Where is that information said that we can’t appeal this year? I haven’t seen that anywhere on the website, app or emails?
It used to be on the portal but this year they took out the option.
And I assume emailing admissions you get the generic “we are not allowing campus appeals, your placement is final” reply.
I have no idea, lol maybe. I'm still waiting to hear back fingers crossed till next week.
To be honest, If I don't hear back on Monday I'll send an email to admissions or call them depending on how I feel lol. Also even if they DD, they are supposed to email you saying that. Not ghost you.
Only admissions would know. Depends entirely on how conservatively (or freely) they handed out A's + the number of people that turn down offers after April 30th. If they handed out A's like candy and more people accept a spot here than anticipated then there will, unfortunately, be little to no DD/WL movement. Hoping for all our sakes though that new management accepted conservatively and we'll see a lot of movement in the coming months.
You have to interview for those concentrations? I applied GMED before getting a decision. ^.^
I literally received an email from the admissions office that stated “
Same!! I hope we get more clarity about our concentration status 🙁
It seems like there is some non-chronological acceptance aka someone who interviewed in February got accepted on Saturday. But I am not getting my hopes up 🙁
I know a few people who heard back in late April / May I think when people drop their A's to UICOM.
I think something like this, but I'm not 100% sure. I know the DD list moves, but I think it's crazy some people are DD'ed since November... Would've been nice to get an A right now, but there may be a chance in the next few months.
I have a friend who got the A in late May and he interviewed in December. Hold out hope 😀
I mean that's what will happen when they hand out 600 offers but only matriculate 300-320.
The MSAR has 30% or 100 students with an MCAT of 506 or below. If that makes you feel better 😛
They meet every third Thursday of every month. So they'll meet on April 20th to decide who to accept, reject, or DD. After April 30th, all DD will be converted to WL
I was wondering if you were assigned a campus yet?
Yeah, I was assigned to Peoria! Not really my cup of tea and luckily I have another A that is a better fit
Thanks for the positive words! I’m grateful for people being transparent because it felt like everyone was getting As but it’s actually a pretty similar amount of DD reported and I’m sure there’s reporting bias 🙂 let’s believe in the 80% acceptance rate and hope for the best!
Exactly. I know that DD feels like the end of the world, but it's really not. Everyone take a breather and remember that getting an interview at UIC is much harder than getting the A and we've all made it past the major culling. At this point, all anyone can do is send an LOI if applicable, trust in their acceptance statistics, and wait for good news which can come as late as August. Like so many people said SDN is an extremely small sample size, and DD is by no means a soft R. Whether it be due to high OOS cost, dissatisfaction with campus placement, or better school options, many people will turn down their A's. Sit tight!
Yea I did yesterday!
bet! thank you
A - Friday and not yet 🙁
