Can somebody call in and check to see what time interviews start in the afternoon session? And what time it's recommended that we actually be there.
They haven't released the dates yet, so there should be nothing yet.Is there a link to where I can check the status of the application? All I can see when I login is the supplemental application but it does not give a status. I am not sure what I am missing.
Is it true that the 21% tuition hike was rescinded? Great news, if true.
Do you have any idea what the new tuition will be?Yes, they did. Thank God.
I just checked my status, it appears my letters made it in! My application is now "in process" Although weirdly two of my letters have a submit date of 8/9, even though I submitted them far in advance via AMCAS.
Oh well.
How long does "in Process" normally take until you hear anything?
I have been "In Process" for over a month now.
Can someone help me out? I've been invited to an interview, but when I click "check supplemental application status", nothing happens.
Got an II just now! Submitted my secondary on 7/11.
Congrats! Did you get an email? and did your status change from "application in process" to something else before you got the II?
Hey Reek,
Would you mind sharing your stats for reference?
EDIT: Spelling...
I retook the MCAT in July, and on my status page it says under "most recent MCAT date: July 2012," but also under "next MCAT date; July 2012." Anyone else have something similar? I'm just worried they're still waiting for some test that will never happen.
EDIT: and I got my score back almost two weeks ago.
I have been "In Process" for over a month now.
does anyone have the address of the site where you check your status? I followed the directions when I called the office, but it seems like their instructions are off.
Just noticed that my status went from "application in process" to "applicant in process"
In looking in past threads, I came across this from HAL9000:
******************************************
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. [At the bottom of this post I link to a program I made that makes checking your status as easy as double clicking your mouse.]
---
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.
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.
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.
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.
2. On or After May. --> Goto N.
M. Before May, 2 Possible Status Changes:
1. "Final Decision Made ... " --> Goto S.
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.
N. On or After May, 2 Possible Status Changes:
1. "Final Decision Made ... " You are (very likely) rejected. --> Goto X.
2. "Applicant is Waitlisted" = Waitlisted. --> Goto Y.
S. There are 2 additional conditions from here:
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.
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.
X. "Final Decision Made ..." = Rejection ... Wait for a "Thin Letter" via snail-mail.
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

Are there any current UIC students on here who could comment on why they chose UIC/ compare with Rush and Loyola/ what the school is like? It seems like all of the other Chicago med schools are getting lots of love but UIC is getting left behind 🙁 This is one of my top choices being IS and since my dad went here, and I really want to start getting excited about it!!!
Anyone know how UIC handles grading? Is it pass/fail? True pass/fail?
Pretty quiet on the II front over at UIC....
Check your status pages...I think they were updated.
whoa i just did! there's a big grid now named "interview scheduling" and what looks like interview dates! Everything's blank right now though...does this mean I'm going to be offered an II? Or is this just something they do for everyone...
congrats, u canuck!! 👍

were you able to schedule your interview? I'm trying to call but nobody's picking up!
EDIT: oops. mis-typed the number..im so excited!
No luck getting anyone to pick up after a couple of tries, and I typed the right number. I'll try again in a couple of hours. Don't want them to think I'm stalking 😀
Interview Invite via email!
Looks like the only open slot is in Peoria... Does anyone know if location of interview affects where you get accepted?
EDIT: I'm an idiot and got overzealous in my reading my email... Location does not matter.... Its in bold...
Congrats! When were you completed??
