University of California, Irvine (UCI) Master's Entry Program in Nursing (MEPN) 2024

[Cariiiii]

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to create this forum because I haven't seen one for this cycle. I figured it would be a good way to connect with others who are going through the application process, are scared, nervous, excited, or lost. (or maybe all of the above) Also just a great way to stay updated with the application cycle. The application closes on Nov 1st! ?

Would love if anyone wanted to introduce themselves, and why they decided to apply to UCI nursing masters program.

I will start!

I am in my last semester of college! WOO WOO! Graduating with my bachelors in Kinesiology, and I currently have a 3.63 GPA. I have over 300 hours of volunteer/ clinical experience. I have over 50 shadowing hours for different nurses, and doctors. I chose UCI because they have access to some of the best hospitals, but I chose Masters, because I am sure as you all know BSN and ADN programs are so impacted and only care about numbers. (Yes I know this program is extremely competitive ;-;) UCI looks at other things besides numbers, which for me is important. 

I just submitted my application today (I know late) but I unfortunately had a lot of unexpected events happens in the past two month that caused a huge delay ? so I am hoping it doesn't affect my application too much. 

Good luck everyone, I wish we could all just get accepted. 

ALSO..... did anyone else flinch when they saw the price of the application ;-;

For those who did not receive an email or call about acceptance or waitlist, have you heard anything at all yet? I haven't heard anything even about rejection and nothing new shows up on my portal.

Hi,

For those of you on the waitlist, has anyone heard anything back yet?

No. I think most of the time they start notifying waitlisters around 2 weeks after the deadline, so mid-March. Are you waitlisted as well?

They are now notifying waitlisted ppl about any available spaces. I just got an email.

You got into UCLA too right? I'm also in that thread. Are you planning on accepting at UCI?

Has anyone else gotten an email for the waitlist. I'm not sure when I should know that it's officially a no from UCI for me.

For those of you who were already accepted, did they share a date that they need a deposit by? I'm wondering if that's a potential date us waitlisters can expect to hear back.
