With just a few weeks to go before the application opens...

Any thoughts, questions, advice or information to share as we anxiously prepare?

Congrats to all who have been accepted! I have been waitlisted for FNP.. : (

Does anyone know how many people on average get accepted from the waitlist?

@ Jonesh27, I believe I heard that about 1-2 ppl get off the waitlist for FNP from the last cohort.

@ GoddessMama, please do make a fb group :)

@ GoddessMama, please do make a fb group :)

In order to start a group I need to add one person, can you give me your email so I can do it? Would you like to be a group admin? sometimes I deactivate my FB account for a few weeks at a time when I need to get things done.

I've started the FB group, but all nurses will not allow me to post the link; try searching for UCSF MEPN 2017 Cohort .

I have been accepted for AGPCNP. This was my second time applying and first interview. Congratulations to everyone, I know that it takes a lot of work to even get an interview. For those who didn't get in this time, if you want to be at UCSF, apply again! Apply as many times as it takes (and is practical for you) for them to understand that you belong at UCSF.

Congratulations to everyone who applied! Keep up the struggle!

I was also accepted, for AGPCNP-OEH! Congratulations to everyone, the application itself was a serious undertaking and everyone I met at the interviews seemed like an incredible candidate. I was definitely a mix of intimidated and excited to be in everyone's company.

Looking forward to meeting the rest of the cohort, and best of luck to everyone!

Dear incoming MEPNs,

First, let me congratulate all of you on your admissions to UCSF. You are about to begin the craziest year of your life. I've joined your FB group and will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the program, what to expect, etc. I'm on the ASSN, which is the nursing school's student council, and I am just finishing up my first year. It's going to be an amazing year for you guys.

I would also like to say this to those who did not get into UCSF. Certainly, try again and your odds will improve, but if you got into a great nursing school somewhere else: go. UCSF is a great place, but there are many other great places here in the Bay Area and elsewhere in the country. Some of the best nurses I've met were trained at places such as Samuel Merritt, CSU East Bay, CSU Long Beach, CSU Fullerton, Western, Georgetown, nursing schools in India and the UK, etc. My point is that there is no one road to get where you are going. Had I not gotten into UCSF, I would have gone to the Cal State to which I had been accepted. Every nursing school - UCSF included - has its positives and negatives. Just because you didn't get into UCSF does not mean you won't get into another great program, and if that's the case take full advantage of it. There's no rhyme or reason why people get in one program and not the other. I was wait listed at UCLA and rejected by CSU Long Beach. At any rate, congratulations again to everyone who applied and for all your hard work. Don't give up. Nursing is an amazing profession.

PS: To those of you who have accepted UCSF, the only thing you need to do between now and the time class starts is to take an extended holiday if it is in your power to do so. The majority of my classmates took a trip somewhere before school started, and man we were glad we did.
