I applied to a few other schools for nursing, but they all denied me too. ? I'm an average student, but man... Didn't I think I was denied by 4 school average (3.2 GPA, work full time at an animal hospital) I'll being going to ISU for Medical laboratory Science. Which after researching it, it's just as important at nursing in the medical field. Maybe this is a sign that I'm just not meant to be a nurse. How do you know it's a lottery pick waitlist?

Hey, if you don't mind my asking, what was your GPA and resume like? I got waitlisted, and I put down Chicago as my 1st choice, but open to the other two campus. I got an email saying that I was pulled from the waitlist for Springfield. I had to deny the Springfield campus due to personal reasons that came up, but I'm wondering why I wasn't pulled for Chicago's campus but for Springfield.

If you don't mind me asking, what is your GPA and resume like? I just emailed Jon Reye backing declining the offer for the Springfield campus. I put down Chicago as my first choice.

I didn't get into ISU nursing program. They denied me for their program ? but accepted me as a student. All the schools I applied for denied me which I can't blame them. I'm an average student (3.2 GPA and no sports/clubs). I'm going to do their medical laboratory science. I enjoyed the lab portion of working at an animal hospital.

Hey, I got an email today asking if I was still interested in the program, because a few spots opened up at the Springfield campus. I have until Monday to let them know. IDK if I'm going to take it. I was getting prepared to move to ISU for MLS. If it was the Chicago campus, I would have accepted it but Springfield is farther away.

For anyone on the waitlist (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) said, "I’m still working through emails, so apologies for the delay if you’ve reached out. I will send a confirmations by the end of next week stating whether or not we’ve received a response from you." Also if you get pulled from the waitlist and get accepted can you guys let us know. Please and thank you!

I tried to register again but is said I already submitted so I’m hoping I did it right. I know that the deadline for us to register is April 30, but I’m talking about when will the university let us know. They said in the email that there is no date, but I just don’t want to find out I got accepted after I move to Illinois State.

I got waitlisted too. ? I wonder if they have a "deadline" for the waitlist students. I've heard where some students get waitlisted, and then the university accepts them a week before classes start. I would hate that considering my back up plan is Illinois State and I would have to move there. Also, for the people who were waitlisted, did you enter your name and email address? Did you get a confirmation that you signed up for the waitlist? When I submitted to be put on the list I never got a confirmation email so did they not send one or did I enter the wrong email?

I'm kind of glad I know when we will hear, but also not. The next two weeks are going to go so slow.

I applied to ASU, Illinois State, University of Wisconsin, University of Utah and UIC (all 3 campuses). I'm trying to take out as little loans as possible. So the out-of-state schools are a big risk but they offer a lot more than just a nursing program. I applied to UIC last year (2020) and they denied me due to GPA. So if I don't get in this year, I'm not going to wait another year again. Based off the available seats last year, and the number of interviews this year, I think only 10 students are not getting in....? I looked at school with late acceptance but they are schools that didn't offer much or I didn't meet the requirement (I.e. missing classes) Illinois State accepted me as a student and I picked Medical Lab Science. I'm already looking into being a traveling MLS so it's not that far off being a traveling nursing. Just less money, but Illinois State gave me a grant and I only need about $3,000 in loan per semester. Beside getting a BSN, another goal is to graduate with as little loans as possible.

Moraine accepts in-district students first. ? So even if you have a 3.5 GPA, they will accept that in-district student that has a 3.0 GPA first. (My friend was going to go to Moraine until they told her that). I know a few people that went to Chamberlain, but it's just so expensive for what it offers. I was thinking about it too. If I got to Illinois State, most of my tuition would be paid off by grants.

Yeah. ? It's not looking too good. A lot of schools accepted me as a student, but said no to their nursing program. UIC is the last school to hear from. It's they deny me then I'll be going to Illinois State for Medical Laboratory Science, and just give up on being an RN. I'm hoping I get in.

UIC, ASU, University of Wisconsin, and Illinois State University.

Based off when people found out last year, I would assume the week of 12 - 16 of April.

Did anyone else get an email for UIC College of Nursing scholarships? It was due on the 7th. I did it and it was real simple. It asked what campus I'm going too. I put Chicago but what if I don't get in Chicago but Springfield instead? Can the scholarship be transferred to Springfield? Springfield and Champaign were options, but I could only pick one.

I put down the Chicago campus as my first option, Champaign as my second, and Springfield as my third. Since a lot of students apply to UIC I wanted a few backup plans and Illinois State is one of them and the other out of state schools I applied too.

I think I did okay. I hope my answers made sense. I really don't remember much because I was so stressed out. The interview is just a foggy memory. LOL It sucks that we have to wait a month. My friend had an interview the same week we had ours and she will find out this week if she gets in (it was for a different university and different program though). Has anyone heard back from any other school? I'm still waiting to hear back from Illinois State University, and University of Utah (expected to get denied from there due to a missing class). ?

I've heard mix things about Chamberlains nursing program. Some people tell me not to go, and that it's really expensive with hidden fees, and others tell me they enjoyed it and got jobs right after graduating. I have an interview with UIC for their program, and I got accepted into University of Arizona's Biology Major but I'm thinking of the "what if's." For anyone who went to Chamberlain, or has any experience with them what is your opinion? The only issue I have with them is how "pushy" they are. I signed up for information from them about two weeks ago, and ever since then I've been getting emails, calls, and text from them every other day.

Update: Concerned about not getting a confirmation link. I signed up again for the same time and day. Within minutes I got a confirmation email. Wonder if I just didn't enter the right information since I was at work. ? Ope.

So I got an interview! What kind of questions did they ask? Supper nervous. I've only had 4 job interviews in my whole life. 2 of which I didn't get the job. What are things to do/not do during a virtual interview?

I got an interview!! Super nervous. I got rejected from the Nursing program at a UW-Madison, but got accepted for a Biology Major at University of Arizona. It was a roller-coaster of emotions today. LOL My interview is on Tuesday. Did anyone get a confirmation email regarding your interview? I never got a confirmation but emailed myself a link to the zoom site. Does anyone know what kind of questions they will ask?

No, I was denied. Back then my transcripts said I had a 3.0 GPA, but when I saw everyone getting their interview calls I called to see my status. They told me I was denied because I had a 2.73 GPA and the requirements a 2.75. IDK how they calculate it. They tried to explain it but I was so confused. So I retook a few classes to raise my GPA. Really hope I get in. I had the medical director write my letter of recommendation so I really hope that gives me a boost.

I know this is an old form, but if you feel comfortable will you being willing to say what was your GPA, extracurricular activities, and if you got accepted/denied/waitlist? I'm just trying to figure my chances. ? Reading that people with a 4.0 GPA get denied scares me.

I submitted my app for UIC yesterday. I'm anxious for the result. So for anyone else who applied what is your GPA and your extracurricular activities? I'm a transfer student with a 3.2 GPA and I've worked at an animal hospital for 3 years. I got denied last year due to my GPA so I'm just trying to figure out my chances, and where I can improve if I get denied again. ?
