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?

Wow! You guys are so young! I'm one of the old farts...32! Yikes Anyway, everyone in my group was super friendly also. It was refreshing compared to other interviews I've attended. We had 2 men at my session, both super nice.

I, like, Tuckella, took all pre-med courses so I'm def hard science strong. But I lack quite a bit in research and volunteer work. Hopefully my work experience can offset that. I agree with rain, we should all get in.

Did you guys send a letter of intent to the interviewers?

Lol @ old fart. :D I think that age is probably the last thing they consider when admitting ppl. No ageism being practiced over here.

I did send a thank you letter via email after my interview.

What is a letter of intent?

Also, who told you there would be 12-13 admitted to the psych GEP? The director?

Tuck, she stated it was the director back on pg. 57

Yes, the director told me 12-13.

A letter of intent is basically a formal thank you note :)

I am 25-and was also intimidated by people in my group being much older/years of career experience; but I think they look at many factors when accepting applicants. Everyone in my group was also so nice & I wish we all could be accepted. I also hope we all hear soon.

I don't know if anyone knows how we are getting notified. Is it safe to say via e-mail?

Don't know for sure, but I would guess email and then official letter?

I think email and then an official letter. Based on my interviewer their final decisions are due to the admissions committee today and we're looking at ~1week turn around. Good luck everybody!

Thank you:)

I am wondering how the phone interviews went ..

I think I'm going to have a heart attack any time I receive a new email from now until they notify us!!
