Hey! I've been lurking on these threads, haven't posted in forever. But I'm not applying this year simply because I can't due to UCSF's pre-req policy. I am finishing microbiology right now. I'm hoping they don't make anymore (major) changes by next ...

I've contemplated applying to Rush or De Paul, but a part of me feels that I might be forcing things to happen that might not be the best thing for me necessarily. A part of me just doesn't want to take the time and effort (at least right now) of col...

check your emails... I won't be joining you all unfortunately

Guess it won't be today...

I don't know how familiar you are with the program, but UIC has a different application deadline, interview timeline, and start-term than other programs. Acceptances should be sent out by the end of next week. Thanks for your concern though! :)

I have my fingers and toes crossed for Friday.

Last year they didn't know until May 2nd so we have a few days. I'm still going to check the forum compulsively though...

My birthday is this weekend so I was definitely hoping we would hear by Friday but I'm TRYING not to get my hopes up lol

Well the coordinators only submitted their feedback on the 26th (supposedly). It hasn't been a full week and its not even May yet, so I'm not surprised that we might have to wait another week. Calm breathing and meditation.

Tuck, she stated it was the director back on pg. 57

Lol @ old fart. I think that age is probably the last thing they consider when admitting ppl. No ageism being practiced over here. I did send a thank you letter via email after my interview.

22, turning 23 very soon though.

@rain, I felt the same in regard to being younger than the other applicants. I arrived after everyone though so I wasn't able to talk to the others as much about their degrees, ages, etc. During the info session, the director actually spoke to those ...

got it lol

No one should be a nurse that is applying to this program. Unless I'm reading your post incorrectly.

I had 7. There was 1 individual who the interviewers acknowledged had switched from FNP to Psych (tad awkward). My interviewer stated the 22nd had the most people. Good to know it should be 12-13 ppl.

sorry I couldn't post yesterday, had a test tonight that needed my full attention. I reiterate everything said by Kwolikowa though. Info session --> one-on-one interview. She definitely read my personal statement because she asked two questions in...

me too lol

Yea, 2015 is the hypothetical year but that's not going to happen. Add at least 5+ years to that before you get any kind of across the board standardization. If UIC present the opportunity for me to get a DNP before being awarded my MSN, I will take ...

Check the bottom of your email invite. Her name is listed. First name starts with a M.

That's good to hear! I'm not anticipating a lot of issues since I'm Psych but then again you never know. Just hoping that there will be a lot of job fairs and networking events to attend to get myself out there. I have friends who've complained about...

I agree. A lot of direct-entry programs that do NOT have the combined BSN/MSN seem to have this issue. Unfortunately like yourself, I don't know if there is an across the board preference for BSN grads, but I do know that BSN grads are preferred in h...

Wow that's crazy that we (hopefully) are the last class! Did they mention why they are eliminating the program? I'm thinking it has to do with maybe the DNP? Thanks for all the information! I will do the same after my interview on Monday

I have no idea. I didn't see a mention of group interviews. If anything it will probably be very small groups and then a one-on-one. " The faculty of the PMHNP concentration invites you to an applicant interview session. We have set aside three days ...

@kwolikowa – how'd you cancel your previos registration?
