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?

They are I spoke with one of the nursing chair members and she email me on Tuesday saying they're still reviewing applications. Don't be discouraged ! 

Specializes in Emergency Room Technician.

I was admitted in the first round.

I was originally told I would know by 5/16, then it got pushed back to 6/2. I've called, emailed, logged onto the open hours through zoom and still have gotten no answer. I also had to write a concession letter for my GPA, so I'm hoping I still have a chance. I wrote an email to the nursing admissions committee chairperson a bit ago. Crossing my fingers!!

I just received an offer a few minutes ago and accepted it right away.

Congratulations Empress Moon!!

Thank you. 

Also this is for the Practical Nursing program. I plan on doing the RN bridge program right after this. 

I had a pretty low GPA as well but high TEAS score but was never given the chance to write a concession letter. Did the nursing department email you saying you could write the letter? I'm a little confused on how some students got the opportunity to write a letter explaining their GPA.

Yes it was an email from (MODERATOR EDIT). Saying that the nursing admissions committee wants me to write a concession letter explaining my low GPA and it had to be sent directly to them.
