Hi everyone! I just applied for Fall 2015 entry to the Graduate Entry Program at UIC! Anyone else apply? I'm hoping to talk to some other people who are also excited/nervous about hearing back! :-) I think my application was strong academically and ...

I did too! Congrats guys! Hang in there, americar1. About the Graduate school thing, heard it is just a formality.

So I was looking into checking your admissions status online and UIC's graduate school page says "Applications referred to the department will be noted as such. You will also be able to see if your application has been referred to the Graduate Colleg...

Not yet. I wonder if "mid-April" means today or sometime this week... Good luck!!

That's what I heard, too, mid-April.

So glad that interview is done! I agree though! It was very friendly. Eeek now we just have to wait. We hear by mid-April, right?

Thank you soni7! Very kind of you to fill us in :-)

Mine's a bit later on in the afternoon. Good luck!!

I have mine on March 10th, too! What time is yours, Vanngo?

I think the link on the signup page is just for the AGMS program, which I believe is included in the GEP curriculum (please correct me if I'm wrong) but also offered as a stand-alone program for RN's. I could get the sound on that one, but not on the...

Maybe if someone has their interview on Friday they can clue us in on how they structured it? I read once on a forum about a group interview in which each applicant had to write his or her answer down before reading it aloud and another where it was ...

So I called the admissions coordinator to ask about flying in versus Skyping (I live in D.C.) and I also asked him about the format of the interviews- they are indeed interviewing 4 of us at once. Which I guess probably makes it easier on us, so that...

That makes sense! I couldn't get the sound either

Since there are 165ish interview slots and they extended the application deadline, I wonder if they only received that many applications this year for Chicago. Or else maybe they didn't extend interviews to a small number of people who didn't meet th...

I bet you're right about the single room for 4 people and 2 listed rooms for 8 meaning group interviews, MME20. I agree with all of you, that seems pretty short for a group! Maybe it will be easier? haha who knows. Let us know how it goes soni7! Good...

Oh gosh! I was imagining that the four spots per time slot were for interviews with four different interviewers and therefore individual. But I bet you're right!! That would make sense. I've never been in a group interview before, I wonder what they ...

I got the same email! Judging by the number of interview slots (which was like 160ish or something) I'm guessing they're interviewing everyone who met the requirements. But we should still be happy! One step closer to our goal :-). I'm not sure what ...

It says on the website that interviews, if required, are April, and decisions come out in early May. Eeek! I have to find a way to be nonchalant or between now and then I'm going to worry myself into a pool of mush on the floor, haha. As for the acce...

Oh and I applied to Chicago. What about you? And yes, I was thinking the same thing when they extended it! Hopefully that will help us! :-) I wonder who they'll ask to do interviews, if it will be everyone who's application looked good to them, or if...

That's wonderful! I'm sure it will be a big help to your application :-) So then the acceptance rate could be as low as a 26%. I would imagine that's the right number since you can only apply to one campus with your application and the pools are like...

Does anyone know how the acceptance rates/what they look for in applicants has changed now that the GEP is a general MS and not specialty? I just applied for Fall 2015 and I'm so curious what kind of a chance I have! I've seen alot of posts about 20%...
