I see you're from Chicago - don't expect much from SIU. They sent me a letter in early July telling me that they had received my application and would make a decision on it as soon as possible. That is the last I've heard from them. I hear that they are like this with all non-southern Illinois residents (i.e. Chicagoans).
Got Loyola's secondary back in mid August. A few new questions, but they are very accomodating and say that if you answer the questions anywhere else in your applcation (personal statement, Practice vision) just to say so.
Good luck, y'all.
