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

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.Â

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

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