I’m uncertain that’s why I’m asking.

Pretty sure UIC interviews until March. The last date available to them does not = the last date for interviews overall. Most of the time when people receive an II, there is a set of dates they get to choose from otherwise you'd have people getting IIs in Fall scheduling in Spring, and then Spring II recipients have no dates available to them.

Imagine if all schools have ALL dates as available. It would create a new element to this game where the optimal move is for early interviewees to select late interview dates, leaving August-October interviews EMPTY and filling November-March, thus eliminating all “late” applicants who will have no spots available to them by the time the adcoms get to their file 😈😈😈😈

Is that confirmation that this is the exact final date? Hoping not to be discouraged. Congratulations by the way.

I'm not sure if 2/17 is the last date! just the last one available to me. I think dates can always open up later, so hope you're not feeling too discouraged! didnt mean to cause worry!
 
Are Snapshot and Duet required for an A? I haven't done them and wondering if I should, or if it's not necessary.

I think it’s required to get a decision, but it’s not required for an interview. Would def get them in before a decision is due as it may impact timing. Also they’re super fast to get done 🙂
 
Not sure if anyone has posted this but I spoke with admissions and they told me second look day will be virtual and on March 24th
 
Did everyone who got a II choose a concentration when submitting secondaries, I know it was optional?
 
Can you apply for a concentration after an interview (but before the concentration application deadline) or is that something you would’ve had to do beforehand?

Either they didn't send out A's yet or today just wasn't my day 🤣

Looks like from previous posts decisions came out around 5pm or slightly later. I expect they send out automated emails beginning at 5pm or so. I’ve been on the edge of my seat all day today. Just another hour and a half. 😪

You can check time stamps on previous comments?

Yeah, on desktop you hover over the date with your mouse and it will show you the time.

Thanks for the tip! Hoping they had time to review our app before this month’s meeting. They should’ve as I think people have got decisions as soon as 1 week after interviewing, but we’ll see I guess.
 
when people got their interview invite email, was the individual's email that was listed at the bottom from a particular campus? mine is, so just wondering if this plays any factor into the location decision

There were two emails listed at the bottom for me and neither were from the campus I was assigned to, I don’t think it matters!
 
I never got the email for my faculty interviewer and was wondering if people sent their thank you letters to the admissions team in general or just didn't send one

I just googled the person’s name and found them on the UICOM website and sent them a thank you note rather than to admissions . Though I feel like if you send it to admissions they have the ability to forward it to the intended person 🙂

I didn't send one. They didn't mention thank you notes at all in the closing presentation and they did not make the emails of the faculty interviewers available to you, so my impression is that they probably do not want thank you notes. Other schools I interviewed at provided specific instructions for sending them at the end of the interview and made the contact info for the interviewers available. So I think if they want them, they will address it specifically.

Interesting… when I had my interview they said that if we are interested in sending thank you notes, on the blackboard link they sent us a week prior to the interview, they have a word document that has the faculty interviewers email addresses. But This was back in October, things might have changed
