UIC Graduate Entry Program

Hi folks,

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 think that both programs are competitive and prestigious. However, I think Marquette may be a little easier to get in to. I'm not completely sure though. I will say, however, I have been to Milwaukee many of times and I have lived in Chicago for years and Chicago is definitely a better city to live in. Great public transportation and so much character!

    I haven't received anything. But I wonder if that's because my application is complete.

    @sittenfeld, same here. No email, but my application is complete (including all of my recommendations). That makes me feel less worried :)

    Kwerner-- You sound like you have real life experience to me! But I think you're a good candidate. I'm definitely jealous of you being bilingual, I've been practicing my speaking skills daily.

    Kwerner- what are you talking about?! You have incredible amount of experience! You seem like a very competitive applicant :)

    And thanks for the input for Marquette and UIC.

    I finished my supplemental but none of my recommenders have responded to my request. They said they will finish it before the deadline. So I'm not worried... :)

    Three more days to the deadline.

    Then another month of waiting.

    sigh.

    Speaking of, my friends have been teasing my about the snow storm in Chicago, asking if I am ready to give up the 70 degree weather in LA for that.

    Eh the snow storm isn't that bad compared to the 20-incher we had a couple years ago. ;)

    Greetings everyone! I'm glad I finally found the thread for the 2014 cycle. I am also applying to UIC for the PMHNP program. Reading all of these comments has made me very nervous about my lack of volunteer work. I have worked full-time for basically my whole college career. I have a BS 3.4 GPA in dietetics from Dominican University and I am an Illinois resident, although originally from Poland (like half of Chicago's population lol) Anyhow, good luck to everyone! I submitted all my stuff and now it's just a waiting game for the interviews...gulp.
