Congrats to all those getting them A’s! For those that are comfortable, can you share your stats/LM and when you received your II?

Did they post about the acceptance at 5 or did the email come at 5 😭🤔?
... good point. not sure. According to @skhudeira99 's phone call, it's worth checking the portal until the end of the week before chalking it up to next month.
 
So I'm an OOS student about to interview next week. I talked a lot about my experiences with rural med and talked about the Peoria/Rockford campuses in the essay where we talk about two campuses. Will this have an impact on my campus placement? I really want to go to the Chicago campus and am worried about whether this will impact that. One of the main reasons why I want to go here is because of the experience and opportunities in the city! I wanted to talk about a breadth of my experiences in my secondary and I want to know how much of a role this will play
from what i have heard in my interview experience here a few weeks agao, they have some algorithm that looks at: your application experiences to see where youll be a best fit, needs of the different campuses (whatever that means), and your ranking of the campuses (which you will do when you get accepted) to determine the campus that you will be assigned, among other factors.

they also said that like 99% of applicants pick chicago as their first choice for the ranking so expect half of the acceptees to be disappointed when they don't get assigned there. dont know how much that secondary question makes an impact on that, but it seems like they look at multiple variables

high stat IS, submitted early july, total radio silence even after update letter. is it over? i have multiple A’s so ik there arent any big red flags 🙁(
I feel like its hard to get in IS (esp if you went to UIC) because they designate many of the IS states for GPPA. In reality, do we even have an IS advantage?
 
Do they normally send an email for the time you're scheduled to interview the day before? I have two days till mine and haven't received anything yet so I don't know if I should reach out or wait
 
Hello! For anyone who’s interviewed, do they tend to ask follow up questions during the MMIs or is it more like once you’re done talking the station is done?
