UIC Fall 2021 BSN Program

Updated:   Published

I submitted my app for UIC yesterday. I'm anxious for the result. So for anyone else who applied what is your GPA and your extracurricular activities? I'm a transfer student with a 3.2 GPA and I've worked at an animal hospital for 3 years. 
I got denied last year due to my GPA so I'm just trying to figure out my chances, and where I can improve if I get denied again. ? 

Good luck everyone !!

Since there’s slots with 10 people and some with 5, do you think we’ll only have around 5-6 minutes total for each person to speak? Also I saw something about creating a one-minute commercial of ourselves, did anyone else peep that during the mock interviews? Good luck to everyone!! ?

There will be 2 interviewers and for the 10 students im guessing we will be in breakout rooms 1 interviewer with 5 students and the other interviewer with the other 5 students in another breakout room

How many questions do you guys think there's going to be? Since the interview is only good for 30 minutes and there are 5 students in each session. So, IDK how it will work.

We will be asked possibly 5 questions or less depending on each response and how long it will take for each person to respond

I know we would have a writing portion with the interview if we had it in-person. For those who had the interview already, is the writing part still applicable to this year?

There isn't a writing portion considering it would be an extra 30 minutes which they don't have enough time to cover that

I feel like my group overall did pretty well. I expected to feel more nervous but surprisingly I wasn’t at all (well maybe a bit haha)
