<p>Finally, someone started a thread for UIC. Thanks! I was wondering if you need SAT II’s for GPPA?</p>

22

<p>wait, u have to be a resident of Illinois to apply?..that sucks…</p>

23

<p>Yes, you have to be an IL resident to be considered for the GPPA program.</p>

<p>And there’s already a UIC GPPA thread: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=85206[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=85206&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

24

<p>okay so THIS is the GPPA thread!
anyhoo, for the ppl that were accepted- congrats!
do u have any tips on interviewing… etc?
oh, and if you get into the program, do you have to take the MCATs?
I know ppl who chose not to but I dunno</p>

25

<p>Do you need SAT II’s to get into the GPPA program? Again if you don’t mind could you tell your stats cooldude?</p>

26

<p>How many people apply for GPPA each year?</p>

<p>Also if you send an application in for GPPA, and you don’t make it, can you still apply to UIC? </p>

<p>Will they tell you if you got accepted into UIC if you didn’t get into GPPA? </p>

<p>Do you only need to send one application or two seperate ones?</p>

<p>What sort of stats will look really good…ACT/SAT score, GPA, AP’s, ec’s…?</p>

27

<p>How respected is UIC GPPA? That’s basically all UIC is known for, right?</p>

<p>your research stuff looks good. what did you do? I really want to do some research, any advice?</p>

30

<p>hey do we need 3 TEACHER recs or can they be say 2 teacher recs and a counselor rec… and a suppplmentary head volunteer from a hospital rec?</p>

31

<p>i’m thinking it doesnt matter cause there’s an area to mark “other”. i personally did all teachers</p>

32

<p>could those who were accepted post their stats?</p>

33

<p>how hard is it to get in? do they consider more about ur EC’s or your academics?</p>

34

<p>I heard academics, but research is also a plus</p>

35

<p>I understand the requirements are a 28 and top 15 percent of class, but what does it REALLy take to get in?</p>

36

<p>When do we find out about interviews??</p>

37

<p>are honors college interviews the same as the gppa interviews?? i wish sumone knew! this is driving me crazy…</p>

38

<p>A1987, all of the posts were lost, so…</p>

<p>YES, Honors College interviews are GPPA interviews, and letters have already been sent out for these interviews.</p>

39

<p>Thankz M17… but im still a little confused… I dont have great stats and i didnt think i would get an interview for gppa… but my honors college interview is for gppa?? i actually have a chance?? did your letter include that this was for gppa too?? if you have any more info, please let me know… THANK YOU SO MUCH!</p>

<p>from what i’ve read in this thread, the gppa interviews are given around march. i also got a honors college interview, but does that mean i’m pretty much in gppa?</p>
