Over the next year, I found ways to strengthen my application and gain more relevant experience, then I applied again and was accepted. I also know that staff is generally willing to look at your application with you and help you strategize for how to improve it for next year, if you are interested in reapplying. The questions interviewers ask re-applicants are slightly different than those applying for the first time and mostly relate to how and why you're more prepared now than you were before. I asked the program director recently how many applications they received and he said it was 600-something and they will be admitting 84.

Is there a appeal process that you know of?? Your blogs have been quite helpful for me...I was selected to interview for the MSN-E program at Western University of Health Sciences. You have been a tremendous encouragement and helpful resource. Thanks for posting!!! I enjoy your blogs…I applied to UCSF MEPN but was not selected to interview for the program this year.
