Nah, I'm in CU. But I'm in a 3br house I share with my boyfriend, so the total rent is $800. I imagine that housing figure is much more accurate for Chicago than for the UPR people...
Well, I've been assigned to Peoria, and $14464 is the value given to me for COL.
I guess it doesn't change based on location.
Took about a month for me.
If you go to your award letter on the right hand side under financial aid assumptions it says site and that is where you are placed.
I don't think that's the case. Mine says Chicago as well and I didn't even have the choice of choosing it when I sent in my card.
Wait, how do you do all that? I got an email about my financial aid award letter, but since I'm currently a nondegree student at UIUC, I didn't have to make a new UIC account. Did you get instructions on how to do this? If so, where did they come from?
Really? Where did you find out this information? I interviewed just last week. I was told there are still seats left from faculty.
Interviewed recently lol. By law aamc has med schools fill up their class by 3/15. So now they're officially full and more. That's why I'm asking about the turnover after April 30th
Got this directly from the AAMC website:
They have all their materials to be reviewed this week. Good luck!
Another thing to keep in mind is that UIC does not have an exact number of spots. When I interviewed at Rush, for example, they told me their class would be exactly 136 people. UIC told me that their class will be around 300 to 330 people. So they're not as constricted to reject people as other schools. Anecdotally, I know four people who have turned UIC down (three for private IL schools, one for SIU). So I think there's still some reason to be hopeful.
Especially after the April 30th deadline, there is always a lot of movement. Once all of the schools know exactly how many people are interested in specifically attending their program the cascade of shifting students to med schools begins. MSAR says UIC has typically 60-80 waitlist positions each year, not sure what percentage of those are offered acceptances, but some schools claim to offer as many as 75 acceptances off the waitlist.
I believe it just means that the school has offered at least as many acceptances as they have seats. Basically on March 15, all waitlisted schools are able to view your other acceptances. However, most schools end up giving out ~2-2.5x more acceptances than seats so there are still probably seats left in terms of the number of acceptances they are able to give out. If anyone has further insight or needs to correct me, please do! This is just what I've gathered from other threads.
Well stated. Couldn't have said it better myself! Keep hope alive everyone.
Also if there are five Thursdays in a month, the adcom tends to meet on the fourth Thursday, rather than the third.
Umm..That's kind of why I'm asking the question about the turnover rate. There is no misinformation from way I have said so far. What you did is sort of the equivalent of coming up to some random dude saying "hey did you stop beating your wife yet?" Lol.
