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

Updated:   Published

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 ;-;

I also have a strong feeling we'll hear back this week! I am nervous, but we all need to stay positive and manifest good news! ? I believe in you all!

Loving the positive energy here guys! Wish we could all be accepted ? 

I lost all my hope after the interview, but I'm very anxious to hear back. Good luck to everyone ?

Okay, thanks. Hoping I hear back from them before Friday when I'm supposed to go interview at USD. USD's program is significantly more expensive and their interview process sounds incredibly stressful. I'd honestly like to save myself the trip from Long Beach if I know I got in at UCI. 

@britt14 I am in the same boat. I have the interview with USD on Friday too and praying we hear back before then because UCI's price tag is so much better than USD's. I would love a bonus day off too if I can get one LOL

Absolutely. We've done all we can at this point. All we can do it stay positive and recognize that things will happen as they should ??

The interview was a humbling experience for sure LOL! ? Good luck to all!

Has anyone heard back yet since submitting their interview? Or if you didn't receive the initial interview invite, has anyone received one now?

Do you have a status update on your portal?

I haven't heard back either ? are they going by last names? Do you mind sharing the first letter of your last name?
