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
At my interview, Dr. Thompson (associate dean for admissions) said they're not required and emphasized that they have no impact on admissions decisions, but we could still send one if we wanted to.
Oops. Just found the list of emails on the Blackboard page. I guess it's too late to send now. But yeah, there was zero mention of thank you notes during my interview day, which I thought was odd (every other interview I've had addressed them specifically in the closing remarks). Glad to hear Dr. Thompson said it didn't impact our admissions decision... 😬
LOL I wonder what's going on for real. I hope they're not hesitating on giving out A's because they're already nearing their quota and don't want to risk over-filling 😬
I was thinking about this too…but I also was thinking if they were close to filling the class then why send out another wave of II’s ya know? Idk I’m clueless about this stuff lol
Yeah no totally makes sense, just my neurotic side talking haha... it's just weird how they skipped this month considering how they haven't done so any other month since they started releasing decisions. Maybe I'm speaking too soon though... still 9 days until the end of the month
Monday’s a holiday. Deep breaths. Decisions will likely come out tomorrow
don’t think they skipped a month just yet

I interviewed last week Dr. Thompson said they decided to move the application back, so you're definitely not losing your mind lol. I was also wondering about how the scholarly concentrations worked with the different campuses (since some are campus-specific), and he actually suggested waiting until after the campus assignment to apply, since the campus assignments are final and would affect concentration eligibility based on the location.
Thanks for the helpful reply! I agree, the timing of the scholarly concentration application process is pretty odd given that circumstance...
So I'm DD but I was hoping to apply to the IMED concentration because I'd like to stay in Chicago (and I have an interest in med tech) but are you saying Dr. Thompson suggests we wait and see if one is accepted and two put on the Chicago campus?
I got my A in November, but UICOM didn’t submit my A to AMCAS until January. So there may be a delay between being accepted and PTE capability.
Yeah, that's basically what he said when I asked him during the interview. I don't know the exact timeline for how the concentration review process goes though, so I don't know if maybe it's worth a follow-up clarification email. I'm probably not going to sit on it for too long even though I expect it's going to be a bit until I hear back
Also interviewed 1/17 and haven't heard! Might send an email today to check on the status (just so I'm not holding my breath till the end of the month).
Let me know what you hear back 😩
Interviewed in January and was out on DD last month and have not heard back yet. IS and getting worried
what post bacc? the PAP?
omg congrats!! I'm hoping they will offer to interview me for that since my MCAT is on the lower side. good luck!!
Haven't heard back since being put on DD in October, im OOS, but yea worried as well.
Don’t worry! I’m sure both of you have great chances of being accepted being put on DD that early
congrats! did you get the email earlier today or just now?
Same lol
Congrats!!! As a fellow reapplicant your excitement is tantalizingly palpable
And at least we know some DD are getting looked at!
