Malcolm X -City Colleges of Chicago School of Nursing Fall 2023

Published

Hey everyone, just starting a topic for people to discuss City Colleges of Chicago Nursing application process for fall 2023. I've had all my documents marked as complete for weeks now, status on my application just updated to "viable candidate". Anyone else hear anything? They haven't had very many info sessions this semester. Anyone know why?

The nursing admissions committee just sent an email saying that they reviewed my concession letter and if I complete my medical documents and background check that I can be offered a seat. But they have already been completed and shows complete on my portal. I sent an email letting her know and she told me to follow up with the clinical coordinator. So I sent them an email. We may still have a chance because others are still getting offers. 

Thank you for the information. I just saw this. I haven't heard anything from the nursing admissions committee about my application except for when they told me they were reviewing concession letters. Have you heard back after your last email?

The clinical coordinator haven't replied to my email yet. She was a CC in the email from the admissions committee so I guess she knows to start looking at my medical medical documents. I hope she lets me know something soon. You should email the admissions committee and see if they reviewed your letter. Maybe they're still getting to more people.

I just sent out an email, but I'm not sure if I emailed the right email. Hopefully we both hear back soon! There's hope!

I just checked my portal and my Admissions Cumulative GPA changed to waived and it shows viable candidate now. For the ones that had to write concession letters check your portal.

If you don't mind me asking what was your GPA? I did not meet the required GPA for admission but I was never given the opportunity to write a concession letter. Did you get an email saying you could write a letter? I have been in contact with a few people from the department earlier in the year but I never get a response.

I have a really low GPA. Too embarrassed to even say it here. But I think the only reason I was given a chance is because I actually did every prerequisite before a few years ago but got really sick and had to take a long leave of absence from school which I explained in my letter. This was right before I was getting ready to even be accepted into the nursing program. I have been retaking most science prerequisites these last few semesters because they are close to expiring and I still need it to do my BSN later at UIC. I think what also gave me a chance was because I did good on the TEAS.

I had to write a confession letter because my GPA was at a 2.74 and I was taking Chem 121 and AP226 this past Spring 23 semesters and now my GPA is at a 3.0. I just have to wait until they see my new current GPA. I didn't understand why I had to write a letter since I was actively taking two classes and my GPA was going be higher than the requirements by May13. But the told me I had to write one anyway. So that's the case for me.  I applied for the RN. Hope this helps.

Formal letters with orientation dates and info were sent out yesterday. I'd be surprised if anyone else was admitted to the program at this point.

Yea it's kinda late now. I wonder if they might still accept more students before the orientation.
