Does anyone happen to know about the process for deferment? Only thing I can find online is a sentence about sending an email to the medadmit email, but I'm wondering more about their criteria for granting deferrals and what the timeline might look like?

Anecdotally I know someone last year who Interviewed late feb and still got her first choice Chicago. If your first choice is Chicago there probably is smaller odds later on in the cycle but idk how significantly
do you happen to know when she heard back that she was accepted? bc then they ask you to rank right and then that takes more time?
 
Attempting to look through the thread to see if this was answered but: If I was assigned my second choice campus (Rockford) and ideally want to be placed in Chicago, should I email admissions explaining why? I'm unsure how to go about this.
 
Do the majority of applicants get put on DD rather than getting an A after an interview?

I think they changed campus placements this year so that assignments are final and can't be appealed. Asking via email probably wouldn't hurt though

Anyone here have any idea about campus placements? Since there is no appeals, are they taking into consideration those who live in Chicago, and have strong ties, and leaving spots for those students who interviewed late?

Honestly, who knows. I've lived in the city my whole life, all experience is within Chicago, i interviewed in October and got placed in Rockford. 🙃
 
When can we expect the next wave of admissions? During my interview, they said they would be released quicker since it's nearing the end of the cycle but I wonder if it's still the last week of the month for now.

Hi guys,

just wondering is it confirmed UIC is done sending out interview invites? Is it frowned upon to email them and ask also?
 
Hi! I’m applying for a scholarly concentration and on my portal it only gives me a “save” option not a submit option. Is this happening to anyone else??

Yes, but when I click on the scholarly tab now, it says completed.


- Also how long does it usually take to hear back for the scholarly concentration? Does it update itself in the portal or do you get an email?
- 2/15 interviewees, any word yet? It's been 4 weeks and the dean said we would hear back by this time.
 
Tomorrow is the third Thursday of march, essentially the day admissions convene. Do you guys think they'll be able to review applicants that interviewed last week?
 
I just checked previous months for you guys! They seem to have given decisions for people who interviewed the week before. Although it was just one person I found who confirmed it. Best of luck to all of us!!
Oh wow thank you so much for the helpful info! I really hope we hear good news!!
