UIC GEP 2013

Published

Anyone applying to UIC's graduate entry program starting Jan. 2013? I've glanced at the threads from the past couple of year's and thought I'd start one for the next application cycle. I'm finishing up pre-reqs and taking the GRE in a month. Good luck to all who plan on applying!

I found this board this morning, after freaking out for the past couple weeks because I haven't heard anything about my application. I applied for the FNP speciality and just saw some people received emails for interviews. My question is has anyone received an rejection letter or email? Will they email a rejection response?

Has anyone had their interview yet? How did it go?

I have been wondering that myself. My guess is that they will email the rejection letter but I am not sure. If I do get notification I promise to post no matter which decision UIC makes!

I doubt they'll be THAT impersonal by e-mailing rejection letters. I paid good money to at least get a formal letter of rejection.

To those who are still waiting for a response (like me):

I caved and emailed Julie Kim. I asked her when to expect an invitation for an interview and notification of rejection. This was her response:

We are currently still reviewing applications, and we appreciate your patience. If applicants are not selected for an interview they will be notified in the2nd or 3rd week of April.

Well the second week of April is Monday. Thank you for posting her response! At least I can close my email today and relax a little. They must have gotten a lot more applicants than anticipated. Best of luck to everyone with interviews next week.

I interviewed on Wednesday. I think it went well. Standard questions. I had one lady interviewer.

Hey! I'm so sorry, we've been so busy with clinicals and I haven't thought to check back here. Ask me anything! Congrats on your interview. Don't stress, you'll be great!!

The was meant for jamesee and whoever else has questions. I'm in the FNP track, but could probably answer generic questions from others concerning interview set-up, break down of interview day, etc.. although I'm not sure they were all the exact same.

Do you know how many people they interview, and if everyone is contact at the same time? Still haven't heard anything for FNP yet..

Honestly, I'm not sure if they contact everyone at the same time. They interviewed 25 of us last year and selected 10. I know a ton of people apply for FNP each year, so it wouldn't surprise me if they informed people in cycles as they have so many applicants. Good luck!

I actually have a few questions if you don't mind me asking. I'm interviewing for FNP and was just wondering what kind of questions they ask. I assume they will be generic like: why nursing? But did any questions catch you off guard? And one more, do you have younger students in your class as well? I'm turning 22 and am afraid that my age is too young since I "lack life experience". :/ Thank you so much for your time!
