UCLA MSN Fall 2014

lovepeacelove · Dec 26, 2013

I received the same email!! Just a few more months until we find out!! I wonder how many they'll take in each cohort!?

I wonder if there is preference for applicants who applied by the priority deadline vs the final deadline for the FNP application. I know they accept the most in the FNP program.

Did anyone attend the information sessions and recall how many students they said they will accept for each specialty?

Does any know the average stats for admitted students to the MSN-APN program?

RNBSN7777 · Jan 21, 2014

From one of the info sessions I attended, this was the breakdown for # of students accepted:

Adult gero acute care NP/CNS: 24

Adult gero primary NP: 24

Peds NP/CNS: 16

Family NP: 32

Hope this helps. :)

That is very helpful, thank you!

I was told by the School that they receive about 100 applicants for the 32 spots in the FNP program.

Good luck to all of us!

I'm getting anxious! I wish we could find out sooner! What do you all do now and what do you guys all want to do with your MSN degrees in the future?

I'm a bit late joining this thread, but I also applied for FNP for Fall 2014. I really have no idea what to expect, as I only moved to California a year ago and I'm not super familiar with nursing programs here. I would say that UCLA is my "reach" school...I will be THRILLED if I get in :)

What other programs did you guys apply to? I applied to:

CSU Los Angeles, Long Beach, Dominguez Hills

UC Irvine

Western University of Health Sciences

My nursing GPA was 3.63, overall GPA only 3.123 (I was a terrible student freshman/sophomore year before I chose nursing). I have 1 year of hospital experience (telemetry) and 2 years of SNF experience.

It sounds like UCLA accepts about 30% of applicants into the FNP program. I really hope I'm one of them :)

I was told last year by the School that they calculates GPA by the last 60 semester units or 90 quarter units of your BSN.

A few years back, decisions were made earlier (February.) But for some reason it's getting pushed back to March-April. Other graduate schools at UCLA have already sent out their decisions last month.

UCLA is the only school I applied to. I honestly don't care for any of the CSU schools but I do think that I might look into APU. I hope that we find out about admissions soon! My overall and nursing GPA were pretty good (don't remember by heart what the #s are) and I've been working as an inpatient nurse for 3-4 years now. Are you all going to work part-time or just not work during school?
