2012 UCSF MEPN Applicants

Published

The MEPN deadline is less than 2 months away, so I thought I'd get a thread started for us 2012 hopefuls!

I'm a first time applicant to the WHNP/CNM specialty, and feel like I've been getting ready to submit this application for so long! I've been working abroad for a public health NGO for the past couple of years and am a trained birth doula. I've finished up all of my prereqs and GREs, selected people for recommendations (including a slightly awkward visit to my undergraduate advisor...), so now I'm just drafting my essays. Does anyone even know what the application is supposed to look like this year? I'm just going off samples I've seen from previous years.

Some days I feel sort of confident about my chances, and other days I feel as though this is a total shot in the dark and definitely not going to work out!

Any other hopefuls out there? And anyone know when the application is actually going to open?

nothing in the mail for me in SF. anyone else?

Nothing!!! Guess we'll have to wait until Monday...

Nothing here either, though I'm on the other coast, so I wasn't expecting anything until next week anyway. Hmph.

Maybe today??!!??

Nothing today. :(

I'm starting to wonder if we'll have to wait until next week for this news!

I love how I was trying to be all cool not thinking about the letter... but, um, now I really want to know! Where is that letter?! lol

when i spoke with the administrator late last week he said they were on the verge of sending them out. This week for sure, but I have a feeling about today.

At the risk of sounding a little nuts, here's random bit of info: I just tried to sign in to my online account (why?! what am I expecting to have changed there?!) and got the following message:

The following error occoured while completing your request: The Graduate Application is currently being upgraded and will be available again shortly.

An administrator has been notified, please try your request again.

But maybe this means they're actually updating things and we'll get news soon!

Just received my letter. I got an interview! Happy...surprised...happy... I live in a small town south of San Francisco, for reference and my letter was dated December 7th.

Hooray!! Congrats, DoulaMama! What date is your interview?
