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. ?

How did your interviews go?? It’s gonna suck waiting a whole month to find out whether we got in or not

I think I did okay. I hope my answers made sense. I really don't remember much because I was so stressed out. The interview is just a foggy memory. LOL It sucks that we have to wait a month. My friend had an interview the same week we had ours and she will find out this week if she gets in (it was for a different university and different program though). 

Has anyone heard back from any other school? I'm still waiting to hear back from Illinois State University, and University of Utah (expected to get denied from there due to a missing class). ?

What about the UIC program in Springfield, Illinois? Same curriculum. lots of students who don't make it into UIC, do the same program in Springfield. Cost of living is cheaper too

I am very happy after all. I focused more on being myself since they are looking for a certain characters.  It does suck to wait all this time just to know whether we’re in or out, but I’m pretty optimistic at this point ( and hopeful ?).

I think it went pretty well! I was super nervous waiting for my time slot to begin and then when I was actually in the interview it went by so fast like a blur. As neurodomi mentioned about focusing on yourself, I did that as well hahaha basically highlighting myself. Hopefully time flies by because I hate playing the waiting game ? but nothing else we can do. uic nursing is super competitive so I’m proud of everyone getting their interviews, we’re so close now!

I put down the Chicago campus as my first option, Champaign as my second, and Springfield as my third. 

Since a lot of students apply to UIC I wanted a few backup plans and Illinois State is one of them and the other out of state schools I applied too.

I'm so grateful that we all had a great experience with the interviews! Now, we're in the hardest part of the application: the waiting game! I hope we all get in! All the best! ?

Did anyone else get an email for UIC College of Nursing scholarships? It was due on the 7th. I did it and it was real simple. It asked what campus I'm going too. I put Chicago but what if I don't get in Chicago but Springfield instead? Can the scholarship be transferred to Springfield?

Springfield and Champaign were options, but I could only pick one.

I did fill the form for the scholarships as well but I’m really looking forward to the merit transfer scholarship / PTK member scholarship. I’m not sure  if the scholarship would transfer from one campus to another, but you should certainly reach out to the admission’s office and finances to find that out!
