UIC fall 2016 BSN program

Published

Hey guys!! As you know applications have already been turned in and the interview process has begun. I'm so nervous for April 15th to roll around because thats usually the date in which most people receive their decisions. My GPA is a 3.70 and I'm a volunteer at UIC Hospital and have been fortunate enough to have leadership positions on campus. Such as being the President to PTK honors society and Vice President of Student Government. I'm not a UIC pre-nursing student, I currently attend a community college. This sometimes scares me since I've been told that they have a high preference for UIC pre-nursing students since they know that they can handle UIC courses. I wanted to start this discussion board so that I can get some feed back and also see what everyone else is thinking and try to survive this next month together.

Thanks!!

Hello! I'm excited to see a topic was made for our applicant pool. This next month and a half is going to be nail-biting. Good luck to everyone

Current uic bsn student here. There are plenty of transfer students in our school. Many of them do better than the uic pre nursing students. Good luck to everyone

I have also applied for fall 2016 BSN program and I am so nervous for April! I am currently enrolled at Saint Xavier University, but applied for UIC because it is my dream school. I currently volunteer at Lurie Children's Hospital and have a 3.69 GPA. I felt like the interview questions were a little unexpected and were not like the handouts they emailed us.

Personally I think my interview went good but I do agree that I didn't expect them to ask the handful of questions that they did. I expected questions regarding leadership or why uic or why nursing but I didn't get asked any of those which was unexpected. Hope this next month doesn't go by too slow.

Hello,

I applied last year and I was in the forum you were also in. I was waitlisted, but ended up not getting in. I am now at Saint Xavier University and I will be starting my clinical in the Fall of 2016 here. However, I reapplied to UIC just because it is my dream school and I feel that my application is stronger this year. The interview process was a little different and they have not changed any statuses on the online application. How is the nursing program going for you?

Scorzd I remember you, the program is good and challenging. I actually know a girl in the program who went to St Xavier after being wait listed and got accepted second time round. Good luck!

Hello!

I applied to Urbana campus and they said Urbana people will be notified between April 1- April 15. I highly doubt that they would send the email today though.
