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 am a first round applicant who interviewed and just got a portal notification. I got denied, nice to finally have closure.

Congrats!! Is it under the "Status Information" of the application portal? I'm a first round application and still haven't heard anything accept/waitlist/deny?

I spoke too soon.. Got an email at 5:40 saying there was an update then opened the portal for my rejection letter? But congratulations to everyone that made it!

I am a second round applicant that submitted interview April 9th... Seeing all these posts have made me lose hope. Congrats to everyone else! 

I'm also a first round applicant who interviewed in January and got an email at 5:40PM today with a link to the rejection letter in my portal. ? I'm bummed because UCI was my first choice for financial and familial reasons! Guess it was not meant to be... I'll be attending UC Davis instead (or possibly UCLA since I'm almost off of the waitlist). At least we finally have closure after like 5 months of anxiety and being in limbo!
Big congrats to everyone who got into UCI! ?

Hi all. I was a first round applicant waitlister who was admitted last week, but I will not be accepting the spot. It should open up for someone very soon, told them no today. Congratulations to all who will attend the program, and to others waiting- have hope!

Does anyone know what kind of scholarship and grant opportunities UCI offers?

I am a 2nd round applicant here... submitted pretty late in the second round. I have not received an interview unfortunately and starting to lose hope, as it seems that 2nd rounds have already received theirs! No updates in my portal, Congrats to everyone who was accepted! ?

For those who were accepted, when is your deadline to commit to the program?

I think they give two weeks to decide since it's past the original deadline. so my deadline is tomorrow.

I'm on the wait-list and haven't heard a thing since early February. I have read people have gotten rejection letters. Should I still have hope? I was a first round applicant.

I'm on the exact same boat as you, not sure how many of us there are... I hope we get an answer soon
