind at peace. Although I work in the hospital, and being around nurses doesn't really help take my mind off getting into school LOL.

The anxious feeling only gets worse by the day! Luckily I am in my last year of undergrad so school has been keeping me busy and distracted. By aside from that, I've been cooking a lot more and trying to read. Those two hobbies forces me to focus on what is in front of me (ie stove or the book) so it takes my mind off of the application haha

Out of curiosity, how many of you are applying straight from undergrad, re-applicant, or gap year applicant? :0 I'm a first time applicant and I'm just finished up my last year of undergrad!

Hi y'all, I know we are to wait until the end of Feb. to hear back from admin, but I was curious to know if any of y'all also applied to UCI's MEPN program? I heard back from them today with an invite to an interview and I'm so nervous yet excited!

This is my first time applying to UCLA's program. For those of you who are applying a second time, how did your application change? This may sound horrible but I'm already preparing myself for rejection and focusing on my second time applying! I'm that nervous!
