UIC Graduate Entry Program

@sarasays Yes! I am going to enroll 100%!

Someone should definitely create a Facebook group! How do we do that?

Congrats to all that got in :)

Congrats @katherinewerner and everyone wait listed!! That's better than nothing!! I was not accepted so I will be going to DePaul!! @jmonkeyjen I hope you get off the wait list for UIC but if not, see you in the fall!!

For the DePaul program, do you pick a specialty also or is it a general master's program? If you get a general master's, how do you specialize later? How long is the DePaul program?

@elaurance See you at DePaul in the fall!! DePaul is a 2 year masters generalist program where you do not specialize-but graduate with MSN. Additionally, several of the graduate classes you take during DePaul's MENP program transfer over to other Masters/DNP specialized programs at DePaul. Supposedly, one can become a FNP within a year at DePaul after graduating from DePaul's MENP==as long as they work while attending DePaul's FNP master's certificate program. However, many students choose to work full time after graduating with MSN; and enrolling part time in DePaul's DNP program or NP graduate certificate program. I think UIC is actually changing their GEP program next year to be a generalist Masters Program like DePaul and Rush University (and several other universities). DePaul was first university to offer Generalist Masters Program in nursing. http://csh.depaul.edu/academics/graduate/nursing/Documents/GeneralNursingMENP6-1-11.pdf

Thank you for the info. Do they do interviews at DePaul?

@Tuckella DePaul does not do interviews, which is kind of nice! I was accepted pretty quickly after sending in my application, but maybe part of that is because it's my alma mater.

Good to know. I only applied to UIC, and now that I didn't get it, I would have to take even more pre-reqs in order to apply to other schools, but it looks like with DePaul I wouldn't. Have you talked to any students or heard about how the program is?

you guys all got notified by email?.... i didn't get any emails from UIC yet

Yes, we were notified by email. Check your spam?

nothing. thanks. I'll just wait...................and...........................wait.............

The person who sent out the email was the same as the person who notified us about interviews, at least for ACNP, if that helps! The "from" line should say her name, not UIC or anything. I hope you hear soon :)
