For financial aid, do we receive an email notification about updates sometime this month?

I’m staring at the amount of money I’m pulling out for medical school and it hits you hard cause I’m already thinking of how I won’t be able to start paying anything back for like 8 years 😅.

People asking about financial aid stuff you can see it now in the netID portal that they emailed out to you.

How long ago did you get an email about netID? I haven't gotten anything referencing netID or log in credentials form UIC or even gotten my campus placement lol. Are you able to find in your log in credentials looking through the email history in the portal (the communication history tab)?

I got it on March 7th. It gave me my UIN number which is ironically the same student number I had when I was at Urbana Champaign so many years ago and showed me how to activate my portal.

I also got mine, but on March 12th. It sounds like they're slowly sending this information out. I set up my password but still can't log onto my applicant portal. Were you able to do it right away?

I set up the password when I was on vacation so I didn’t try to log in for a couple of days later tbh. Then I couldn’t figure out the link to it so I googled UIC school of medicine netID and that got me to the login page which worked.

Unless you were ever arrested or had to appear in court, I don’t believe it counts as a misdemeanor or felony and shouldn’t appear on a background check.

I just got placed in Peoria and I’m pretty upset about it to be honest. Im from only big cities and out of state, and was really excited about the opportunities in Chicago. Anyone have advice as to how to make the best of this?

Has anyone received any scholarships?
Click to expand...
I emailed the financial aid office with a few different questions including one about scholarships. They said, “All scholarships are awarded to first-year students from the College Committee on awards and scholarships through the Office of Admissions. Scholarship notices have been going out as the committee makes approvals. As of today, we have received all notices that the committee has released. Admissions have informed us that the committee will still be making an additional offer over the next few months.”

So it sounds like they have awarded some scholarships, but there’s more to come.

I was accepted 11/21, and my UIC portal says the FAFSA requirement was satisfied as of 11/30. I think I updated the FAFSA the same day I was accepted. So maybe email them? They may be behind right now though. Not sure!

Does anyone have the transcripts from their universities marked as complete in their portal? I sent them back in december but I still cant see a change.

What service did you use to mail your transcripts? My alma mater uses a third party now and I haven’t figured out how to get the transcripts sent to the med school address bc it’s not available via this third party 😩
 
Yesterday was the last committee meeting right? So we should hear something today? I was delayed decision 2 months ago

I wouldn’t give up hope even if you don’t hear anything. The school doesn’t know how many of its accepted students will commit to enroll once the April 30th deadline comes around so there may be a lot of movement after that deadline as people take or drop the acceptance for other schools.

If I applied to GMED and haven't heard anything, but then got placed in Rockford, does this mean an automatic rejection for the program? I emailed them, but I want to see if anyone heard anything about this.

My understanding is no. You will be considered separately for GMED, and if selected to join, be switched to Chicago campus

anyone know what the chances are of getting off the delayed decision status list? I interviewed back in 12/18 and uploaded 2 update letters, 2 updated current class transcripts, and 2 letters of intent/interest (whatever its called). Haven't heard from them since being delayed decision on 1/22. Should I email Dr. Amiri or something? Help......

Delayed decision in October. Seems like nothing yet. International student.
 
Same here. Delayed decision since October. International student.
 
Yo kind of random but can any M1s/M2s discuss what it’s like being a UIC med student - the good, bad and everything in between. How stressful is it/what’s work life balance like, and how’s the grading I guess? If you could compare UIC med to undergrad, what are similarities/differences etc? Really want to know like an honest perspective on your experiences.

I was hoping that some A's would be given out today, since I've seen people hear back on Saturdays, but I guess it's not happening this week.
Does anyone know if decisions will be sent out in April as well? Or are the delayed decision people virtually on the waitlist now?

I'm pretty sure they will send out some acceptances in April and anyone who doesn't get one by then will be put on the waitlist.
