Hi there! I applied also, but not to Urbana. I submitted mine last night! Ahhhhh!!! Essays were what scared me the most. Do you know what they are looking for in regards to recommendation letters?

Hey Ariba! I originally planned to go to workshop, but I called them and asked of they would critically review essays, and they said they would not. That's the only reason I was interested in checking out. I submitted my application last night! Ahh!!! I want to give my professor enough time as she is in china and doesn't have easy access to Internet. All I am waiting for Is my recommendation letters to be received.

So nervous!! Let me know how the workshop goes!!!

They aren't?? Hmm do you think it would be a waste of time to go there then? Because if that's the case.. I rather stay home and finish up my essay and submit my application today. Yea i'm a little worried about the rec. letters i really hope my professors do a good job. I',m so nervous too and the essays are hard because of the word limit... ughh i need people to proof read them. that's mainly why i'm going to the workshop

I spoke with someone and she said they would not have time to read essays. Just give you ideas on how to me a competitive applicant. I just wanted extra input, but my goal was to get them in ASAP. You could go and give it a shot if you are not pressured on time. I just want to give enough time to recommenders to write something good for me instead of rushing them. Word limit was my problem as well as I wrote so much, so I had problems cutting everything down.

I have a quick question for anyone who might know.

I also applied to UIC Nursing Urbana Campus for the Fall 2013 semester and was trying to calculate my natural science GPA. Do I just take all the natural science courses taken the past three semesters, add up the total points, and divide by the total credits?

Also, should I calculate this without pluses and minuses? They don't have those at UIC correct?

Thanks
