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. ?

Exactly your right. I am just in an extremely tough position. NIU school of nursing accepted me right away and I know people who got denied from NIU. I just have no idea if I should accept the waitlist and continue to accept entry to NIU in case? No idea what to do ?

I would absolutely accept both. You always can follow up with an email to NIU later on explaining your situation but it’s a very common practice that  students need to do while waiting to hear from all of the programs they applied to.

You are absolutely right! Thank you so much for the advice I really appreciate it, I will accept both. And just wait to hear back from UIC before august I believe they would reupdate waitlisted students? Not sure how exactly things are going to be arranged but I really hope UIC does let me know as soon as possible. The waiting process is the worst

Agreed!! The good news is that student must accept seats within 2 weeks and pay deposit for them so the chances are the students will hear within that time. Also, UIC  got better this year with sending those letters out a week earlier than last year. Best of luck and I hope you’ll hear from UIC very soon ☺️

Congrats everyone! so proud of all of you guys; getting the interview alone was amazing. And for those waitlisted, do not lose hope! Theres some who don't accept, don't finish required classes by the deadline, etc. Also where do we submit deposits?

I am with you! Don't lose hope as Neuro_domi and harlem32 stated, people deny admissions/acceptance. I would love to further chat with anyone waitlisted to keep each other posted!

I did not get an email at all! And the status of my application just says submitted. Did anyone else not get an email?
