Hi all!
I also applied for FNP, and was surprised to visit the forum and see that anyone applying for the GEP has received invitations to interview this early! UIC must really be on top of things, because it took months for other schools to get this far in the process.
I saw some applicants stressing about credentials. Don't stress! If your heart's in it, then it will show
I'm crossing my fingers about UIC because I lived and worked in the medical district during college and feel very compelled to continue that journey in Chicago, but know my chances of getting in may be slimmer because I'm not an Illinois resident. I do have words of encouragement, though--my GPA is a "measly" 3.2 and my GRE score was 1100 (on the old test)...but, I have been accepted to all the schools I've applied to so far, including UPenn and JHU. So, it's not about the numbers. My advice to nursing school applicants is don't doubt yourself!!!
Unfortunately, money is also a big part of the decision (it's going to keep me out of those other programs) but hopefully UIC will be a bit more generous with scholarships and financial aid. Best of luck to everybody! All will be well
Apr 2, '12 by Medik231I was looking through the PDF's for Adult Acute Care and Adult Primary Care classes, and I noticed that they are the exact same classes. Does anyone happen to know what's different about them (like clinlical rotations)? I wasn't able to attend the information session UIC had for this program back in Feb, so I don't know if they brought this up or went into any detail about it.
