Yeah you should definitely apply on the first day. You could do a SMP if your gpa is that bad.
I finished some of the activities I had started (with letters to prove it), participated in research symposiums, had a paper published (not first author), got a job doing clinical research, and got a 4.0 for my senior year. I also interviewed much better this time around.![]()
Hi EEB, Have you received the CBC email yet? i still haven't gotten it. Status change 1/22nooooo, I'm so sorry to hear that.
I was accepted in December, and it took about a month for me to receive the CBC email, so don't stress 🙂Hi EEB, Have you received the CBC email yet? i still haven't gotten it. Status change 1/22
So sorry about that. It's definitely UIC's loss. Good luck w/ other schoolsReceived rejection letter yesterday. Good luck everyone! Maybe I'll see you guys next year...
No, still not. No letter yet, either. I'm rushing home every day after work to check the mail haha, this is making me crazy. I'll let ya know.Hi EEB, Have you received the CBC email yet? i still haven't gotten it. Status change 1/22
No letter yet either... Do you live near chicago area?Good luck to ccrod with other schools!
No letter for me yet. Anyone with January status change, please post if you have received the letter!
I know! This waiting sucks, it's like as if the previous MCAT and application didn't suck already. Fingers crossed for us lol.No, still not. No letter yet, either. I'm rushing home every day after work to check the mail haha, this is making me crazy. I'll let ya know.
Thanks John, just out of curiosity, how long did it take for you to receive the letter after your status change? Did it really take two weeks? Also did you ever have a date next to the "addnl correspondence" tab?I was accepted in December, and it took about a month for me to receive the CBC email, so don't stress 🙂
Yes! Schaumburg! What the heck! I work an hour away, so the drive home is me holding my breath going 90 down the highway, just to arrive to an empty mail box, hahaNo letter yet either... Do you live near chicago area?
No problem, I was just as stressed as you a month ago 🙂 I never had a date next to the additional correspondences tab. The only date I had was "a final decision has been made on your application on x. Please wait up to two weeks for..." or something along those lines. Mine was a little weird since they made their decision on December 18th, but they didn't actually mail out the letters until like January 6th because of the holdiays, so I really don't know if it usually takes 2 weeks or not.Thanks John, just out of curiosity, how long did it take for you to receive the letter after your status change?

Sorry for the series of questions!!![]()
Dang, I almost couldn't take this wait any longer, the wait for your must have been horrible! Congratulations now that you are on the other side of the mountain now 😉No problem, I was just as stressed as you a month ago 🙂 I never had a date next to the additional correspondences tab.

Me too, Buffalo Grove.... C'mon snail~ crawl faster lol.....Yes! Schaumburg! What the heck! I work an hour away, so the drive home is me holding my breath going 90 down the highway, just to arrive to an empty mail box, haha
90 is a slight exaggeration, but yes. People have received the additional correspondence tab and received a rejection letter.I was under the impression that if it said please wait for "correspondence in mail" that you had been accepted. I think its fine to be nervous, but I don't think you need to barrel down the highway to check your mailbox when you already know you got in lol (at least I think).
I could be totally wrong, I haven't read through all the pages so maybe someone got a letter of rejection even though their portal said to wait for the additional correspondence?
Let me know when you get your mail!Me too, Buffalo Grove.... C'mon snail~ crawl faster lol.....
Do you know anyone with a addnl correspondence and rejection?? Lol sorry this is kinda nerve wreckingLet me know when you get your mail!

Hi I noticed that you are accepted, congrats! I also had a final status change last thursday; however, I haven't received the letter yet. I was wondering if you have already? Thanks!Additional correspondence! Interviewed 12/19.
Thanks! I have not received the letter yet. Hopefully we'll see them arrive this week.Hi I noticed that you are accepted, congrats! I also had a final status change last thursday; however, I haven't received the letter yet. I was wondering if you have already? Thanks!
I saw that info on MSAR.I think I might be going crazy! I remember someone saying that of the almost 900 applicants interviewed last year 600 were offered acceptances. A gentleman at my interview session said he read that in one of the informational materials provided, but I've scoured those materials and can't find that statistic. Has anyone else heard that? If so, where did you hear it? Could you point me to a link where to find this information if it's incorrect?

I just logged into MSAR, and it only says that 300 matriculated of the almost 9000 interviewed.
So sorry about that. It's definitely UIC's loss. Good luck w/ other schools
I highly doubt they interviewed 9000 applicants!
Also this snail mail decision process is super cruel 🙁
Re-read.I just logged into MSAR, and it only says that 300 matriculated of the almost 9000 interviewed.
I was under the impression that it was usually double acceptances/matriculants. maybe not for the top 10Haha, yeah... I meant 900 interviewed. Sorry bout that.
Anyway, I was just trying to say that the MSAR didn't say how many acceptances were actually offered, just the number interviewed and the number of matriculants. Some schools offer double the acceptances of the number of matriculants, and other schools who have a very high rate of students matriculating when offered an acceptance end up offering slightly over the number of matriculants. Just want to know where UIC stands.
In my experience that's badI just received an email saying my application was reviewed but no decision has been made. Does anyone know if that's a bad sign?

Interviewed 1/7 and finally got the packet in the mail today! Accepted =D
He received his first because he was accepted at another school first.did you receive a cbc email first like @IWUdoc2015 ?
