2. Admission to the Honors College Heading link

If your program requires membership in the Honors College, your application will be reviewed for admission to the Honors College.

The Honors College releases decisions once a month, on or about the 15th of the month.

After you have been admitted to your undergraduate program, your application is forwarded directly to the program to which you applied for review.

For most programs:

  • The selection committee will review your application and make recommendations based solely on your application.
  • Decisions will be released no later than March 1st of each year.

For the GPPA Medical Scholars Program

  • The application review is the first step. Every completed application is reviewed.
  • Based on the strength of your application, a limited number of applicants will be selected to attend an interview with the College of Medicine.
  • Interviews will be conducted in January.
  • Students who are not selected for an interview will be notified by February 1.
  • The CASPer test is NOT REQUIRED for admission to the GPPA Medical Scholars Program. If you are selected for the GPPA Medical Scholars Program, you may be asked to take the CASPer prior to matriculation at UIC.
  • Applicants who are selected for the GPPA Medical Scholars Program will be notified on March 1st of each year.

After Your GPPA Decision Heading link

Congratulations!

  • Requirements for each GPPA program are outline in the Conditions of Acceptance. You will want to review these upon admission:
    • General GPPA Conditions of Acceptance
    • Program -specific Conditions of Acceptance
  • File your Intent to Enroll (ITE) by May 1, 2025 to accept your seat at UIC.
    • There is not a specific ITE for GPPA. You only need to submit your UIC Intent to Enroll

GPPA is only ONE pathway to graduate or professional school.  There are limited seats reserved in each program for GPPA students, so some programs can be highly competitive.  Each program selects students that are a good fit RIGHT NOW.  You still have several years of your undergraduate program to gain knowledge and build on your experiences to prepare you for the next step in your journey to graduate or professional school!

We are still committed to help you to achieve your professional goals! You can still attend UIC for your undergraduate degree, and participate in the Honors College if you have been admitted.

After you have completed your undergraduate program and any prerequisites for your professional program, you can apply through the traditional application process!
