I thought I would start a new thread. I've read quite a bit of the activity from previous classes and I thought it would be great to get a community of support started for those who have applied for UCSF's MEPN program... not just for us now, but for the future applicants who will read our posts! (: (the added bonus is this thread will be in gender neutral territory
Would love to hear the stories of folks who are applying to nursing programs (UCSF and otherwise).
Anyone applying for entry to the MSN program- for those who have BSN & RN already? The deadline was Feb. 1 so I'm wondering if anyone know when we should find out, and also if there are interviews (specifically for the FNP specialty)?
Well, it looks like we'll find out around March 15. Is anyone else getting super impatient/frustrated? UCSF's flakiness makes me strongly consider going with my second choice...
I hear you about being a bit frusterated with them. I'm surprised how disorganized they seem to be. I mean they can have whatever system they want but if you explicitly promise to postmark decisions by march 1st at orientation then do it. Or at least send out a mass email explaining the situation. We as applicants are expected to break our backs to meet deadlines! But in the end it's still a great school and I'm still gonna check my mailbox everyday until I get something... But like you I am also considering another school if only because I have no choice at the moment...
UCSF has updated their website, now listing ACNP as the first filled specialty. I hope this means they are that much closer to getting those decisions out!
Are any of you applicants to the MSN program for those with a BSN/RN? I'm trying to get an idea of how many apply/how many accepted and when we might expect to find out (since the deadline is much later than for the MEPN program--it wasn't until Feb. 1).
I don't think there's anyone on this particular thread applying directly to the MSN program, but I'm sure there's a thread on this site somewhere for it! Best of luck to you!
I'm keeping hopeful that some of us will know by this week again, it helps with the long awaited date of March 15th. Don't give up ladies and gents! Good Luck to everyone!
If y'all haven't heard anything by now, you might want to go ahead and give 'em a call; obviously things aren't going the way they thought they would a month ago.
Hahaha, they might get annoyed, but I don't think they'd do that. They might have said don't call, but they also said that notifications would be sent out before now, so I think it's okay if you want to follow up.
If anyone has the courage to call, let us know how it goes. I hope you don't end up facing the wrath of the admissions dept! I might muster up the strength this afternoon if I still haven't heard anything. This is such a bum deal...My deposit is due today for my second choice. Could be a waste of 500 smackaroos.

Thanks, and I wish everyone the best!
