USD MEPN App 2012 - Fall Class of 2011 Stats

[christy17]

Hello all!

I haven't seen anything yet for those applying for USD's (2012) MEPN program. I have almost everything finished for my application, but am refining my personal statement. It's been rough.... I'm so stressed out about it.

I'm wondering if anyone who was accepted for the fall 2011 class could give me some insight on your stats (GPA, GRE, volunteer work, etc.) USD is my number 1 choice for many reasons and I want an interview!

I look forward to taking this journey with you all.

I thought I heard them say they will send out admittance letters in the regular mail on March 1st so we should know within a few days from then. I'm not sure what they will be doing for those they decide not to offer admission to however..

I cannot believe interviews are over! I had such a good time meeting everyone. I asked how we will be notified and they said by mail, I assume this is regardless of whether you are accepted or not.

All this waiting is torture! One of my friend's got her acceptance letter last year via email on the 25th of February. But that's a Saturday this year. I was hoping we would have heard something today. Anyone got any updates from the office?

I know what you mean, I'm really anxious to find out I was thinking we wouldn't hear till the first week of March, but then again I did see people find out less than 2 weeks after their interviews in previous years.

I'm hoping we'll find out sometime next week

I'm with ya:lol2:! Fortunately I'm in an acute care class right now to keep my mind somewhat occupied. Will keep checking in for news. For now signing out to catch some :zzzzzgot clinicals tomorrow at Sharp Grossmont at 6am.

I'm going crazy! I've checked this forum multiple times today and have been stalking my email every 5 minutes. I'm sure we'll hear early next week. Positive thinking!!! Good luck to you all!

I haven't applied to USD but I'm considering it. I couldn't find anything about the cost of the program but based on per unit cost and number of units required, it is around $80k. Is that right? I might apply next year but I'm trying to figure out my various options.

[nfigueroa4]

It's going to be $95,000+ for tuition alone, then all other expenses like books, housing, travel costs, etc.

[leenak]

Ahh ok thanks. About 50% more than the school I was applying to at $66k for tuition. Something to think about.

[SOSOHAPPYRN]

Sigh..... :cool:so I called the office to find out if letters would be out end this week. I was told that there more stronger applicants this year so they are taking longer to finalize the list for graduate admissions. Further more admissions are so busy now with everyone else that it may not even go out this Friday. It may end up being next week before we hear anything.... URGGHHH!

so sorry imagine12, i just saw your question...i believe they said around 800 people applied total, 140 were offered interviews...something like that?

this is a nervewracking time...best of luck to everyone!

[imagine12]

Thanks for responding katiej815. Wow, 800 is such a large pool. I feel so privileged to have been offered an interview. Yeah, I agree, this wait is excruciating. Hopefully we'll hear soon :)
