Hi everyone! I just applied for Fall 2015 entry to the Graduate Entry Program at UIC! Anyone else apply? I'm hoping to talk to some other people who are also excited/nervous about hearing back! :-)
I think my application was strong academically and in terms of the essays and recs, but I started my prereqs right after graduating last spring so I haven't had time to get any hands-on health care experience, which I hope won't be too much of a negative on my app. Does anyone know what kind of GPA and experience they look for? Also- does everyone have to interview?
Maybe if someone has their interview on Friday they can clue us in on how they structured it? I read once on a forum about a group interview in which each applicant had to write his or her answer down before reading it aloud and another where it was sort of round-robin, everyone got different questions.
my interview for uic is tomorrow so ill let you all know. also, the sound didn't work for me either. are all of the 3 powerpoint documents essentially the same?
So thru the email, we got one link of the documents but if you go to the signupgenius page, theres a completely different link for a different program I think
I think the link on the signup page is just for the AGMS program, which I believe is included in the GEP curriculum (please correct me if I'm wrong) but also offered as a stand-alone program for RN's. I could get the sound on that one, but not on the GEP presentation sent in the body of the email.
On another note- it's so amazing to hear from other people who are applying. You all sound really friendly! It makes me feel better to think of going into an interview with folks like you, who are hopeful and a bit nervous just like me :-) Good luck everyone!!!
Hello! So I downloaded it and the sound worked. Hopefully it works for everyone by just downloading it first.
Aww! Everyone seems really nice, I agree. And if we're going to be future nursing students together, we're going to need to help each other out :) I hope you all get in! I had my UIC interview today and it went well. There were 4 of us total. Nothing they asked really threw me off guard. Every student had to answer every question. So it was pretty fair. Time just flew by!
If you don't mind me asking, what type of questions did they ask? Do you feel they got to know you as an individual even though it was a group interview. Was it just questions or group exercises? Any other details would be awesome too. I have my interview March 10.
