I don't think anyone outside of admissions would know, but over 75% of the overall campus placements have already gone outDoes anyone know if chicago is full yet?

were you accepted 10/26?Anyone else accepted very early and placed in Peoria, despite requesting Chicago?
Yes 🙁were you accepted 10/26?
Don't get me wrong though, very thankful to have been accepted at allYes 🙁
Totally get that. I also have a city and emergency background, and I live close to Chicago. I was just a little surprised and wondering if anyone was in the same boat.They said the placement is based on application and interview location. I personally got assigned Chicago, but it would have made no sense to send me to rockford. Rockford specializes in family medicine and rural medicine, while my background is city life, emergency medicine, acute care, anesthesia, etc.
If someone lives near rockford or peoria, and their goals/background fits that school, it is more likely they will get placed there.
I was accepted 11/20. Primary request Chicago, secondary Peoria. Still have not received any campus assignment.Anyone else accepted very early and placed in Peoria, despite requesting Chicago?

This sounds like its been answered a million times, so I'll make it a million and one times. The campus location in myUIC portal under UIC connect is set to Chicago as the default campus?
-Another anxious admittee
I'm a little frustrated that they say the interview location doesn't matter and that it's first come first serve when it's clearly not. And they're updating campus assignments in a sporadic order.
Did they say that the location didn't matter? I had no idea. I thought that it did especially when you're interviewing with staff at those specific locations and asking questions about the campus/program
When I scheduled at Peoria five minutes after calling and trying to schedule for Chicago (where I’m from) they told me multiple times it doesn’t matter at all and that taking the early interview date was better than waiting nearly a month to interview in ChicagoDid they say that the location didn't matter? I had no idea. I thought that it did especially when you're interviewing with staff at those specific locations and asking questions about the campus/program.
What's strange is when I called to ask if I could switch my interview location from Peoria to Chicago for an easier commute, the person on the phone told me that the adcom specifically wanted me to interview at Peoria.... uhWhen I scheduled at Peoria five minutes after calling and trying to schedule for Chicago (where I’m from) they told me multiple times it doesn’t matter at all and that taking the early interview date was better than waiting nearly a month to interview in Chicago
That’s really frustrating, I’m a 15 minute drive from the Chicago campus and 2.5 hours from Peoria so very much sympathize with how annoying that wasWhat's strange is when I called to ask if I could switch my interview location from Peoria to Chicago for an easier commute, the person on the phone told me that the adcom specifically wanted me to interview at Peoria.... uh
Lol! AwesomeAlso taken from their website
"Factors considered for campus assignment are in alignment with the specific mission of each campus and include, but are not limited to, where the student interviewed and the content of the application. The college makes every effort to assign admitted students to their first choice of campus; however, it is not always possible."
Or maybe not.
You got accepted in October right?? This literally makes no sense to meI interviewed at Chicago and still got placed in Peoria
wat? I thought tuition was the same throughout all the campuses.Lowkey I could see them placing more OOS people at Chicago to collect those higher tuition fees
No they're the same across all campuses I think. I meant that OOS people are more likely to pay that super high OOS tuition if they get placed at Chicago.wat? I thought tuition was the same throughout all the campuses.
OOS people will rather go to other accepted school if they are not placed in Chicago. IS people might have to bite the bullet and go whichever Campus they are placed since they have less options for OOS schools.Lowkey I could see them placing more OOS people at Chicago to collect those higher tuition fees
Bassically saying that in state is less competitive. Which might be true, but I doubt that is factored into consideration.OOS people will rather go to other accepted school if they are not placed in Chicago.

Hey, shhh. don't give them any ideas for next yearBassically saying that in state is less competitive. Which might be true, but I doubt that is factored into consideration.
I have been refreshing my campus portal, the class page, my email, and this website neurotically...Anyone want to take bets whether the 25% of us are hearing about our placement today or if the deadline is getting pushed back (again)?
I'm going crazy with anticipation.
I’d say one more week as they probably will offer the final acceptances first...
Do you think our assignments already have been made and they are just waiting to input it in the website?From the FB group today:
"Do you think the rest of the 25% will come out today? Even those accepted recently on 1/19?"
Leila: "Hopefully by the end of the week"
That's what it sounds like from Leila's comment on the FB page. She said that she is entering them in sporadically every day.Do you think our assignments already have been made and they are just waiting to input it in the website?
Oh man. She should just release the list and email the list to everyone.That's what it sounds like from Leila's comment on the FB page. She said that she is entering them in sporadically every day.
I'm not sure about that. If they were all already determined, it certainly wouldn't take as long. She makes it sound like she needs to do more work than just going in and clicking a few buttons.That's what it sounds like from Leila's comment on the FB page.

Someone wanna post and ask about if campus assignment is at all related to interview location? I posted a few times already and don’t want to be annoyingI'm not sure about that. If they were all already determined, it certainly wouldn't take as long. She makes it sound like she needs to do more work than just going in and clicking a few buttons.
Yes but interview location specifically would be kinda unfair as one of the factorsCampus assignment is related to multiple factors. Leila already talked about it.
