Thinking about applying to UIC's GEP program. Anybody here applied and was accepted? What were your stats?
My stats: 3.2 Overall GPA/3.5 Sci BA in Sociology. Office Manager in home health care, tech in a medical equipment co, medical assistant (no cert) in dr's office and later office manager there. Volunteering in Nursing Home around 120 hours...
From what I can tell on their website, after completing the NCLEX, you immediately start the master portion of the program. Is this correct?
I submitted mine with each essay roughly 600 words (some a few words over), because I was also unsure based on their guidelines. It probably doesn't matter TOO much how long or short they are, as long as the content is strong! :)
Yes there are definitely inconsistencies which is confusing. I just went with what I was emailed (and of course saved the email just in case) and only went 100 words over so hopefully I won't get penalized. It takes them a few days to reply to emails so hopefully you will receive a quicker answer by calling. And let us know even though it's too late for me.
Okay called and left a message to the director of the program about word limit!
and OMG this morning I got a call from UIC and they told me I applied for the wrong term (Fall 2013 instead of Spring 2014). I was like AHHHH sorry got too excited to attend UIC. LOL
Anyways, filled out another app. Supplemental should be on its way. Fee got waived. :)
