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 ?

Is it bad that I lost hope LOL. 

My last name starts with an M. Haven't received an email or phone call. 

LOL we are blowing up the notifications ? my last name starts with T so maybe they are going in alphabetical order. If I don't hear from either UCI or UCLA tmrw I am going to go absolutely mad ?

tell me about it. it's my birthday today and all I can think about is school

I don't think anyone that starts with a last name letter from the latter half of the alphabet has mentioned getting accepted; therefore, I don't think you should give up hope yet! It's is very possible that they may have not finished their calls. 

If it is truly the case that the first round has closed, it would be nice if someone with a lower letter gave everyone a bit more of closure. Truly the unknown is quite uncomfortable ?

Happy birthday! Hopefully there's a reason why they decided to start releasing decisions on a Thursday (maybe releasing more tomorrow!).

I love this! This makes a lot of sense administratively

OMG! Happy birthday! An acceptance letter would be an epic gift. Good luck to you! 

hi all, I received a call from UCI earlier today around 12:23p. they sent a follow up email around 3:40p but I was expecting to be notified tomorrow. my last name starts w R so I'm unsure if alphabetical order applies for the decisions. best of luck to you all ??

Did the rest of us got waitlisted? Or did some people got rejected? Also, I think they're starting the second wave of interviews. 

I haven't received anything from UCI ?

I also got waitlisted. Don't know my position though, do you?

How did you get notified that you were waitlisted via phone call or email?
