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 ?

My last name is also at the front of the alphabet, it starts with a D. I received a call around 11AM today.

In addition to the call they also sent an email out. They mentioned they have a waitlist at the moment. It seems the current process underway is 1] get official confirmation from first wave candidates, 2] if offer is declined by candidated, open up offer to second wave of candidates.

Do you mind sharing if they have you a deadline to commit?

Yes, there is a deadline. The deadline to commit is March 14.

Hello guys! I just got a call from admissions. Best of luck to everyone ?

What do you mean you got a call? Do they really tell you over the phone? I would have thought an acceptance would only be given formally- by mail or email. No?

It looks like they did both; there was both a call and a follow up email.

I wonder if this waitlist is separate from the "official" waitlist? I thought they also email applicants who are placed on the waitlist...

Has anyone received a waitlist offer via email?

Did you get the email immediately after your call?
