How do they decide which campus you will be assigned to?

The paperwork said its randomly assigned, but you can submit a petition for a specific site before the placements are decided.

Hey all,

Does anyone know if the med school classes are held in the same area as the undergrad program for Chicago students? How large are typical UIC lectures in Chicago?

No, the med/dental/nursing schools are a bit west of the undergrad campus, in the Illinois Medical District.

final decision + additional correspondence on 1/22, but still nothing in the mail. Anybody else in that position?

Hi! So I'm an applicant for the 2017 cycle and was recently admitted to UIC on December 15. However, it is taking longer than expected for my packet to arrive. It could be on its way and just delayed because of the holidays (I am also OOS in California), but it could also be that they sent it to the wrong address or it got lost in the mail somehow. I think they may be getting my new address confused with my old one as I moved during the application cycle.

Did you have a similar situation/did you ever receive the packet or was it just lost in the mail somehow?

I tried contacting the admissions office, but they are closed for the holidays and won't be open again until January 3. However, I think our deposit deadline is on that date. I'm not sure how this works, but does this mean we have to have our letter postmarked by that date? Were you able to get an extension on your deposit if you missed your deadline?

Thanks for reading my message. I'm sure you can understand how neurotic and anxious this whole process makes us!

Hopefully you see this and get the chance to respond back.[/user]

Give them a call as soon as their offices open up and ask for verification that additional correspondence was mailed out to the correct address. Don't worry. Mine took a little while too.

Just call them tomorrow morning and let them know you didn't receive your packet; they'll certainly extend any deposit deadline.
