Sorry if this question is silly, but do the interviewers for the MMI ask follow-up questions? I assume they do.

Yes they do! Some of my answers simply couldn’t be 5 minutes long (lol) so they’d ask me a different hypothetical relating to the scenario/question or something like that. To me it seemed like they may have had a list of follow up questions but I’m not too sure!

Yes they do ask about 1-3 follow up questions and prior to answering the question you get 2 mins to read over and jot down notes.

Do you think it’s worth contacting admissions if I interviewed mid Jan and haven’t received a decision yet? Do they strictly go in order of interview date? Even those who interviewed weeks after me have already received A or DD and I’m starting to worry I was forgotten about

I guess it won't hurt to ask?

Anyone know when the next decision date probably is?

At my interview Wednesday they still said the typical “we meet the third week of the month” so should be the same pattern as it has been each month (would be March 21st or 24th probs)
 
For anyone who has been offered a scholarship and accepted the scholarship, have you received any follow-up info?
 
does uic give scholarships or aid? does sending a letter of intent decrease my chances of getting those?

Their website says everyone is considered for merit-based aid. I am wondering, for those that have received their financial aid packages already, what was the process like and how long did it take?

I am already a student at UIC, at least for me, they just sent me an email and said you've been selected to receive X scholarship and this is how much you will get every year and that was it. It automatically comes off my tuition bill every semester
 
I just got an email that had information related to being assigned to Peoria, but I didn’t get an email about site assignment nor is there any update on the portal… does that mean I’m assigned to Peoria for sure or…?!?
 
Did anyone else assigned to Peoria get an email about campus visits? Is this in place of the second look day?

Nice! Do you know how they select those scholarships? I have a 4.0 and high MCAT. Really hoping I don't have to drown in debt after graduating now that IDRs are gone
 
Do they ever ghost post interview? I interviewed mid Jan and starting to worry

Assuming you checked the portal to see if you missed any communication from them (go to "Status" then select "Communication Status" in case you needed clarification!), I personally would reach out and ask what is going on (very professionally of course haha). It was my understanding that a decision of at least DD would be given to the people who interviewed prior to the release date... I highly doubt it would hurt to ask them for clarification 🙂
 
Got second look email but it was blank with a link to the flyer at the bottom? Does anyone know if virtual second look/in-person are the same? I can probably make both but if it's all the same info I'll just go in-person lol
 
Got assigned to Peoria, my first choice! Could any current Peoria student dm me to chat about housing options/life in Peoria 😀
 
How is everyone at the Chicago campus looking at housing? From what I have seen the Little Italy area is most popular
 
I sent an update letter last month via the portal but never got confirmation that it was received. should i have gotten confirmation? should i reach out?
 
Hi! I was assigned to the Peoria campus and was hoping some current students could reach out to me so I can ask them questions?
 
Has anyone here ever written a letter of intent to UI com, and do you feel like it helped? Especially curious to hear from anyone who was DD or felt like they were on the edge after interviewing.

so i interviews in febuary, was put on delayed decision even though I think the interview went well ( I have a guess for why ), and did send a letter of intent. Obvi I do not know if it helped but after reading that they are now pretty much done with interviews, I can only hope it does plus have them give me the chicago campus lol
 
No R yet but assuming it’s coming given that it’s March and interviews are done.

What day did you interview? I think the 2/13 and 2/14 interviews were all put on DD?

Pre-II IS R. Apparently all the interviews were concluded last week, so sadly they wont offer anymore interviews this cycle. This one hurt real deep cuz I had some really strong ties to the school :/

I'm so upset 😭 Have to leave family again for higher education now. I already miss them and I'm not even gone yet.

Current first-year medical student at UICOM-Peoria. In person campus tour visits are entirely optional and not in place of second-look day. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions!
 
Was accepted in December and just got an email about financial aid last week. It said I need to login to their portal to see it and that if I'm a new student I would get an email with a portal token in a few days but I haven't gotten one. Has anyone been able to login to see their financial aid?
