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 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 thought it means they already reviewed it but haven't made a decision 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?
 
ugh guys the fact we have to wait a month in between decisions is killing me- stritch at least has a committe meeting every 2 weeks
I so hope since its near the end of the cycle they will give us decisions sooner
 
Is there any vibe for how many of us are on DD?

Also, last year the WL seems to have been created April 15th, which was the Monday of the third week, so hopefully it will be similar this year vs the end of the third week. They also sent a few post-I Rs on April 10th (including people who were put on DD in like October which is extremely cruel imo), which was the second week so literally who knows atp. I don't trust adcoms on anything they claim lol.
 
Have not heard anything since secondary submission, sent 3 updates. Do they just ghost? OOS applicant. I know it is probably a R, but like I need to see the physical email LOL
 
Does anyone remember about how many interviewees UICOM had this cycle? I heard that the number was significantly different than last year.
