Good luck today guys...here's to hoping they meet and there are lots of status changes! 

i have decision made as well
theres an additional correspondance column--but i cant remmeber whether it has always been there or not. its also not clickable (like a tab would be im guessing).
im guessing rejection or WL? what do you guys think.
most likely acceptance
awesome. but its not a "tab", its just some extra column, and theres nothing written under it or anything. is that what you had before you were accepted?
thanks
My status changed as well! Hoping this is a good thing... maybe a really awesome Christmas present! So how long did it take after the status change to get the letter/packet in the mail?
Eek..."a decision has been made..." pre-interview.
Good luck to everyone who's still in the application cycle!
When did you go to Applicant? Or, I guess if there's no difference between application and applicant, when were you complete? I've been applicant for about 8 weeks now. Getting a little ridiculous!
I'm not sure when I went to Applicant actually. Probably sometime in October. I submitted my application 8/12/09...pretty early in the cycle. I went from Applicant to Application probably a week or two weeks ago.
And now I've been rejected. 🙂
Good luck!
Rejected today. Somewhat in shock. I'm in-state, 3.4/31, volunteering, clinical exp., leadership, etc. Complete mid-August.
What more do they possibly want? This was my top choice, and I'm really sad about it.
I hear ya. I interviewed sept 14th and the only communication I've had with UIC was the one email that told me that haven't made a decision yet and they will continue to review me every month. Well it has been 3 months and no word, not a peep. I'm thinking about sending an update/interest letter but who knows how much that will help. So just wanted to let you know there are a lot of people out there in the same boat as you. Interviewing at MCW Jan 8th so hopefully that's a winner and won't have to worry about UIC. Hopefully we hear something from UIC before May, but that even seems to be a stretch.ok . . am still decision pending. nearly two months post-interview.
edited . . . i can only guess that this means i am in the 'we will continue to review you' pile, sans the email telling me that i am. i just thought it was weird because i remember someone else saying a couple months ago that they had gotten that email.
well congrats to the rest of you! i swear at this point if my status ever changes i might die of shock, its been the same so long
For those of you planning to matriculate to UIC, perhaps think about starting a UIC class of 2014 thread in the allo forum under class threads.
I'm an MS1 at the Urbana campus (Rockford track, RMED program) and will gladly pop into that thread and answer questions you have. There are a few other reliable posters that are MS1s and MS2s at the Chicago campus that can answer questions as well.
I don't want to get too into a Q/A session in this thread - this is for you applicants. Just wanted to put a bug in your ear about the Allo class thread 😀
Congrats to those accepted. To those rejected/waitlisted, don't lose faith. Most of us go through those ups and downs, and the admissions process really makes no sense sometimes.
I called the admissions office 4 times at various times during business hours today to schedule an interview, and no one answered the phone. Anyone else having similar difficulty scheduling an interview? Is UIC still on holiday break?

Hello All, I am posting on behalf of a friend because she doesnt believe in this whole SDN haha....anyway she is an OOS applicant to UIC and she has sent all her secondaries in like months ago but still has not for UIC because its due date is not till JAN 15th ( and she has limited money). Since she has waited this long is it still worth her paying the $85 dollars or whatever or is it too late to apply because it seems a lot of the spots have been taken.......Cause it seems late to me. THanks
today i finally got the email saying that they have not made any decision yet, and will continue to review me every month. (i interviewed in Oct.) anyone else get it too?
You've been accepted somewhere (I think?), so you're obviously doctor material. That's all that matters.
Congratulations to all who have been accepted 🙂!
I got an email today too telling me that I am still awaiting a decision. I am looking at the glass as half-full here 🙂
I interviewed in early November and am and OOS student. However, this is my top choice and I will be truly blessed if I get an acceptance.
Sorry for this probably very ignorant question, but what is Snail-Mail?--is it just through the postal system?
Well best of luck to all those who are still awaiting an answer!
I was accepted a month ago or so, and I found out today that I'm placed to my first choice: Urbana/Peoria. Very happy. 😀
I'm waiting for my site placement.... how did they notify you? E-mail, snail mail, status page...?
Thanks!

So my site placement came in the mail today, and I was placed in my second choice. I really needed my first choice because of some family circumstances (and no not just money) so this changes everything.
How do I go about basically telling them I can't really go here unless I get placed in my first choice???
Ughhhh I am so frustrated! This was my first choice school, and I was so ready to take the acceptance and withdraw from everywhere else, but I can't anymore!
Im assuming you didnt get chicago? if thats true..i guess i have ZERO chance of getting chicago campus...and i'll be in the same situation as you. financial reasons and family reasons....damnit.
I don't know.... it may not just be first come, first serve. I mean, I drove half an hour to get to a post office that was still open the Saturday I received my acceptance just so I could turn in the site placement card ASAP. If the first year wasn't in U-C it wouldn't be AS big of a deal because I was placed in Rockford. Oh well. Guess I'm practically back at square one. Maybe I can defer or something. It sucks because in like 2 years it probably won't matter where I am location-wise. Hopefully my situation will change by then. Just now it matters, of course.
so...you didnt get chicago and you wanted it correct..? And unfortunately for us i think it is first come first serve.
DarwinA, I really think you may have a decent shot at getting the Chicago site if some Chicago-placed people decide not to matriculate (which is likely). I would call them and discuss your options. I think that you and I turned in our site placement form around the same time during this first-come first-served process (a little before Christmas?) and I did get a Chicago placement. This is speculative, of course, but there could be just a few people separating you from the Chicago placement. If this is the case, you're probably at the top of the waitlist for the Chicago placement and may have a decent shot at getting re-placed if you express your desire and are willing to deal with some uncertainty until May 15 or so.
I got the same email. Interviewed in early December.
Just to give a timeline for me (late applicant). Submitted secondary in early November and interview invite 3 weeks later.
I don't know the odds of receiving an acceptance offer after being placed on hold but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Congrats to all those with acceptances!
