🙂
So...this Thursday is the next adcom meeting, right? I have a final on Friday, debating whether to check my status page on Thursday night or after my exam (if I have the strength to hold back)...
Mine also changed this morning! Can it be Thursday already?! Good luck to you (and everyone else also biting their nails until then)!
Congrats!!!You're MD/PhD (or MSTP), yes?
You would have to be moved if you were accepted. I don't know to your other questions.
They didn't seem to care when I interviewed either much earlier in the cycle. You might be projecting a little bit.
I've heard it was first come first serve from the M2 that interviewed me, but other people say that it's not true, and that they have indeed gotten their first choice despite doing it very late. There's just so much inconsistent information out there that I'm not going to even bother thinking about it until I find out if I even got accepted or not.
It's not really that hard to figure out what happens if you think about it. It is first come first serve, except they try to keep the classes balanced. If the first 200 people are all white males and they all want to go to Chicago, the university isn't going to let that happen because it would create an odd situation. There is also the possibility that people will drop out of one campus and new acceptees will be given the opportunity to attend there.
Last month people's portals were changing between 4pm and 6pm the day of the adcom meeting. I'm anxiously waiting.
Well it's usually the 3rd Thursday of the month, so I don't know where your feeling is coming from. Did they say something at your interview about the meeting?
Actually I have no idea whether "additional correspondence" means acceptance or rejection. I just know I don't have to wait until next month for a decision! I've kept up with posts in this thread and from what I've read I think it's possible to get a rejection even with the add. corr. tab in your portal. My "tab" doesn't have a link or a date. It's all very unclear. I hope it's good news. My stats are average, but I'm nontraditional with an MS and some work experience.
+1 Final Decision + Additional Correspondence
You me and @broken_gymnast are all in the same boat. I called last Thursday and the guy I spoke with seemed apologetic that I hadn't been given any decision yet. He told me I should "hear in the next week or so".
I'm inclined to agree. Really thought I interviewed well, but I guess not 🙁 Would be nice to be able to pay in state tuition and potentially do EM rotations in Chicago... at least I do have another acceptance, though. :-/
Thanks. I hope you're right!
They're not "done", but let's be real. With a school like uic, you most likely wouldn't hear back :/
