UIC GEP 2013 - Page 25

Congrats on your acceptance eidas! That is great news!

Thank you!

Can I please know what did everyone's stats looked like? ( gre, gpa, extra curricular) thank you so much! And congratulations on getting in! I wish nothing but the best for you all!!

My GPA and GRE were on the lower end of the spectrum, but I had 5 years in healthcare as a paramedic, as well as 3 years of academic research under my belt, so I think that's what made me stand out. The benefit of a program like this is that they don't just take your academic record into consideration (which is a good thing, and is unlike medical schools and PA programs). I don't think all programs work like this, though, as I was flat out rejected by DePaul's MSN program, but flat out accepted into UIC's....so.....I guess I those 5 years in EMS paid off in the end.... Doesn't matter...I'll take a top 10 ranked nursing program over a 176th ranked school any day...

Excellent! Thank you for your feedback! Good luck!

Is anyone attending the pathophysiology and/or clinical skills seminars?

I plan on attending both.

Is info on these seminars part of your welcome packet? I haven't gotten mine yet...

The info was sent in the beginning of May. Its sponsored by the Urban Health Program at UIC. I haven't received a welcome packet from the College of Nursing yet either.

When are those? I didn't get any info for them..
