I interviewed in Chicago in mid-November and am still "Decision Pending." IS, LizzyM=73
Assuming "additional correspondence" means accepted ... 35, 3.87 IS..... yes research ..... and yes published but not first author (yet). Illinois (UIUC) alum.
Can those who got accepted list their MCAT and GPA? OOS or IS? Research and whether you were published and your other ECs
Thanks
Yeah I applied to some top ranked schools.did you apply to any ivy leagues ?
So I've been "Decision Pending" since my interview in October... I assume this is bad news, but do they hold off on waitlist and/or rejections post interview until a certain date?
See post #761!Who is willing to ask them whether they are waiting until January to mail out decisions?
See post #761!Does anyone know if they are planning on sending out the letters before Christmas or if they are waiting until January to send them out?
I was also wondering the same thing -- I haven't received anything yet after getting my site assignment (Chicago). I'm also not sure about a FB group yet or any info (if there has been any given out) about campus visits in the spring, etc.Does anyone know if there's an accepted group for the incoming class yet? Also, does anyone know if they'll be sending us a packet with whatever else we have to do as accepted students?... or does that not come until later in the spring?
Earlier in the thread there were a few people (not many) that said they had been rejected.
they dont do silent rejections. i was rejected OOS about 2 weeks ago. but it was via snail mail. no email or status change notice. I havent checked my online portal since then to see if it changed the same weeK I received the letter
Go way back in the thread. If you are rejected, the portal will say something like "Final Decision Made" and then you get the snail mail rejection. Unless @miszfifi820 had a different experience.
I called them today. They said people who got the final decision made on 12/18 status won't receive their letters until the new year.If anyone receives any acceptance mail, post on here ASAP.![]()
I asked this question as well. But no diceSo as far as anyone knows, getting the additional correspondences tab means an acceptance right? Sorry for the pre-med neuroticism 😛
Logistics question: if you get offered a scholarship that must be accepted/rejected ASAP (i.e. before everywhere else releases scholarship & financial aid packages) and you accept said scholarship, are you then committed 100% or can you still turn them down before April 30 without having bad blood???
I'm concerned because I've only seen one person who interviewed in December have a status change, is that correct? Unless there are SDNers who had a status change and just haven't posted. I interviewed on 12/12 in Urbana, and I'm still Decision Pending. Wondering if anyone else who interviewed that week are also Decision Pending or if I'm just not good enough for this month's acceptance...

You might still be okay. When I applied last year, I interviewed in November and had 'Decision Pending' until March when the called me in for a second interview. There may be hope.
it usually does but there is at least one case where it didn't mean acceptance. statistics on your side though; i would say cautiously hopeful if you have additional correspondenceI asked this question as well. But no dice![]()
They don't ask anything about arrests or things in your supplementalCould anyone let me know if they have the precise wording of one of the questions from the supplemental application? I would like to see if there was any reference or specific mention of traffic violations? I would greatly appreciate it!
If it's still decision pending, then they haven't made a decision on you yet. It will change to final decision made once they have made a decision on you either way. Hope this helps! 🙂I interviewed in Chicago on 11.16 and I still have Decision Pending... If I was accepted would it have changed to additional correspondence? Does anyone have any insight to this?
Thanks
okay cool... thanks for the help!If it's still decision pending, then they haven't made a decision on you yet. It will change to final decision made once they have made a decision on you either way. Hope this helps! 🙂
I interviewed the same week so you in Chicago and I am still pending too. So you are not alone! I have a feeling it wouldn't change until the end of January.I interviewed in Chicago on 11.16 and I still have Decision Pending...

+1, same week. Feels like I've been waiting forever!I interviewed the same week so you in Chicago and I am still pending too. So you are not alone! I have a feeling it wouldn't change until the end of January.
For people who interviewed, what were your general impressions of the students at UIC, the facilities, etc?
I called them today. They said people who got the final decision made on 12/18 status won't receive their letters until the new year.
They said there's no one working this week, so they'll probably send them out next Monday or Tuesday I'm guessingdid they say when in the new year? technically jan 1st is 2 weeks after the 12/18 date and they said to wait 1-2 weeks for the mailing.
If we're lucky.They said there's no one working this week, so they'll probably send them out next Monday or Tuesday I'm guessing
I interviewed in late November, and I got the "Decision Made" on my status page two weeks ago, but the words "additional correspondence" only appeared in a text box at the top right corner (and not as a tab) with a tiny empty box next to it. Is this what my status page is supposed to show up as if I'm likely accepted? Thanks!
Who volunteers to be the human sacrifice it is going to take to have them send out letters by the first half of this week?
Woo!! I live in Chicago so maybe I'll get mine tomorrow.i volunteered as tribute. called and was informed that letters were mailed today.
You'll find out soon enough.Do you guys think only the people who saw status changes would receive a letter in the mail? Is it possible that the status hasn't been changed online but that a decision has been made?
It definitely seems like there are lots of people who haven't gotten a status change who were expecting one after the Dec meeting. By my count, there have only been about 5 people on here who saw a change, and that's wayyyy less than the number of people I counted that had interviewed after mid-November.
