UIC let me down harder today than the Rams did in the Super Bowl
i obviously am not positive, but I doubt it. they mentioned that they have monthly meetings, so I think they are done meeting for Feb :/ I hope this is not true though and that they meet and review more people (like me! lol)Earlier in the thread, there were some who mentioned that admissions would be meeting again on the 14th. Does anyone know if that is happening?
Have they rejected anyone post interview yet? Or are they waiting to send out rejections?
I have been on deferred status since November (II in October), and I’m starting to worry.
Got my campus assignment today. Peoria. I am out of state with absolutely no connections to the state, no social support outside of Chicago and they decided to put me in the suburbs...nice...

While we all wait desperately for our results, I thought I'd make a translation guide so that future applicants can understand the language of UICOM admissions.
Friday = Monday
Monday = Tuesday
Manually entered = this guy named Graig MANUALLY stops admissions from entering decisions
After October 15th, admissions will no longer be on a rolling basis = admissions has abandoned the idea of adhering to a timeline
Your application has been forwarded to the admissions committee = they haven't even looked at your app yet, buddy
seriously, every time i refresh my portal, my self-esteem sinks lower and my photo looks uglierOr they can just send a mass email and then update the portal later.....
Can confirm, I just called the admissions office to check on the status of my app (5 months post interview here btw) and was told that it hasn't been reviewed yet and that I shouldn't expect a decision until early March.
I don't think we're deferred, since that would indicate that they've actually looked at our applications. They literally just haven't gotten to us yet.
Do we know if they have finished putting in decisions from the meeting last Friday?This is SO FRUSTRATING.
I have to make a second deposit at the school I've previously been accepted to (who I would drop in a heartbeat for UIC) by March 1st.
Probably.Do we know if they have finished putting in decisions from the meeting last Friday?
I've got the same concern, but if they wanted to reject us, they would have already. There's literally no benefit to them withholding that information. I honestly believe that this whole ordeal is a combination of them being critically understaffed and dealing with the implications of the new traffic rules - a crappy coincidence but somewhat understandable.cause i'm worried that they might just be telling us that and we're actually slated to be rejected later...
Honestly you should call them and ask. And then use that as your excuse to also get better clarity about when your decision will be released.If our decisions are being pushed to March (a cool 7 months or so after my interview), can we essentially not apply for any of the special programs? I wanted to apply to GMED, but their deadline is March 1 and the app says you can't submit it until you're accepted..?
The amount of contradictory information that comes out of admissions is astonishing. I'm honestly having a hard time believing that they haven't reviewed the applications from those who interviewed in September/October. I would think this is some sort of deferral but not sure.
Just called admissions. Interviewed early October, and the staff member told me that my application still hasn't gone to committee, and I'd have to wait until early March. I guess there are a still unlucky few who interviewed early still haven't been reviewed by adcoms. How tragic.

BUT WHERE ARE THEY LOLJust called. Still putting in decisions from last Friday.
Well. See y'all next month?
I know we keep mentioning the new AAMC rules, but how exactly are they impacting the acceptance process?
I was actually thinking that no other schools seem to be having these issuesI interviewed at several schools after interviewing at UIC and have recieved final decisions for them all. One of the schools interviews roughly the same amount of applicants. Whatever’s going on with UIC seems like a separate issue from the new AAMC rules.
Accepted on 10/19 and still no packet.Did anyone who got accepted on 1/11 receive their information packet in the mail yet? I am still waiting on more info for what I need to be doing to complete admit requirements and what the timeline is on those.
Dang. Have you started gathering info on immunizations? I haven't gotten an email about what I need to fulfill for this either. My portal also says I need proof of graduation-have you heard anything about what to do for this?Accepted on 10/19 and still no packet.
