UIC DNP

Published

Hey all,

I'm in the process of applying to UIC's DNP program specializing as a Neonatal NP. I have some questions I was hoping someone could answer for me.

1. For those of you currently in the program, what are your thoughts? Positive and negative are helpful.

2. I'm planning on doing the program part-time. How often are you required to be on campus?

3. For those of you working full-time, do you feel like it is manageable to work full-time and do the program part-time? Did you have to cut back on your hours?

4. What was the admission interview like?

5. If you have any information on admission rates or class sizes that would be helpful. I haven't been able to find much about the competitiveness of the program.

Thanks in advance!!

Callie16, I know this thread is old and that you might now be interested in law school, but did you ever find out the answer to your second question (how often are you required to be on campus)? I tried sending you a message, but the system wouldn’t let me.

Following to, I applied for fall 2020! Would love any insight on the application process: when interviews are offered, financial aid, how the program is in itself...

gatorem, I got interview invite today via email with a couple of days and times to choose from. I have to do the online from FL, it's expensive to fly within 2 weeks , hotels and all ? Dunno if that is their way of quietly throwing my app in the trash if I can't fly into Chicago to do it in person.

gatorem, It's a "Zoom" interview I believe. I'll have to look up that program, but I'm sure its similar to skype. It's probably a detriment but I can't fly up at that time, unfortunately. What specialty are you applying for? Any other schools? I can't find anyone or anything about UIC other than their website. I'm nervous. ? If I get in here, I'll move to Chicago. There are other schools in states I'd rather not live in, and ones I'd prefer to live in. lol. I'm just ready to get on with grad school!

I had my interview last week, how was yours? We won't find out until March! Also, I didn't realize the program was year-round so instate tuition will be about 90k. I was shocked.
