I just got accepted into the UCLA nursing school! So excited!
Danielle Tolentino Congrats! I will be applying next year as a High school senior. Can I ask what your gpa and sat/act were like?
@@ortallevi7753 Wow that's so exciting! I honestly don't have amazing stats, I got 1390 on the SAT and had a 3.8 gpa, 4.7 weighted. But I did have a bunch of volunteer experience in healthcare and I have a CNA certification, which I think helped me out a lot. I wish you the best of luck!
@@danielle-xt7if what?? those are amazing stats, i wish mine were life that
Congrats ! What classes did you take ?? I’m going into community rn and then transfer
The acceptance rate for UCLA Nursing is obviously very low; Miki quoted 5% from the transfer cohort. But despite the really low rate, I'm pretty sure nursing admissions goes more holistically than by stats. They're probably looking for bedside manner and other things besides gpa and test scores. I don't know if Miki mentioned it, but I believe they send out a supplemental essay on why you'd be a good nurse, and I"m sure that's its extremely weighted.
I don’t think people are aware how prestigious and unique UCLA’s nursing program is. I believe it is a class of 20 students for the program and they usually do not take transfers from local colleges. On top of your nursing courses don’t you take pre med classes as well? I think that’s great because it means you could always go back to med school or PA school if nursing isn’t what you want to be forever. The great thing I hear about it is how the clinical rotations are being that there are great hospitals and facilities nearby the college.
I dont think nursing or pre med is any easier. In fact, I believe that those two paths are just as hard as going into nursing. Medical school has a low percentage to get into with a 4.0 gpa. Plus, some majors tend to not get accepted readily like bio majors. In general, while I do think the nursing program is hard to get into, getting into medical school at UCLA or a PA school is highly difficult and should not be merely a second choice for an easier perception. But you are right. My sister got chosen from a cal state uni for nursing from 2800 applicants. They accepted only 80? It’s just different and clinical rotatioms could be anywhere no? In my rad program, I saw peers doing clinicals in a city an hour or more away.
@@michaelnguyen3159 Obviously, majoring in Biochemistry, Chemistry, Bioengineering, Microbiology with premed would be tougher and more competitive than nursing. Nursing majors don't have to worry about getting into the school; they're already in. All the others are trying to maintain a 3.5 or above to get into med school (or dental, pharm school, etc.).
UCLA premeds are really competitive and they probably maintain on average about a 3.5 gpa or maybe a little higher, because it doesn't do any good to stay in the life sciences and maintain a 3.1 in preparing for a doctorate health program. Additionally, the material is a lot tougher because a lot of nursing classes are probably just clinical protocol, whereas majoring in Biochem, MIMG, MCDB at UCLA involves a lot of abstract material.
Why would one go back for PA if nursing isn't for you? Aren't we still talking patient care?
@@Sara-md8nu Many ppl end up not liking bedside n quit bedside hence changing specialties or even going back for their masters for dnp or even masters in pa studies?? It's still patient care
It's nursing at the end of a day.
I got rejected from UCLA nursing but now I’m an MS1 at UCLA Med!
This is so well-made Miki thank you!! Although it is definitely a stretch for me, I'm gonna apply to UCLA's school of nursing, cause YOLO!
Congrats! I’m graduating UC Berkeley, and I’m applying to their MECN (Masters Entry Clinical Nurse) program!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Hope one day I could catch up on you for helping more...
After completing high school, how many years did it take you finish pre-reqs and gen ed in order to transfer to UCLA?
wish i knew that i could finish high school early
Hey Miki!
I'm currently applying as we speak. I'm struggling with making my Statement of Purpose perfect. Do you have any tips on what to include or stand out?
You so cute! Thank you for made this video ❤
Hiii Miki!! (My nick name is Miki, short for Mikaela) I am in nursing school as well! And I'm so curious to know whats in your backpack for nursing school!! could you do a video on that?! xoxo
Wow! You are so inspiring!
not me coming here after being rejected 😭😭😭
If accepted, do you still get classes on UCLA’s campus? Or are you mainly spending your time at the School of Nursing? Did you get to experience dorm life? I’m a little confused when it comes that because I still however want a college life, but I am very passionate about nursing.
Yeap! I can’t agree with you anymore! Showing what you do outside of the classroom is more engraved for the referees! Thanks for your guidance! Ciao!
I'd love to transfer to UCLA's BSN program. It sucks that a decent amount of BSN programs require Organic chem nowadays. I'm pretty confident I could get in with my GPA, honor programs, and i'm starting to volunteer in a clinical setting. My chem professor at CC literally scarred me of taking anymore chem :(. Applying to CSULA, SFSU, SJSU, and CSUSB though for next spring/fall 19 ' though!
The UCLA program for nursing does not really accept transfers. It is a direct high school entry program.
Matthew awesome buddy ...that’s a good attitude to have
Are you applying as a freshman or transfer ??
@@lamingtongirl123 i’m applying as a transfer for fall 2022, out of all transfer applications, only 10 are going to be accepted. but of course you have to be accepted into UCLA before being accepted into the school of nursing :)
@@themonetmolinaofficial8061 no u dont, u have to get accepted to the SON first
Hello, Miki! I have questions for you. What club have you created in high school (or college)? Also, how can you discover any volunteer opportunities? Thank you! Have a nice day!
If I were to apply to UCLA+the school for nursing would the acceptance letter come during the same time as any other acceptance letter to other schools?
Super cool
I read the transfer requirement to go to UCLA and calculus is just a recommendation. Is that ok if I took statistics instead. Because there's only UCLA requires calculus for nursing, the rest is statistic. I'm not only apply for UCLA but that's my dream school and I really wanna get into that 😍
I recently graduated from SDSU's direct admit BSN program and am about to start UCLA's new grad program. I'm so curious about how our programs differed!
What science and math classes did you take in high school?
Hi Miki! How did you finish HS so early? How did your classes look like?
Thank god it's a grade only program here. We don't need any extracurricular's to get into nursing school but it's really hard to get into one. You'll need 95% above for private programs 😬
Really want to study in Ucla nursing school but im from overseas and yeah maybe in the future
I'm a 54 year old male and I'm thinking about going into a nursing career. I talk to my friends about it but they told me how I should not do it because of my age. They said that no jobs will hire me. I'm wondering should I go forward with it?
Maurice Holden ofc you should!! I don’t want to be cliché but age is just a number! I believe in you! You can do it!!
Thank you and I like you. You are so cool
DO YOU SIR I BELIEVE IN YOU
Go ahead! If it's your dream make it happen!
@@hufflepuffxxxx nah
The sad truth about UCLA and UCI and others is, if you're taking classes in the sciences, the teacher, or lecturer speaks so poor english, it is very hard to understand, let alone learn... The UC system really needs to LISTEN and LEARN...
Hii, im from the philippines and i've been planning that once I finish my senior highschool here in the philippines i will migrate there in the US and study nursing there in college, UCLA was one of my dream schools, i hope i'll get in there soonn
Hi Miki, glad to find this video. I'm Marisa, a nursing student too in Indonesia and this is my 5th semester. May I ask you something? As an international student there, do you have any difficulties about the admission and requirements? Hope you'll answes this. Thank youuu 💞
Looking forward to become PhD student at UCLA
So what If you complete the requisites and end up not making the cut? Could those credits be put towards a similar degree?
I really hope next year when I apply to UCLA I get into the nursing program!🥺
Good luck stranger!
Jamal Dinosaur thank you!
It’s been a year, did u get in? 😊
Hi, I hope you see this! I'm currently a freshman at CC, and I want to transfer after two years, but I have a few questions about volunteering/experience I should look into. I know becoming CNA is a great way to build up my resume but should I look into pharmacy techs or phlebotomists? I know those two are less nursing-related so should I look into those too? Also, I looked up volunteering opportunities near me but all of them require some sort of nursing school experience which I don't have so how should I go about finding volunteering opportunities at a hospital?
Hey I have the exact questions let me know if you found any answers!
is the nursing program after 2 years of college or after 4 years?
for transfer students, it approximately takes them 2 years to finish all prereqs. and there do have the nursing schools with 3 years program or 4 years program. it just depends on what school you are applying to. so basically it would take 5 or 6 years, or even more
Currently tying to finish my statement of purpose but I'm getting a little discouraged because the UCLA Nursing School has such a low acceptance rate >:(
Honesty it's so interesting to see how much you have to do to get into Nursing school in the States, over here in Canada (specifically Ontario I dont know too much about the other provinces) it's a grade only program. So as long as your overall average of your 4 prerequisites (English, math, chem and bio) + your top 2 electives is a competitive average you'll be fine. But it's *super* competitive, I have a 89-90% average and I'm worried if I'll get in or not 😅
I’m watching this from 2020 and she looks so young
Hi love question if I volunteer many years ago can I use that?
I am a student from India and I have completed my 12th grade ...can u tell me how I can get into ucla
Is communication psych and microbiology courses that are highly recommended or are they part of the other courses you stated?
Could I just go to UCLA and take the nursing program, is that the same thing the UCLA school of nursing? Can you please explain this to me!
Can you take the pre reqs at a community college and transfer to a nursing program at a university without doing the ADN ??
🤔
yes you can. That’s what I did
Could someone please answer my question ?! So if I wanted to apply to the UCLA nursing program, I would have to take all those classes in college before I apply? Like the ones she was stating we need?
Yes. You would have to complete all of your Science prereqs & recommended courses if you're trying to transfer from a CC. I believe you have to completely follow the "IGETC". Just talk to your counselor.
Is doing an accelerated BSN worth it?
Hi mikirai baby ❤️️
What about RN to BSN program? Is it full time? What are the admission rates?
How many years can the scholarship last?
I'm an international student applying for a community college. So you have to apply for the UC before finishing 2 years of cc, right? How do you show them all your grades? And also can I use (for the UC application) letters of recomendation from high school? or only cc
hey miki i have a few questions. i'm about the go into high school but the high school i want to go to has very few amount of clubs which worries me. So will my college application still be fine and allow me to go to good colleges without clubs.
im not an american, can I get into ucla as international nursing student? im passionate about nursing but really scared about not being able to be successful.
can nursing majors at ucla also play softball
Does military experience stand out when applying to the nursing program?
Does anyone know if I need to have a personal statement for nursing at UCs?
What video editor are you using?
omg you look like nayeon from twice!
Yes!!
Are you from nepal ?!!
Miki so cute😉
I need your help. Should I take statistics course ? Is it very useful to overall of the nursing program? Like is stats so important other than for research?
How can we gain leadership skills? Is kind of hard.. I think.
some schools require you to have stats or else you cannot apply. all prerequisites have to be done
How do you edit your videos? (:
they only accept 40 students each year?
Can a international student get admission with scholarships
Hi I was wondering, if you transfer into the UCLA BSN program from another college, do you have to submit SAT scores?
Also I am curious, do you still get to experience the UCLA college life or are u separated from the regular campus? and can u take classes at the regular UCLA campus?
Is it true international students are not eligible for scholarships at UCLA nursing
Do I admit after high school?
I thought she dropped out of high school?
Is it true international students are not eligible for scholarships
Calculus for nursing school? 👌👌
1 1/2 wwoooowooowoooo
I am interested in the program and I have searched about the info and some experience of other people long time but I still wonder something about the ways into BSN program. The one thing I wonder is in the case of nursing program I can study all of the fundamental subjects in community college and then I can transfer into any university for BSN degree, No need to complete in ADN first right?
I wonder something about America education system because I am not sure how much I clearly understand about it. As you know, your country has the education system which students able to earn the credit in the fundamental subjects at a community college and then they able to transfer their credit into the bachelor degree at the university but in the case of nursing program (I would like to mention it as an example), the community college offer the Associate program of nursing, as I know all students who want to get into the program, they need to study the prerequisite courses at the community college first and then they able to apply to the program ....okay now we come to the big point I wonder, the question is ... after they finish the prerequisite courses, they will have 2 ways for that right? First one, they can apply to the ADN program at the community college and second one, they can apply to any university for becoming to the transfer student right? That means they able to do the same way like other major right? No need to apply the ADN program and complete it first for going to the BSN program.
Sorry for my too long text. Thank you for your info in advance Miki ^^
how did you finished high school early?
Good grades
i want to get in Upenn or Ucla
What high school did you attend?
Brendan Wilson monta vista hs
Or you could CLEP all of those tests for $80 without taking the college classes
Are u Nepalese???
what if you got admitted to a different major, can you switch your major into nursing?
kristel I can answer this because I looked into it. No. The nursing program is direct entry meaning when you apply for it that is the major you get accept with. Also if you get rejected with this major you are rejected altogether from attending UCLA meaning you cannot attend with a different major as a back up. I knew a girl who was lucky enough to get a spot a couple years ago.
i really want that sweater tho lol
U R Cute!
u seems very smart. why did you want to become a nurse instead of a doctor?
ur teeth..
Miki so cute😉
