Since I got waitlisted at UIC, northern is my last chance for getting into a BSN program Has anyone heard anything yet? Also, does anyone know anything about how competitive it is to get in, I sort of applied on a whim and I don't know much about...

I was on the wait list last year, and they would not tell me anything about my rank I tried calling for info once or twice, you can always give it a try though and hope for the best. They did tell me that the times when people are most likely to g...

Well I didn't find out until like June because I was on the waitlist, but I think they said April for general admission. I do remember it taking a few weeks longer than they said it would for emails to go out though...if you don't hear anything in a...

I only ever heard good things about Truman, aside from the HESI debacle which, if I understand correctly, has been resolved. With your stats and prereqs done, I'm sure you can get in there. But don't discount UIC, keep the hope alive!!! :) Several...

I know, I was soooo stressed when I was applying. And since I didn't immediately get accepted I was even more stressed out. I think that most people accepted the first time around had GPAs upwards of 3.5. Mine was a bit lower (3.3 ish) because of ...

I was just accepted into the BSN program off the waitlist, and I took all of my prereqs through the city college system (Truman and Wright). In order to apply by the January deadline, you need 3 of the five science courses done before then, which me...

I just got admitted off the list today! I just want to jump up and down I'm so happy I hope you got a call too, let me know! E Fern told me in May that the beginning of July (now) and the few days before classes start are the times spots open up m...

It is not lottery anymore, and as far as I know there is no benefit to applying early. Several people I know waited till the last few days to get all the paperwork done (including me), and we all got in to the program. Wait till you are done with 2...

No I wish I knew. Have you (or anyone else waitlisted) gotten anything in the mail? The email said we should receive a formal letter in a week or so, and I'm wondering if there is any further info.
I have done all the pre reqs and co reqs (BIO 121, 226, 227, CHEM 100/121, and MICRO 233 all at Truman; plus English I and II and two math courses out of state). I'll be there for classes tomorrow anyways so I'll stop in later in the day. Hopefully...
Ok, this must be a mistake and I'm wondering if anyone else got this letter. Around the 19th I got the letter saying I was accepted to Truman YAY!!! I brought back the form saying I would attend and which schedule I wanted the next day. Then toda...

Same here, the waiting is driving me insane!!! I wish someone would say how many people got in, waitlisted, and where you are on the list. I feel like my life is on hold indefinitely...Hopefully some people get pulled off the wait list after all th...

If I were you I would play it safe and just take a regular anthropology course, it should work. But once you find one you should call UIC and ask an advisor if it is ok.
anna_banana replied to UICBSN2012's topic in Illinois
Thanks, I need all the hope I can get :) In the email there was nothing about where on the list I am, and it said that if I was to be offered a spot it could be anytime between now and August. At this point I really don't know what I will do. I pl...

I just got my letter, and I got accepted but for Spring 11, which is really confusing because I thought I was applying for Fall 10...? Nobody is answering in the office, probably because it's almost 5pm. Which semester were you accepted into? It see...

I got accepted to Truman. I don't remember exactly what my score was but I got very close to the maximum. I had already finished and gotten A's in all of the science and gen ed requirements, so the only points I didn't get were for CNA, EMT etc.
anna_banana replied to UICBSN2012's topic in Illinois
Same for me, I got accepted at Truman but UIC is my first choice by far, and I don't know how long I should wait around... I'm really impressed that you even got a hold of Ms. Fern and she told you those things... This is so frustrating!
anna_banana replied to wildorchid's topic in Pre-Nursing
I have also been waitlisted. I am so devastated, as UIC was by far my first choice of schools. Is there anybody at UIC now who was put on the wait list last year and can give us some insight into how long it took, what your stats were, etc? I did ...
