Updated:   Published

What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing their application status for a program, including rejections, waitlists, and admissions. Some members are expressing frustration at being rejected multiple times, while others are offering support and encouragement to each other. There are also questions about the admissions process, curriculum changes, and tuition costs for admitted students.

Has anyone else applied to USD MEPN program for Spring 2026? I believe this is the first time they are doing a Spring cohort!

Congratulations to everyone who got an interview invite, I got one as well! Looking forward to interviewing with you guys 🙂

Is anyone else worried about the cost of the program though 😬

The cost of this program is scary. You can apply for fed loans, not sure about scholarship assistance. In CA, if you work as a nurse in an underserved area, you can qualify to have the gov pay back your loans. https://bhw.HRSA.gov/funding/apply-loan-repayment/nurse-corps

Thank you for the information!! Definitely going to look into federal loans & loan repayment options.

I think that is pretty standard. I have spoken to other people from different MEPN programs and their interview days were 4-5 hours. 
 

I believe they are all group based interviews. I think we will rotate to different interviewers. 
 

Either way, I'm still so excited and hope we all get in.

I saw those as well. Honestly, I might skim some of those threads. But I don't wanna overwhelm myself. I'll prolly just wing it the day of! Don't stress!
