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 ;-;

No calls for me, yet. Would they call if we don't get in?!

No, I think rejections tend to come later. If it's like last year, people waitlisted will start hearing from them tomorrow.

Congratulations everyone! I haven't received a call, my last name starts with the letter C. If they're going by last name, I have lost hope LOL I did feel ready discouraged after the interview ?

 Going based on what the last year AllNurses students say, some say they were notified if they were on the waitlist the next day. Others got responses wayy later

I just got my call! My last name starts with a O!
