University of California, Davis (UC Davis) Master's Entry Program in Nursing - Summer 2026

[AP Singh]

Hello fellow applicants, 

Starting a support thread for UC Davis MEPN, for the class starting Summer 2026. 
I turned in my app on November 1st. Historically, the first round decisions come out around December 15th, so we fortunately won't have to wait too long. 

I attended all of the info sessions, and one thing I learned is that in the last cycle they had about 400 applications for 75 seats, 18% acceptance rate. Wishing everyone well, it seems like a great (if expensive) program!

I'm telling myself we won't find out until Dec 23rd, the last day before the holiday. Definitely helps my impatience!

While checking for updates, I learned today that nursingcas did not transfer my transcripts to the ucd application even though they had received them. They fixed the issue and apologized but now I fear it might be too late. I emailed admissions but I hope just hope they will still consider my app😞 . Wish me luck. I'm sure we will all hear something soon 🤞

Hi @Soph263, 
I am very sorry that there was an issue with your transcripts! I'm curious, what happened exactly? From what I understand, schools pull your completed and verified NursingCas application once everything is in. I too very sincerely hope you get full consideration; the admissions team has been very responsive to me in the past and I'm sure they'll do what they can to help. Good luck, and keep us posted!
