UIC GPPA - Entering Fall 2019

Hello, Is it mandatory to take Honors college interview before you are invited for GPPA ? We were invited for honors college and we did not take it yet., Our GPPA(dental) is "In Review "status…

@Sajju786, By any chance you know if there were any dental GPPA interviewees today ?

@lightshock23 …I am not sure if there were any dental GPPA interviews, I guess all were GPPA Med Program in UIC School of Medicine…

@lightshock23 …I know for GPPA Med, yes you have to go for Honors interview day and get Honors admittance before you will be invited for GPPA Med interview…I guess it could be same for GPPA Dental…you should call GPPA Honors Program and inquire regarding your application…
Best of Luck…

@sajju786 Thanks for detailed Info.

@sajju786 Thanks for detailed Info.

@lightshock23 - As I stated previously no bearing whether one does Honors College interview before or after GPPA Medicine interview. Most will get Honors College Interview. But GPPA Medicine only select few will be invited! Unfortunately they don’t send notices for non-invitation of GPPA Medicine interview. This year they are doing it way different than previously. So, I might be wrong but I am sure already all invitations might have gone out (not to be negative for you). Since if they are interviewing 24 candidates every day and only about to 150 to 160 are called, I think chances are that all interview invitations might have gone out already. Good luck and hopefully my guess is wrong here.

@lightshock23 GPPA dental interviews were in December.

@WGSK88 , @frokenclarp - Thanks for the INsight. That is what we have thought too.

@WGSK88 and @lightshock23 …you do have to take the UIC Honors interview before or after UIC GPPA interview though…you cannot just take UIC GPPA and not UIC Honors interview ( can be taken before or after GPPA interview)…

But if you take UIC Honors interview before UIC GPPA, you possible would have more chances of getting a GPPA interview…

@sajju786 – maybe not fair for me to ask you so many questions. As @WGSK88 said, I am guessing the same, they might have finished extending the interviews to candidates. Did they mention anything about that when you were there ? Whether they will be still sending invites out until any certain date limit ?

@jani1118…I did not ask if they will be sending out more invites and they did not mention anything during interview.
Best bet would be to call GPPA or email them for any update on interview send outs

@jani1118 - yes as sajju786 said they didn’t mention anything on the interview day but as per earlier inquiry they said they would send out the interview invitation between Jan 15th - Feb 15th. On interview day they mentioned that they will be rescheduling Jan 30th and 31st dates since they cancelled those due to weather.

@saib2019 Thanks.

does anyone remember their honors college interview questions?

@crackalackin9 Basically they ask you to talk about yourself, your high school experience and what you want in your college experience and in the future.

Are there anymore GPPA interviews going on or are they done interviewing students?

If you applied for Med or Dental, they are done sending out invitations at this point. Not sure about other programs.

Is UIC still sending out interview invites ? What is the last day for interviews ? For the candidates interviewed, will the decisions be made before March 15th ?

For GPPA Medicine

Has anyone who applied RD got a decisions yet?
