I'm new to the allnurses.com site and am so impressed at the wealth of information available on here. Kudos to everyone who participates and posts- sharing your knowledge is so valuable, especially to newbies like me! So, I wanted to start a roll call for Jan 2010 UIC GEP applicants on here.
Yes, it may be a little early considering applications aren't due until March 2009, but I'm super excited (and terrified). I'd love the opportunity to commiserate with some fellow students over the intimidating application process. I just started studying for the GRE and am feeling like I need to go back to the second grade to re-learn basic math!! Did anyone else have this same experience?
I'm 26, work full time in a completely non-health care field, graduated with a degree in Philosophy and pre-med emphasis (don't worry, I came to my senses right out of college and decided med school is not the most effective way (for me) to make a difference!). Most of my pre-reqs are done, except for A&P II and the Research Methods course. I'm having trouble getting letters of reccommendation, shadowing a NP, and studying the GRE (test anxiety...yuck!). Hope to hear from you guys!
I just submitted the last part of my UIC app! That was my last application to submit, and I'm so glad they're done! The page on mine also ends after the prereq chart and says "no email" for my recommenders.
Looks like they'll be done reviewing applications by March 20th, and will make final decisions (after interviews) by April 13th. That's about a month earlier than last year, which is nice.
I'm also an applicant for UIC GEP, for midwifery! Would you all mind posting if you are given an interview? I am very anxious . . .. good luck to everyone!
Hi aspiring midwife! I was also invited to interview! I'm going at 10am on April 1st. Are you from the area or out of state? Would you have time to have coffee afterwards?
I applied to adult/geriatrics NP and haven't heard anything, either. I think acute care and adult/geriatrics are under the same faculty umbrella (biobehavioral health science), so maybe they just haven't finished reviewing those specialties yet.

Ah, okay, thank you-- it didn't occur to me to go back to the original email.
No, my resume is not there either, nor is the resume question there-- it just ends after the chart where you enter your pre-reqs.
