Do any of you know if they will accept courses such as intro to neuroscience, ethics or social science courses falling into economics topics for these requirements?
I'm a Permanent Resident of the United States with a Green Card. Anyone happen to know where to send a copy of this to? I tried calling admissions, but they haven't yet picked up / called back.

I might not be right, but I sent it to this address. This information can be found in the instructions section of UIC secondary application

Hi everyone! I seem to have only gotten an email with a "check status" log in but no secondary For those of you that received secondaries: when were you verified? are your apps complete (ie. including MCAT scores, LOR's etc)?
I don't think they'll take neuroscience. But for me they took intro psych, and both econs. If you get your secondary there's a part of it where you fill out a chart that has those classes and it actually gives you options of classes you have taken that fulfill the requirements so you can see if you have all you need there.
hey guys looked through the thread but didn't seem to be answered.
I am getting different sides of the OOS friendliness of this school. I"m a mass res, (3.7, 33). What's UIC's OOS friendliness like? (I know I know, check msar but I've gotten much more insightful opinions from these threads than the raw numbers can give)
Also, my dad went to medical school here back in the day. Most secondaries ask if a family member has attended their school, does this help in any significant way?
As a reapplicant, I was wondering if it would be a good or bad idea to talk about the stress of being rejected the first time around for secondary question #1 and how I positively responded to it (Describe a situation in which you were really stressed. Tell us how you dealt with it. Please detail your reaction(s), and how it affected you. If this situation, or a similar one, were to happen again, how would you handle it? (Do not exceed 250 words)). Any thoughts?
Okay that is a very good point. I wasn't going to mention just the rejection but more so that as one aspect of the stressful situation. Since you heard that from an ADCOM member I'll definitely be taking that into consideration. Thanks.
It's not graduate-level biology. It's just a biology course above the level of general biology. Genetics, molecular biology, cellular biology, physiology, etc would all be fine.

In the U of I system, 200 levels are undergraduate courses. When they say they are looking for an advanced class, they mean a class above the general bio, like a genetics class or cell biology class, etc

Anyone else's formatting get totally bugged out upon submitting? I copied and pasted from a non-word text editor and it still made my apostrophes into strange symbols and completely ignored any paragraph breaks...
Why is every school having such trouble with the concept of accepting copied and pasted information? Seriously frustrating.
For the stress essay, how is everyone answering ALL of the questions in 250 words? Are you focusing more on describing the situation? how you dealt with it? Lessons learned? if it happened again? I am talking about changing majors and schools but I only have space to describe the situation and how I dealt with it. Are people trying to answer all five or so questions or just trying to write a good essay?
Submitted 7/25, status still says waiting letter review by them. Anyone else have any real status changes?
Also, does anyone know if any upper division biology course would work for the "advanced level biology?" On the website, it requires a 200 level course. However, at my school, 200+ is only for graduate students.
Yes.
Does anyone know how we would fill out the courses if you attended a quarter system university? They only give 2 spots for Gen chem, etc.
mine is still stuck as well. it says
"Recommendation(s): 6 received from AMCAS, expecting a total of 6, awaiting Admissions Officer letter review"
Should I call them to check in?
I'm stuck at the same status. How long has this taken for most people?
