Even though interviews are virtual, are they conducted for a specific campus? I know you're interviewing for admission to the entire UICOM system, but the website mentions the campus you interviewed on being factored in your campus placement, does that still mean anything?

What international document? I am a Canadian applying here!

The campus assignment happens AFTER the interview, like sometimes weeeks after. However, each interview session has its facilitator, i.e. sometimes it's Chicago and sometimes Peoria doing a given interview session. IDK if there's any preference for being assigned to a campus if you interviewed on that campus thou. There's for sure a procedure for people admitted to cocurricular programs (e.g. IMED, GMED, UMED etc) - in such cases you may be assigned to e.g. Peoria since it was your preference and then be reassigned later to Chicago since you matched IMED.

For me, they needed a valid permanent resident card. More info here: Non-US Citizen Applicants

Congrats! Would you mind sharing your complete date?
How long did it take yall to receive a complete email? I submitted exactly 6 weeks ago and haven't got one yet. Should I contact them?
I didn't get one but I'm marked complete, they may just not send one.
Hi! It was 8/13 🙂

For those who interviewed, were there a lot of IS applicants? Currently IS and have not heard anything. Completed early July.

Felt like a good majority in mine were OOS.

They actually have more IS interviews than OOS, as they're a public institution. For the last year it was something lik 370 OOS, 410 IS, and 40 international (including CA). So if anything it's 50-50.
During my interview day we more IS than OOS, so I think it's semi random 😉

II received today. OOS, ORM, LM 67. Got 4th quartile casper but did not do snapshot/duet-because of this I dont think I ever received a complete email? (has this happened to anyone else?), but i submitted my secondary 8/3. Probably will complete the altus suite later this week.
Do we need to fill out the scholarly concentration (GMED, UMED, etc.) before II decision to have a complete application or a competitive application?

Per UICOM Website, the committee meets the following month after the interview "on the 3rd Thursday" regarding their decision to admit a student. Has anyone noticed this to be the case yet?

I believe that is the case, but we probably won't find out for sure until the 15th to see which interview dates receive a response. If this is the case, those that interviewed on or after September 15th should not hear until October 21st most likely.

Can someone clarify this please:
Also note that if you are interested in any of the scholarly concentrations, there are additional essays that are program specific.
Is this referring to the 2nd question where they ask you to pick 2 from a list of topics you might be interested in?
I haven’t received the Secondary yet so I’d appreciate someone clearing this up for me. Thanks!

Any IS applicants hear anything this week?
When you select a concentration (or multiple) in your 2nd portal you save that section. The form for the application will then have additional section(s), each related to the concentration(s) you selected. In these sections there you will be more essays to write and these essays are concentration-specific.

^ Lol it seems like barely anyone IS getting II so far...
Not sure where that number came from, but I read that in last year's cycle, about 50% of IS interviewees got accepted and about 20% of OOS interviewees got accepted, and since there were significantly more IS accepted than OOS the average acceptance post-II was like 40%.

Acceptance rate is higher than enrollment. IS enrollment > OOS enrollment for sure.

Oh wow I had no idea they accepted almost twice the number of students that actually end up enrolling. That's wild.
On interview day, they showed us last years data. I think it was something like 8000 apps, interviewed ~700 accepted 600 and about 300 enrolled

I know right! I’m wondering when more IS applicants will get II. Does anyone know how many invites they have sent out so far?
UIC is one of my top choices, keeping my fingers crossed [emoji1694]

Same!
it do be like that for us OOS students, my coping mechanism is googling salaries and sending nelnet "loans disbursed" emails to spam
that being said, its worth it. I've really been enjoying my time here.

I would hope so since that is consistent with past years A releases! For context I interviewed on 9/21 so idk if those dates will be included but fingers crossed
Any more IS IIs go out recently?

Thanks for the response! Can you or someone else clarify the whole portal thing. I don’t understand this

If you respond “yes” to the previously applied to medical school question, what do they ask you to do next?
And if you select 2 categories from question 2 as being an interest of yours, what follow up questions do they ask?
Thanks in advance!
