I'm assuming that my decision pending at this point means I'm definitely on hold for the foreseeable future. Anyone have any idea when the next meeting is?

The day is not over yet, so there's still a chance for an update. But from what i've heard they meet every third Thursday of the month (21st of next month).
 
Starting to wonder if they didn't get to the Chicago interview group at the most recent meeting (or maybe that's just wishful thinking...)
 
Anyv in tell from the group with Interviewed on the 24th (or days prior)? Interview Feedback on feel in' the love.

Pleaseeeeee?!

It's just a text box. I think that's how it's supposed to be based on some of the previous discussion about the additional correspondence tab.

I'm still confused on the "additional correspondence" tab. It's just a text box, not clickable, right? Does that mean that we got in? It just means that they sent additional correspondence right, that has an equal chance of being a rejection or an acceptance?

Exactly... It is not clickable. We have wait and see what they decided in the mail. Fat packet =acceptance.skinny= rejection
 
Does anyone know whether the Chicago campus is officially full?
 
Also, could someone tell me how the preference card system works? Thanks

I'm still "Applicant in Process"! I'm definitely starting to lose hope at this point since they won't meet again until the end of March.

Oh wow yeah end of March is pretty late. Maybe they put us in the "we will look at them later" pile?
 
Don't lose hope! A non-traditional applicant friend of mine wasn't accepted to U of I and U of Minnesota until April and May, respectively, last year. Once people start declining acceptances en masse, the doors open.
 
I believe those on the UMed track are placed in Chicago, anyone know if there is there a campus affiliation for the Global Med students?

Would you say that there is a correlation between being a nontraditional applicant and late acceptances? I'm applying next cycle.

Got a college of medicine scholarship offer last week but still no word on placement. Sent in my site preference card in January.

I would not say that no. I know many non-trads that were among the first to get interviews and the first to be accepted.
 
Hello everyone, I was reading threads from past years and a couple people who had the "additional correspondence" tab received an invitation to apply to their post-bac. It might have been two people total, but I would like to know if anyone has received this in the mail.
 
Have people gone ahead and signed up for the certified background account where you have to submit your immunizations yet ? Is there a cost and how much ?

Well there is an immunization form available online on the school site which lists all the vaccinations you need before starting school, but in the e mail regarding your site placement there was an attachment that stated we needed to sign up for a website to submit our immunization forms and how we need a credit card or there'll be a $10 fee for money orders.

Oh I see. I haven't received my site preference yet so I'll look forward to that!
 
Has anyone been rejected post-interview? When does the waitlist start?
 
How long did it take to get a package/letter once the additional correspondence tab was up?
 
Does anyone know when construction on the learning center will be finished?
 
Def not soon! They are in the middle of still demolishing the area, and a bit behind schedule at that. From how it looks and what they keep updating us with, I'd say late fall if not winter.

Yes, GMed is only available on the Chicago campus. Both UMed and GMed are great programs but fair warming--they're both pretty competitive so take your application seriously!
 
Did anyone receive multiple "no final decision has been reached" emails/ anyone who received this email in previous months get accepted?

Everyone receives it who doesn't have a decision made their first Adcom meeting and yes ppl get accepted if they receive that email
 
Any of the current students (or any one with information really) want to weigh in on the different campus choices?

Rockford has the highest step1 scores and a mcdonalds at every corner. peoria has the 2nd highest step1 scores and urbana has the lowest. chicago is nice. Also in terms of housing, you could get a house in rockford for like $700/month, and you can probably join a gang as well. Crime rate is off the charts! Also Rockford campus has no cafeteria, so yeah... and library closes at 9PM. I'm all about the food availability and library hours. Can't be eating mickey d's everyday.

I literally can't stop laughing. I really want chicago track, any news on if it's all filled up or not? (Also thinking about applying to U-Med Program if I get the fat packet sometime this week)

Did you already get accepted to the med school? Or did you just send it based on the "additional correspondence" tab?
