University of California, Irvine (UCI) Master's Entry Program in Nursing (MEPN) Fall 2023

Published

Hi all,

I had seen a discussion thread last year for students who applied to UCI's MEPN program and I found the comments really helpful. Maybe by connecting we can see when invitations to interview are sent out. ? I did see that UCI was expanding its MEPN program this year which is exciting!

A little about me-I am pursuing nursing at the mid stages of my life. I have a degree in Health Education and Health Promotion and community health nursing is my aspiration! Hope we can connect!

I am also throwing my hat into other degree programs- CSUF, Golden West, Saddleback, Vanguard. Basically anywhere that fits my goals and budget ?

I asked the school what the number of students in the 2023 cohort they're expecting, and they confirmed around 40! I think you're right, probably 20 accepted with 20 more spots ?

I checked the FB page. It shows 23 people in the cohort now. Prob more have accepted but not joined page. Not hopeful ?

Those that were accepted or anyone on this thread had an interview invite?

I'm wondering if sending another email might be helpful.  It feels very dismissive of our time and money to not send out any kind of update for those who aren't accepted yet ?

I mean, how difficult is it to post a status update to everyone's application LOL. Not even a letter, just an online update...

It's annoying cause I feel like if we send an email they would say refer to our FAQ page but like the time range is too big?? They said expect a status update between now and July. Like be for real ?

For real? I didn't even get that update about notifications between now-July. Wow ?

Yes it's actually ridiculous. Like I'm confused what the thought process is for to make ppl wait that long. But yes I'm linking the faq where it states this

https://nursing.uci.edu/admissions/mepn-admissions/

I submitted my application before the priority deadline and I have yet to hear anything back regarding an interview or rejection.
