Hi!
I wanted to reach out and see if there was anyone on this thread who attended UIC in Chicago.
I was curious about their thoughts on the curriculum, how they handled it, and if they were able to find a job out of state after finishing school there for residency or retail.
The web page...

Out of these programs, what was your experience through the...
Hi I am trying to decide between these 2 schools! I love the city of the Chicago, the diversity of the city, but Regis program is 35 k cheaper and an equally good program. please Help!!
Hi, I got accepted to UIC and Regis and I am trying to decide between the 2 schools. I really liked the diversity of UIC and Chicago and I know I will be able to connect with the people there. Chicago is also the 2nd highest employment for PTs which is also a plus because UIC has many...
Hi, I recently got accepted into both VCU and UIC and I am trying to decide between the two schools! I am really torn between the both schools because they both are really good schools. Being not from either state, the cost of both programs would be similar and I would love any input on the pros...
Hi all!
I am currently a senior finishing up my Health Science degree at Bradley.

I was wondering if anyone is currently a student in the...

We have a great house for rent (or purchase) in Oak Park IL -- close to Loyola, UIC, Rush, and other Chicago-based medical schools and universities. We'd like to get the word out to residents/interns who may be seeking a large family home close to public transportation, shopping, parks, and...
Hi everyone. I am wondering if any of you went to/are attending UIC or Rush for OT and could tell me about your experience. I got into both programs and have been debating between the two for nearly a month, and it is getting very hard to choose!!! I liked Rush because it has a smaller cohort...

I recently was accepted to Midwestern University in Downers Grove for pharmacy, Chicago State, and Roselyn Franklin. Unfortunately, I missed one prerequisite for UIC, so my application was withdrawn. My first choice is the best from the schools I got accepted, Midwestern. However, I do realize...
Hey Guys,
I've searched SDN for this question and haven't really found anything (so if you do please just link it here and I'll more than happily check it out there - assuming it is up to date).
So the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) has two campuses. One in Chicago and one in...
Hi yall
I'm on the fence kind of for both schools, VCU and UIC. I was accepted at VCU on Dec 1 but am waitlisted at UIC. I am OOS for both schools so the cost of attendance will be high regardless. I don't know much about Richmond area or either schools to be honest. I am trying to get off the...
Hi guys, I was lucky enough to get into both of these schools in the same time frame before having to commit to either one of them. I was curious as to general opinions about each school as well as some specific questions.
Some quick background on me, I am out of state for both schools and...

I've been accepted into uic, university of Colorado, university of Utah, and university of Washington so far. I'm from California so all of these places are new to me and offer cheaper tuition that most California schools. Problem is I can't decide where to go? Uic is the highest ranked but how...
Hi guys
So I was accepted to both of these schools so far and are both great schools imo.... But which one is the better? And I think the tuition amount is about the same? I'm from IL and after the first year the cost of UIC is the same with ASDOH. I'm just wondering what majority of you guys...
Hi everyone! So I'm between three schools at the moment: UIC, Northwestern, and Ohio University. I got a great feeling at both OU and NW, but a meh feeling at UIC, although I know all three programs would be great options. In choosing a program, is it bad to go with the better logistical fit? In...
Hey everyone,
I was recently wait-listed by UIC (my number 1 choice). I've been accepted to other great schools, so I most likely will put a down payment down for one of those schools. However, I still really want to go to UIC. Does anyone know somebody who's gotten off their wait-list? Or if...
Hi all,
I know it's a bit late to be submitting the UIC MSOT app, but I'm applying concurrently to the MSOT and OTD programs and had a question about the essays for MSOT.
MSOT prompt: "Why is the UIC OT program a good match for you and why are you a good match for UIC? Think about the kind of...
It's my number one school - will be applying for Summer/Fall 2018 entry. What was the class load like? What specific things do you like about UIC's program v others? Are students at UIC hyper-competitive or do they like to work together and help their peers? Thanks for any input! Any other...
