took one for the team and called admissions. They say decisions for DD can still come out Friday or next Monday. If not, you will have to wait until next month’s meeting :/

let’s go, waiter squad😎

I don’t think anybody did. Illinois doesn’t care about their DD people. Been here since November. This admissions committee sucks at their job.

[airquis91]

Does this go for people who just got a DD today too 😭

 

[DreamSerenade]

Has anyone else who’s waiting not gotten any status updates today? Just trying to see if I’m the only one still in limbo.

 

[youmatter:)]

don’t think they meet in April.

admissions office said they do when I called

 

[youmatter:)]

they just said they will keep reviewing every month until a final decision is made :/

 

[youmatter:)]

did they say if any other As will be coming out?

I didn’t ask specifically about acceptance :/ I’m just craving for any decision at this point

 

[medschoolfailure12]

I would assume they would give As. Last year it looks like they didn’t waitlist/reject until April

 

[chemicalrush21]

+1 IS acceptance!

 

[persistentpre-med]

+1 IS acceptance!

Congratulations!! What time did you get the email?

I got it at 3:30 PM, which is when everyone started reporting here on the thread. Woke up from a nap hence the late update 😭

I started wishfully thinking I could get my email past 6 but that didn’t seem likely 😂😭 Thank you for sharing that, and that’s amazing!!

 

[persistentpre-med]

Praying that’ll be us tomorrow 🥲

 

[DonquixoteDoffy]

Actually a lot of people who are initially DD end up getting accepted. The high post II acceptance rate is including the people who were initially DD.
Some people just stay DD a bit longer before getting accepted.

Seeing your post history, it doesn’t sound like you have many nice things to say about the school.

i mean some folks have been waiting on DD for awhile so I can understand the frustration. that said, until you have an R in your inbox, it ain’t over til it’s over

 

[rosiemo]

has anyone not heard anything from the committee? I didn't get an email yesterday

 

[persistentpre-med]

I interviewed 1/22 and got DD last month. I didn’t get an email yesterday, really hoping we get one today or Monday

 

[campanelle]

Does anyone know anything about UICOM’s internal scholarship awards and the amounts offered? Can people get full tuition covered?

 

[MedicalBotty]

how long does it take before getting a campus assignment?

 

[capri24]

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

did the x scholarship come along with acceptance latter or did they sent it separately?

 

[chemicalrush21]

how long does it take before getting a campus assignment?

I've heard about 2-3 weeks, but it might be faster for us since we are now at the end of interview season. Does anyone know if we get an email about our campus assignment or do we just have to periodically check the tab on the portal?

 

[farmeronly]

Separate email later

Do any current students have a school-specific Anki deck that is popular and they'd like to share? or do most students make their own anki decks based on in class materials/ Just use Anking?

There is a school-specific anki deck, and there should be a session during orientation week where the M2s share it with you and help you set up anki addons and such. They've done that (at least on the Rockford campus) for quite a few years now.

EDIT: I would offer to share but mine is almost certainly out of date as I believe the class below me had some updates if I heard correctly.

 

[capri24]

Is attendance at UI COM (all 3 campuses )is mandatory? if optional , how often classes meet in a week?

 

[rosiemo]

Does anyone know if they are sending more decisions on Monday?

 

[farmeronly]

Is attendance at UI COM (all 3 campuses )is mandatory? if optional , how often classes meet in a week?

Lectures are optional; clinical skills, cadaver lab, standardized patient encounters, team-based learning, and core cases are all mandatory, obviously but not everyone happens every week, so, for example, this week we have 3 mandatory sessions across two days. Lectures happen Monday-Friday but usually, more of them are towards the beginning of the week, core cases and TBLs tend to be on Thursday or Friday. The schedule is very different every week and what day you have to actually have to go to school change.

There is a UICOM deck as well as a lot of other school-specific study material, like the Parnell guide, it will all be shared with you during orientation. There is a google drive with everything and students add to it every block and campuses share material with each other, we do not have a shortage of material.

 

[rosiemo]

I was DD then accepted but my accepted was “UIC College of Medicine: Your candidacy to UI COM”

Congrats! Did they send you a DD every month you were placed in this category?

 

[averagepremed0101]

Nope! You get the initial email and wait which kinda sucked, but just be patient. You won’t hear from them until a decision is made

Thank you! Got it. So is it likely that for the people that did not hear on Thursday have to wait another month 🙄

Has anyone received an award letter yet for financial aid? I got an email to my UIC email saying my fafsa is in process, but “INCOMING UIC students: Notifications will be sent by mid-March.” Idk if the “notification” is this email or an award letter.

I did, $0 in grants/scholarships so that was part of the reason I withdrew 🤣

before you withdrew, is Peoria campus was your first choice ? if not what was your first choice campus?

My first choice was Chicago but got my second, Peoria

 

[persistentpre-med]

I’m a bit confused since it seems different things were said in one of the last interviews vs over the phone with admissions - Should we expect decisions by like the end of the month or after next month’s meeting?
