Hi Ron,
i applied to UIC last year and got in. i recall the application process being a little frustrating. they gave little feedback with regards to course equivalencies and receiving your transcirpts - so keep good track of that and don't expect much.
i'll say the interview was fair - though i had what felt like a really tough interviewer. the writing sample was cake - except the pens they provided kept running out of ink.
much luck to you.

I don't think that there's anything wrong with UIC as a school (pharmacy in particular), but they don't seem to be the friendliest with admissions, and when I called regarding admission last year they were completely uncooperative. If you like Chicago, and would like to go to a highly ranked program, I'd say check it out. I've been trying to get in touch with a friend who chose it over 9 other schools (yeah, she applied to 10), but I haven't had much luck (I'm in Arizona). If I can get any info, I'll post it. I don't think that we have any SDNers that go there on this forum currently.
Yeah, i am applying to UIC. But like everyone else said, they don't seem to be very helpful when it comes to answering questions. I called to speak to an admissions adviser because I was unsure about whether or not a class I took fulfilled the speech requirement, and they weren't very helpful. I am always getting transferred to voice mails and I never get my calls returned. I am also applying for Midwestern-DG and they are much more friendlier.
