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?

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?

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EDIT: I would offer to share but mine is almost certainly out of date as I believe the class below me had some updates if I heard correctly.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

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 🤣
 
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?

I haven't yet either... the portal says 5-7 business days after FAFSA receipt but its been 9 days for me. Not sure what their schedule is!
 
if I interviewed in late february and haven't heard anything (dd or a), should I assume that I won't hear anything until next month? I'm confused why they only gave decisions to some people last week

When was your interview? To my understanding the admissions committee meets every third week so if you interviewed after that, I reckon you’ll be in the next batch
 
Should all delayed decisions be coming out by this Friday? On MSAR and UICCOM's application timeline, they list 3/28 as the last day for admissions decisions to be sent out; I'm guessing this goes for all decisions except for WL ones.

my interview was on 2/28, and according to this, other ppl on my interview date heard back last thursday
 
maybe since the last batch interviewed and they are trying to close up the class, I have a feeling we will start to hear randomly thorughout the next 3 weeks, not necessary only after the 3 week committee meeting mark? Hopeful wishing on my part

Maybe your file after your interview wasn’t completed by them yet—ie the interviewers didn’t give their feedback fast enough
 
Anyone know if DD means they already reviewed my app and they are not sure what to do or that they have not reviewed my app yet?

I was under the impression it could mean they’ve reviewed it and haven’t made a decision, but it could also mean your interviewer hasn’t been able to talk about you at the ADCOM meeting. Either or
 
No response means the committee has not reviewed applicant. DD means you have been reviewed and not offered acceptance at this time. DD is used to keep the class from filling up too early due to rolling admissions. Essentially DD is “we like you, but might find someone we like better”. DD is not waitlist. WL will be created at the end of the cycle (end of April) if you are DD and not offered acceptance.

so you’re saying they like me😏
 
did yall get an email with ur campus assignment or did it just update in the portal randomyl
 
Called yesterday, and for those of us still on DD, they already released decisions last Friday and Monday for this month's DD re-review. It seems we'll have to wait until next month's DD re-review to (hopefully) finally know our final fate (e.g. A, WL, R)

do we know when this will be? past threads look like it was before the third week of april. Yes, I know I sound crazy lol
 
Do you guys think people who got accepted last Thursday could hear back about campus assignments tomorrow? Or is it different from decisions and could be literally any day at any time?
