I want to explain the process from what I have now experienced and found on UIC grad portal, different reddit pages and forums online. As I have been a mess and checking every site online possible while anxiously waiting.
 

The overall UIC process appears to be a tiered process, you submit then go to department review then to admissions final review. Admissions seems to be responsible for giving the final green light!

 

Your account should start at submitted—> complete, under department review (CRNA faculty are reviewing your app here)—>additional review required (a decision from CRNA program was likely made and submitted to admissions)—> blank (if you check frequently enough, don't assume based on other forums saying a blank is a definite rejection. I did that this morning and freaked myself out. Essentially this means admission department is finally doing their final review and about to send you an answer)—>admission decision in portal 2-3pm chicago time—> email to follow later that evening!

 

I applied mid to late March. Best of luck to all. It is a hard process. Took 2 waitlist and rejection before this.

Also, I was told by someone that UIC looks at the last 60 credits but when I last searched the site, I didn't see that anywhere. Anyone know what GPA(s) UIC looks at? Thanks!

For the Supplemental application did you guys choose the "NURSING PRACTICE - NURSE ANESTHESIA - DNP" option or the generic "NURSING PRACTICE - DNP" for the intended program? I chose the Anesthesia specific one but the instructions are making it seem like to choose the generic?

I chose the Nurse Anesthesia option and got an email from the school initially about a clarification with my application, so it probably went where it was supposed to!
