University of California, Irvine (UCI) Master's Entry Program in Nursing (MEPN) 2025

Published

Haven't seen a thread so starting one for Fall 2025! 🙂

Those that were accepted or waitlisted, did you feel confident with how your interview went? (I didn't hear back and I know my interview was OK/not my best)

I got waitlisted and I did not feel confident with my interview. Hence the reason why I feel like they weigh heavily on the interview

I thought last year they told waitlisted applicants their place in line. But this year they aren't? I got waitlisted but they didn't tell me my place in the waitlist.

I was waitlisted. I don't think I was able to do the VERY best I could have on the interview because it was just a One Shot, but I think I had done pretty well on it.

I did not get a call or an email, but I thought I did OK on the interview. I maybe fumbled on one question but not bombed or anything.

Great! Is there a status update in your application portal? 

So sorry for the late response!! 

I got my admission call around 10:50 am yesterday. I also received an admission/congrats email around 11:10 am. And last night, around 5 pm, I got an email that said the app portal had been updated. 

I just checked my app portal & had the official admissions offer letter!

Wishing you the best!! ❤️

No news on my end. For those of you who were accepted, can you share your timeline? Application submission date and confirmation of app received. Wondering if there is still hope...

I submitted my app probably 2-3 hours before the deadline on 11/30.

Invited to interview on 01/31; submitted the interview & fellowship essay Feb 6th (also 2-3 hours before the deadline LOL). 

Received the admission call yesterday morning! Hope that helps ❤️

Congrats to everyone who got accepted! For those who were waitlisted, fingers crossed for good news soon. And to those still waiting, I hope you hear back soon with positive news!

For those who got accepted, is UCI your top choice, or are you considering other programs as well?

UCI is my top choice! I applied to the University of the Pacific as well but have not heard back.

I was accepted but I did not feel confident with my interview at allllll. Honestly, I thought it was awful bc I hadn't interviewed in such a long time and it was a weird format. I also thought I fumbled on one question, but overall my responses were pulled from my personal statement.

I wonder why they won't tell the waitlisters their place in line this year. Looking at last year's forum it seems that they told waitlisters what number they were...

I got notified of getting on the waitlist today. Do you guys know how many are on the waitlist and the chances of getting off it ? Thank you!

I got accepted yesterday around the same time frame. I got a call around 10:55am. The email was sent at 11:09 a.m., and the portal was updated at 5 p.m. I applied to UCI, UCLA, CSULB, and CSUF. UCI offered me the fellowship and I live in the OC area so I'm considering it much more. I hope this helps in terms of timeframe wise. I also applied the day it was due November 30th, submitted at 6pm ish. I wish y'all the best, I am genuinely so curious how many people applied this cycle. 

In terms of my interview, I felt super unsure about mine as I felt like I glanced too much on my jotted notes and felt pressure as I haven't done interviews in a while. I definitely feel like my essays were more impactful detailing my experience and work ethic.

hii did anyone receive a rejection email? I havent heard anything from them and was wondering if they will get back to us with a rejection email. I've already accepted that I've been rejected but I just want that closure LOL.
