Wow, I had no idea. Because mine says "Your application has been forwarded to the screening committee" since I completed on August 18th. This does not bode well for me. This basically means that they have not even begun reviewing my application yet. Does anyone have a decent idea of how long this process takes?
You go straight from screening committee to an interview invite on the portal so don't lose hope, sounds like they haven't made a decision on you yet but unclear if they've looked at you. I'm not sure what it looks like if you get rejected pre-interview. After your interview it says something about your application being forwarded to the admissions committee.
I interviewed this month, but other than the interview date being listed, there is no statement saying that the application has been forwarded to the admissions committee. Should I worry about it?
So it goes from "Your application has been forwarded to the screening committee" to interview invite if you get one. There are no other status updates in the middle? This seems to go against what others are posting.
It is exactly "You application is under consideration by the screening committee" or "Your application has been forwarded to the screening committee". The later sounds like it precedes the former.
Any reason you're ignoring me?
Yeah mine still says "Your application has been forwarded to the screening committee" and I have been complete since mid August. Feels bad man. I have had that status for 2 months now. I am hoping someone just forgot to update my status a month ago. With your stats and in-state status, I would think you should get an II.
I checked mine everyday and that was the case for me, unless there were a few hours between those two where it said something else. But on a Tuesday it said forwarded to screening, Wednesday it said interview invite, I interviewed that Friday, and a few business days later it switched to forwarded to the admissions committee.
I honestly don't know, maybe call in a few days if your current status doesn't change. Mine switched after just a few days. Maybe it has something to do with how quickly your individual interviewers complete their assessments? Honestly no clue though but good luck!
I was complete end of July and got an interview end of August. Was under review for about 2-3 weeks I'm guessing. If you submitted later, might take longer cuz of the increased amount of apps, so don't stress!
Wrong city, bro.
Hate to break it to you man but they are more interested in building the best possible class of students they can and less interested in an individual applicant's concerns. I know it must be frustrating to not receive an answer about your potential future at the time you were told to expect it but this process can be complicated.
It's not even about building the best class...Based on prior posts, they have already made decisions, but the portal system is STILL down.
Oh, this is news to me. So the portal system is down for everyone? Because I have been able to log in. But I haven't had an update in more than 2 months now.
Poor guy has too many interviews. What a terrible problem to have.
Im not sure if portal and system are the same thing, but reference posts #344 and #348 on this thread. They indicate a system error based on their contact with UIC admissions.
It's a terrible problem when your own and your family's income is limited. FAP reciepient repping.
wait wtf they sent them out?? also CONGRATS
Congrats! Did you hear from an email or did it update on the portal??
Yeah I was hoping I would get a status update at least on the portal since others are getting acceptance in their portals. Does this school send pre-II rejections?
Still better than "Your application has been forwarded to the screening committee" for 2+ month. I know they get a lot applicants but 2 months of screening is a long time.
