Just wanted to start a UIC thread here since the acceptance/denial letters will be going out soon. I expect to get the decision by April 15.
NoI 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 was wondering the same thing! It said it was a formal response form? Do you know what its for? Is it so they can see if we want to stay on the waiting list?
hi everyone, good luck to all of you who applied:)
i am planning on doing the early application for fall of 2011. i was hoping you guys could fill me in on some things.
Does anyone know how essential it is to have experience volunteering or working at a hospital to get into UIC because i am having a lot of difficulty volunteering at any hospital. they have waiting lists and i am not a CNA or anything. has anyone been accepted without that experience?
i do have a 3.8 GPA, finished with most prereqs at one of the city colleges, and can write some good essays but is that enough?
are there any transfer students here who got accepted into the program?
also, has anyone here tried applying for early admissions and got pushed to regular admissions? and if so, were you accepted in regular admissions?
thanks!
Hello browneyedgirl
Here is my stats: (accepted to regular admissions)
4.0 overall GPA
80 hours ER volunteer at hospital
No hospital work experience
Male (may not matter)
When I wrote my personal statements/essays, I focused strongly on my interactions with diverse cultures, real life experiences (I'm 34), and also my financial need to advance my skills/education. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
