Chicago Match List: http://www.uic.edu/depts/mcam/osa/careers/index.html
On that page look on the left side towards the bottom and you see another link to "UIC Match Results"
Dear 2009 UIC College of Medicine Applicant,
The Committee on Admissions of the UIC College of Medicine reviewed your
application earlier for the month of November. We wish to advise you that
no final decision has been reached on your application, but that you are
still under consideration.
hmm i just got this in the email, they didnt send me one after they passed on me during the oct decision. guess there is next month.
curious, anyone got accepted that wasnt accepted in oct?
I got the same too. Is this waitlist? Does this waitlist ever move?
wapwap said:So does this email mean I'm officially on the waitlist? Why wouldn't they just say that?
Or are they going to reevaluate me next adcom meeting?
I don't mind the rejection. It's just multiple rejections suck
Does anyone know how long a big white letter will take to arrive? Is it really 2 weeks?
Heston,
I was accepted last month and picked the Rockford track. Less than an hour from my hometown (west of Rockford) and a smaller city feel (I'm from a town of 800), definitely the place for me to be vs. Chicago. What's pointing you towards Rockford?
because you aren't competing with residents, the rotations @ Rockford can be much more immersive from what I hear.I don't know. i just like the small town-ness to it, the foliage, and how laid back it was. I was talking to my dad tonight and he said he would pick Chicago just because their rotations are just so much superior because they are teaching hospitals.
I seriously don't know. I'm not a big city person, but I guess I could be

Yea, I think that ultimately at Rockford you get to literally "do" more stuff, and at Chicago you get to "see" more stuff... I don't know Heston, you could live in a Suburb and commute to UIC (thats what my wife plan on doing since we aren't huge big city people.) Might be worth putting up with the big city so that your transcript will say University of Illinois Chicago, name seems to carry a little further in case you ever move outside of Illinois, plus the match list from Chicago looks better.
Also I'd really like to see a large variety of cases during medical school cause I'll have the chance to learn to "do" some of those things that I would do at Rockford during residency. Also, if you aren't sure pick CHICAGO. Later on if you want to change it will be easier to switch from Chicago to Rockford then the other way around.
Congrats again guys, it is really late here so I am off. What a day, yesterday I went to bed unsure of my family's future, and tonight I go to bed knowing I'll become a doctor 🙂 Unreal... 👍
It's a new day. Anyone get an envelope in the mail or a new email?
..not yet. Expecting something today or monday. I hope it's today so I can go out and officially celebrate with friends
I know, right? I told my parents only, but I gave them a caveat - it's not 100% official yet, but I told them all the reasoning and the process of elimination that is an accept. Yeah, so I can't wait to get that letter so that I can OFFICIALLY celebrate with everyone.
I'm a bit older than most of the applicants here, but I also told my parents. They refused to believe me until the letter arrived. Superstition, I guess.
Yea, I am a bit older, but after I tell people the run down ie Final decision, only CBC for accepted etc they celebrate with me 🙂 That being said, I am excited to get the official letter!
Are we going to have an old fogie competition?
I hope not. How about a who-gets-their-letter-first competition?
have you guys gotten the actual CBC email yet? I only got the first one from AMCAS saying another one is forthcoming
You guys....I'm gonna be a doctor!!!! I'm actually crying right now. I'm so excited!!!
