Uic 2015 bsn waitlisted

dp94 · Apr 21, 2015

Ranked means students have been put on a number scale by how good they were through essays, interview, gpa and etc. So they rank them in that order. We just don't know what number we are on! So they know who they want first and rank it by that. Goodluck! What is your background, if you dont mind me asking

Thank you! I volunteer at Northwestern, I have a 3.5 science GPA and a 3.3 regular GPA and I've job shadowed at various hospitals. I also have a CPR/AED certification.

Thanks dp94! Now, I'm just curious as to how many people normally don't accept their offers, and where we stand as ranked applicants! I'm sure they can't give that information out though...I was reading through other threads and it seems as if a good number of people have a chance of getting a call back...but I don't want to be too optimistic! Good luck guys!!!

Thats amazing scorzd! I wish you the best!

And yes! I agree with you Kitkat22! All we hope is for a phone call or an email!

Does anyone know if the wait list of 40 people is for the UIC campus only, or both for UIC and Urbana? (Cause maybe U of I has a separate wait list with another set of applicants?)

Thanks guys! I hope we all get a call you guys will all make great nurses!

dp94 · Apr 22, 2015

I believe it could be one! since it gave us the option to either accept a spot at UIC, uofi or both!

dp94 · May 11, 2015

Did you guys hear anything yet?

Kitkat222, BSN, RN · May 11, 2015

Nope, but I think so people for U of I got contacted already...Did you guys hear anything yet?

dp94 · May 12, 2015

Nopeeee! And really? Wowww! I hope we hear next week!

scorzd · May 12, 2015

Will we hear either way if it's good news or bad news?

Kitkat222, BSN, RN · May 12, 2015

I think we only find out if we're taken off the wait list. I doubt there's any official rejection/end of the wait list. We could be waiting as late till before the first day of school :/ but hopefully we will hear sooner!
