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?

OMG!!!! The decisions are up on the graduate website. Just log onto your account!!!

Woah. I'm in for CNM/WHNP!

Was not admitted but I cannot be happier that we received communication much earlier than expected. It makes choosing another program I have been admitted to that much easier :)

I wish you all the best. Thank you so much for being such a supportive group!

omg I got in. OMG. omg... I'm like, shaking.

Congrats! I was shaking as well. I'm in Peds, which specialty did you get in Myelin?

Dedicateone: Sorry to hear that, but I'm glad you have other programs to choose from. Good luck!

Did your letter list the specialty? Mine didn't refer to a specialty, although I interviewed for family psych.

Mine didn't list the specialty either.

okay, good. hehe, then I assume I'm in for family psych. :) Congrats to you as well, thuyd! Is UCSF your top choice?

I'm an "alternate" for the FNP specialty. I'm very grateful that I still have a shot, but it's hard to continue to be in limbo land. For those of you who received acceptances, what is your deadline for replying? I'm figuring that if nothing's opened up by whatever that deadline is, my chances of getting in after that are very slim!

My application homepage says "admitted" and congrats, etc - and then when I click on the link for the letter it gives me an error message...oh well!

The deadline it gives for accepting the offer of admission is March 8, 11:59pm.

Yup, UCSF is my top choice =)

Tenaya I was waitlisted too, for AGNP. I am the third alternate, so frustrating. I am going to start to look into ways to make my application better for next year.
