does anyone that had an interview know how far in advance you get an email regarding the structure of the interview day? also any insight on if the interview is open file or closed file? the sdn interview feedback for this program is pretty outdated

I got the email two days before mine.

How likely is it to hear back about decisions this Friday if you interviewed during the first week of January?
Someone asked this at my interview. They said yes, it is likely you'll hear back, just not guaranteed. If you don't hear anything, it's because they haven't gotten to every single interviewee's app, but not to worry because you're still given equal consideration.

^^^ I asked this during 1/4 interview. They gave us the impression that most of us SHOULD be reviewed and receive a decision on the 19th, but they also made it seem like some people could leak into Feb. if you interviewed on 1/11, I would be less convinced you’ll be reviewed, but that’s just me. Definitely seems like a crapshoot depending on how quickly they can review their applicants

Sorry, what's today?
UIC does monthly application batches. Their committee meets the third Thursday of each month, and acceptances are sent either the Friday or Monday thereafter (it's supposed to be Friday but sometimes it gets delayed). Since yesterday was the third Thursday, today is the day acceptances should be coming for January.

Which is why people are checking emails (to see if they got in) and here (to see if other people got in, as that would confirm they started being sent today rather than Monday)

Have they said anything about days they release more II’s on? I know they’re not done sending those out until late Feb, but not sure if they have a day of the week or pattern they follow.

Ah I knew they reviewed on 3rd Thursdays but I thought decisions came out following week.
