It's different from the sup app site and should have been sent to you under a separate email.
Hmm I never received this email. But it says applicant in process. Should I be worried? Thanks
Applicant in process seems to mean "your file is under review" as opposed to application in process which seems to mean "we have your file".
This is my first time too, but this is what I discern from the threads.
Application in Process for a month. This is normal, right? *it's only October...it's only October...*![]()
I'm in same situation as you are, so hopefully its normal!! And its still october!
I guess we should be expecting to hear back within the next week or so regarding acceptances, etc? Hoping to hear good news from this school! 🙂
Hello,
I have never lived in Chicago, and I've been very curious about the neighborhood of UIC and seem to only find conflicting information about it. Some people insist it's dangerous, others say it's fun and awesome.
Can somebody who has had personal experiences there give us a comprehensive account of what kind of area it is? Safety is a big issue for me (and my family), so I would really appreciate some information. Also, does the school provide safety mechanisms like having transportation for students at night?
Haha you too! 🙂Same here! good luck man! 🙂
I just got an email from Urbana telling me to consider the Medical Scholars Program because of my "fine performance on the MCAT." I only got a 31....

So, worked up the courage to call UIC and ask for an estimate of when decisions would be sent out. The guy on the phone was very nice (especially great given the high volume of neurotic applicants he probably talks to) and told me I shouldn't expect to hear back until late October/early November. I interviewed in early September, FWIW. Good luck to Kaushik, Asyouwereatrio, and everyone else here! 👍

Yes, you call them up to schedule the interview. As far as I know, they accept phone calls on all weekdays.Hi guys!
I just checked my status and the interview slots page popped out! Sooooo excited! Now since I can't pick a date on the webpage. I assume I will have to call them tomorrow during business hours. Do they accept interview scheduling phone calls on all weekdays?
Thanks!
Hi everyone! I decided to post this time line (posted on past years' threads) that was of great service to me this past cycle. I hope that it finds you well. 🙂
START
I. Submit Primary.
II. Wait for the email from UIC giving you your login information for the Applicant Status Check site (usually arrives within 2 weeks of submitting your primary): https://mercury.comd.uic.edu/appstat
III. Login, and check your status in the second page.
---
A. "Application Not Complete" = Secondary not yet complete.
B. "Application in Process" = You are complete. --> Goto C.
C. "Applicant in Process" = Your file is being reviewed, 3 Possible Status Changes:1. "Select Interview Date" = You are good enough for an interview. --> Goto D.D. "Select Interview Date" (A grid of dates shows up) = Call and schedule an interview date, after which "Interview Scheduled on ... " shows up. After the interview, Goto F.
2. "Application in Process" = You are not good enough to grant an interview yet, but might be later on in the cycle. Check back periodically. --> Go back to B.
3. "Final Decision Made ..." = You are not good enough. --> Goto X.
F. "Decision Pending" = File pending review at the next adcom meeting (every 3rd Thursday of the month). There are 2 options from here, depending on the month:1. Before May. --> Goto M.M. Before May, 2 Possible Status Changes:
2. On or After May. --> Goto N.1. "Final Decision Made ... " --> Goto S.N. On or After May, 2 Possible Status Changes:
2. "Decision Pending" (No Status Change) + "We'll keep reviewing you" Email (a few days later) = You are a good candidate, but not good enough to grant an acceptance yet. UIC will keep reviewing you at every adcom meeting. --> Go back to F.1. "Final Decision Made ... " You are (very likely) rejected. --> Goto X.S. There are 2 additional conditions from here:
2. "Applicant is Waitlisted" = Waitlisted. --> Goto Y.1. There is an "Additional Correspondences" Tab in the upper-right corner on your status page AND you get a CBC Email (a few days later) = You are (very likely) accepted. --> Goto Z.X. "Final Decision Made ..." = Rejection 🙁 ... Wait for a "Thin Letter" via snail-mail.
2. There is no "Additional Correspondences" Tab and/or you don't get the CBC Email = Rejection. [Note: This is tricky. The CBC email usually comes a few days after (1-4 is the consensus) the status change. Be patient. Sometimes, the email never comes, which might be because you already had a CBC done due to an acceptance at another school. In some instances, the CBC Email even comes after the snail-mail. If after a week, neither the tab nor the CBC email shows up, it's very likely a rejection. You've probably already received snail-mail by now alerting you to it.] --> Goto X.
Y. "Applicant is Waitlisted" = Waitlisted.... The CBC Email no longer acts as an indicator of an acceptance. If you get accepted off of the waitlist, then Goto Z, else Goto X.
Z. "Final Decision Made ..." + "Additional Correspondences" Tab + CBC Email = (very likely) Acceptance 😀 ... Wait for a "Fat Packet" via snail-mail. [Note: Sometimes CBC emails come after the packet. CBC emails also might never arrive if you got an acceptance to another school that also does CBC through AMCAS.]
FINISH

*** PLEASE BEAR IN MIND that this info came from last year's thread! Therefore, the whole process may have changed since then, and there is no guarantee to this information. But it worked for me (even though I was given the same warning) and the time line was accurate.
Good look to all of you class of 2015 applicants!! 😀
according to this thing, we're fine for now with decision pending...![]()
Thank you, Kaushik! I will call first thing in the morning! UIC is my number 1 choice! I hope they accept me! 😀
Congrats! Were you "applicant in process" before the invite? I am still application in process since 8/24.
so I looked at last year's thread and it looks like the adcom did meet on the third thursday of October (which would be today) and that day or the next if people's status changed to "a final decision has been made" they received an acceptance packet in the mail about a week later...
Hi guys!

Thanks!
2009-2010 cycle the first person to post a "A final decision has been made" was around 1pm on the 3rd Thursday of October.
2008-2009 cycle the first person to post a "A final decision has been made" was around 5pm on the 4th Thursday of October.
Hopefully it will be soon, because my heart skips a beat every time this thread is bumped. 👍
So did anyone's status change? Mine is still Decision Pending. Guess I have not been accepted
Mine has not--still decision pending. Wouldn't think it means anything til November.

Lol, I forgot that I interviewed on 10/14.
Um...I can't tell if you're serious or not...
Just in case you're actually serious...relax! We don't even know if the adcoms met or not. For all we know, they're not going to meet till next week.
Asyouwereatrio and myself interviewed on Oct. 4th and were told not to expect to hear back until the end of October/early November. So relax and be patient for a little while longer (believe me, I know that's hard to do right now when it seems like every other applicant on SDN is getting acceptances).
Good luck to all of us!![]()
Hey folks,
I interviewed on Oct 4 as well. I have several friends at UIC med school and from what they tell me, the ADCOM meets on the third Thursday of each month...year after year. Yesterday was the 3rd Thursday.
Secondly, (again off of my friends' info), your status is rarely changed on the day the committee meets. At the earliest, it changes to "a final decision has been made" either the Friday or Saturday after the meeting.
If your status still has not changed, you usually get an e-mail saying your application is on hold until the next month's meeting (NOT A WAITLIST).
Hope this helps and good luck!
So many Oct. 4ers in this thread. I also interviewed on Oct. 4, and I have sworn to myself to stay away from the status page until one of you fine people posts a change. I'm too obsessive with the status checks
