2023-2024 Illinois

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Got an A from another school last week, but really hoping to get an A from here. It's also very close to some extended family that I'm close to. Fingers crossed for everyone in similar situations!
 
For anyone who is curious - based on last year’s thread, they don’t seem to send out any acceptances between official WL(4/15) and the end of April. All of the acceptances off WL seem to come through weekly starting 5/1, so I don’t think we’ll be hearing anything this Friday.

I feel like with the post-ll rejections, they could move people off the WL before the end of April, but that's me being optimistic.

Yeah I wouldn’t hate if that were the case. Was also looking for last year(or maybe year before), it seemed like they did silently reject people from DD and never email them saying they were officially moved to the waitlist, never an outright post-II R. So not sure if we can directly compare cycles.

Curious how the financial aid debacle is going to impact people passing on UICOM given how expensive OOS tuition is.

Guessing more OOS applicants will get off the WL bc the school needs more funding from their tuition rather than the cheaper IS tuition

Yes, but doubt OOS applicants are as likely to commit here given 100k+/year OOS cost without much clarity on financial aid
 
Hello! I know it's late to talk about this but since I was fortunate to be accepted by two Illinois schools, UICOM and Loyola, I want to learn some perspectives from everyone! I wish to specialize in Derm, Cardiology, or Radiology in the future. Which school will be a better fit? I enjoyed my interview days at each school and everyone seems to be very cool during my second look visits. The caveat is I was assigned to the Peoria campus for UICOM whereas Loyola would be in Maywood/Chicago. I am an Illinois resident. What are pros/cons about these two schools? Any perspective is appreciated! Thank you!

You should post on the Help Me Decide thread. You may get a bit more insight ☺️
 
Already emailed admissions to withdraw my A but I guess they haven’t acknowledged it yet cause I just got a merit scholarship of $20k annually

Edit: scholarship is called the research scholarship and was awarded based on my research experience

Do people on the waitlist need to do anything regarding the pte / cte deadlines? Saw in past years you should mark pte to show your interest but I’m not sure if rules have changed
 
Do you see an update on the CYMS tool reflecting your waitlist status here? I do not
After seeing an email from aamc, i don’t think the cyms tool would be available to me yet? Since I do not have an MD acceptance yet. I just heard in the past you had to mark it for waitlist but maybe that was only for people with an A + WL

Are any current students at UIC available to answer some questions?
 
anyone know why this office doesnt respond to emails
My guess is that the last week or two they have been flooded with emails from accepted/waitlisted applicants who want more info on XYZ while they are simultaneously trying to finish building out the incoming class.
 
and now we let the q5m email refreshing begin
Here We Go Again GIF
 
Anyone know how long it takes to get a financial aid offer? I don't want to accept and pull out of my current PTE if the financial aid is not there.
 
I wonder if offers today are to people without acceptances 🤔
