Anyone's applied to the UIC fall 2014 BSN program?

U.S.A. Illinois

Published

January 15 deadline has passed! I am extremely nervous and excited for April 2014 to come. I've been wondering. ..why does UIC take soooo long to make decisions for our applications? I am pretty scared because I did not apply at another University, all my marbles land on this ONE basket. All I can do is hope and pray I get in. Anyone that applied, feel free to post your comments and concerns on this thread. Best of luck to everyone!

Hello! I applied for Fall 2014 as well. I also applied to Aurora and NIU. I heard they are accepting around 90-100 applicants for this fall. My GPA is good, and I have 3+ years of healthcare experience. My essays were okay I suppose, and my teacher recommendations were done by my supervisor and my micro teacher. Good luck to you, and I hope we get in! :)

Last year, around 800 students applied for Fall 2013. They usually accept less than 100, so they take a long time deliberating who is fit for the program! It is super competitive, so they are looking for unique students. Let's keep our hopes up :)

Hey all,

I applied and been nervous and trying not to freak out! But just like H20POLOBRO, I received an email today about a group interview and writing sample. I am now ten times more nervous. I was invited to take part in both. Any of you all signed up? And did any of you know about this before? I went to the orientation back in November and it was NEVER mentioned.

Thoughts?

Good luck!

I have a week before the interview/writing session! I am still preparing. Good luck to everyone!! What are your guys' stats? Like GPA, experience, essays, etc. I have a 3.71 GPA (4.00 science GPA) and have volunteered/worked for a hospital for over 3 years.

Hi,

I have 4.0 until last semester. Getting a bit lazy this semester. I got my essays checked by a transfer adviser. I Volunteered on and off from 2010-2013. wow..you have it in a week. Good Luck. By the way, how are you preparing? I don't know what they are going to make us write. I feel like they are going to pick from the best students depending on their interview and writing skills. I am horrified. This is the only program I applied for.
