uhhh, when are they supposed to send the interview information... my interview is in two days and they haven't sent a zoom link or anything
I feel like I got the information very last minute. Maybe day before?
 
Anyone know when WL movement starts
UICOM doesn't use a waitlist until like May, so you will be on deferred decision, people on DD get As every month there is no real way to know when unfortunately, some people are put on DD in October and get an A in April, some people get DD in March and get an A May, just depends. However, almost everyone they interview gets an A so the DD is mostly to make sure those interviewed later have the same chance.
 
for those that have interviewed, did you send thank you notes? and if so did you only send it to the faculty interviewer?

I did not (+ was accepted in this first wave). The dean that was present during my interview day was explicit in that thank-you notes have no bearing on your odds of admission—of course send one if it feels genuine though!
 
If I was complete 9/15, is it safe to assume they probably haven't got to my app yet? I know apps are reviewed in random order sometimes, but just wondering if the silence could potentially mean that they are uninterested in my app. Thanks in advance for helping calm my neuroticism! LOL
 
They meet every third Thursday of the month and decisions come out the day later or the following Monday. Each month is an opportunity to get another DD, an A, or a WL
Do they notify you every meeting again if you're DD still?

They have probably seen it, just haven't made a decision on interviewers yet, its a very dynamic process, I wouldn't worry too much
 
Accepted in Oct, Just got campus assignment email! Anyone know when we’ll start to hear about scholarships?

I’m in the same boat, but from what I’ve seen only one person has gotten an interview that submitted in September, and nobody has yet from mid-September. I’ve resolved to just wait until the second big wave of interviews in February LOL

Oh what really, only one II from September? That's hella reassuring!! Hoping we hear back sometime soon 🙂
 
IS/Chicago A!!!! Interviewed 9/17. Does anyone know of any people who are from Chicago that were placed in Peoria/Rockford? Really hoping they don't do me dirty like that lol

Does anyone know if this question "Since your interview with UI COM, is there any new information you’ve learned about our campuses or programs that you would like to share with us?" will affect our campus assignment..?
 
do we think they will send another round of decisions next month? since the third thursday is so close to the holidays
 
for those who got off DD, did you send an update letter?

it's making me nervous because I'm like...no?
 
Dang, feel pretty bummed. Didn’t go into today feeling super optimistic about getting the A today since I interviewed a week ago and they seemed pretty ambivalent about getting results next week but feel defeated by the whole thing nonetheless. Congrats to you all tho!
