Members don't see this ad.

I have had friends try to switch out of rockford and they say no very firmly. she even mentioned she has granaprents in chicago she is the sole caretaker of and they still said no (mentioning it to prove that no matter the cirumstance they dont seem to make exceptions)

If you don’t mind, Was this over email or when speaking to someone in admissions?

Any current students at the Rockford campus willing to share their experience?

 

[Ziriyab]

Just withdrew my acceptance, and I was assigned to the Chicago campus. I hope someone just as deserving receives this spot!! Best of luck!

Is anyone signing up for the SPP?

 

[Premed1_5]

To accept the offer, the two things we have to do is accept offer on applicant portal and hit plan to enroll on amcas correct? I'm paranoid because I did not receive any sort of email confirmation that I accepted the offer correctly from UICOM's end lol. The Pre-Matriculation tab did open up, which was not there I believe.

this, the functional behavioral standards, then there’s a bunch of other pre-matriculation stuff that’ll need to be done before July 1st that I received after I hit PTE

I got my first A at another school which required me to commit today so unfortunately, I had to withdraw from UIC. It's very bittersweet as I would've loved to have gone to this school. Good luck to you all!!

 

[TheQuibblerClinician]

so its been around a week since last A round, hopefully we hear more next week!

How long did it take for the prerequisites completed item to be checked off for you guys in the applicant portal after sending in your transcripts? In the pre-matriculation requirements.

They received my transcript a week ago, but it's still not checked off. I'll probably send an email in the next couple weeks if its still not checked off.

Are you a Michigan resident?

 

[Tan061513]

got scholarship

is this for merit aid ? and if you don't mind how much do they give ?

 

[deleted1175312]

didn’t specifically say merit and I have pretty mid stats so I’m not sure. But they offered $25k so pretty substantial chunk of tuition

Thanks appreciate your quick response. Following your posts, it appears you go this scholarship after being waitlisted and perhaps contacting the office. Did you have to apply for this scholarship separately, have to complete FAFSA beforehand as a requirement , or was it just given to you without application, on coming off the waitlist ? BTW, congratulations on your scholarship !

Thank you! I filled out FAFSA when it opened up back in December, and it stated all scholarships require FAFSA being filled out. I interviewed late (March) was waitlisted, then accepted 2 weeks ago. I had another scholarship offer so I reached out to see if they’d match it. They said no, so this must be just a separate offer based on my application and extracurriculars I think.

Thanks! that was helpful information, perhaps for a lot of other applicants here too !
Good luck future Doc wherever you decide to go for Med School !

From an older doc who will retire in perhaps 5 years time.

OOS WL A to Peoria campus yesterday 5/15. Do anyone know if this means that my prereqs are already completed/when would we find that info out?

 

[KylerMurray1]

I actually have a friend who got into yesterday so excited for her! She was wondering if there’s a group chat for the Chicago campus?

 

[swiftpenguin23]

OOS WL A to Peoria campus on 5/15!

Congrats! Did they offer 25K per year or just a one time scholarship? That's awesome regardless!

 

[spicy_medic]

Giving up my spot at Chicago campus. Good luck!

 

[DreamSerenade]

How many of us still staying on the WL? It been so quiet and lonely here

 

[sillytennisfreak]

Just withdrew my acceptance to Peoria. I hope it goes to one of you!

 

[happy2Bhere:)]

Anyone have any idea when they'll fill all these open spots? Seems it's been a few weeks since the last A. I'm still holding out hope that it's soon 🤞 🙂
