Hello,

I didn't see a thread for University of Illinois at Chicago so I wanted to create one. Has anyone heard from them? Does anyone know when they start to send out interviews?
 
From 2021 thread, Aug 30 was the first day, so late August, and definitely Sept 🙂
 
Anyone know when they start inviting for interviews?
 
What do you think is the lowest GPA UIC accepts? and AA/TS DAT scores? I know their average but does anyone have any idea about minimum possible? Thanks!!
 
I submitted my application on august 1st, did the supplemental as well. My last recommendation letter came in few days ago but my status on AADSAS is received/still waiting for additional info. Anyone on the same boat?

Anyone know how heavily they take residency into consideration? I saw their 2021 student profile and noticed they only had 2 out of state students. I'm out of state and want to know how slim my chances are.

For class of 2020 on their class profile website, it said that around 800 OOS applicants applied and they only interviewed 19 and accepted 5. So they are not really OOS friendly..
 
Anyone know if September 13th is the earliest interview date at UIC?
 
I submitted my application to UIC at the end of June about two weeks after the opening. They didn't receive my official DAT scores until the very end of July, but I am not sure if they needed the official ones to start looking at my app.
These are my stats for those who asked:
20 AA, 20 TS, 22 PAT, 16 QR, 21 RC, 22 Bio, 19 Gen Chem, 20 Orgo
3.75 GPA and 3.7 Science

I had an interview at UIC last week and it was very chill. My interview was one-on-one with a clinical professor and it was closed file. The interview lasted around 20 minutes. I honestly think it depends on who interviews you whether it will come off as chill or serious.
 
I had mine last week too. I interviewed with one clinical professor and she did not have a list of questions to ask me. She just asked me a lot of follow-up questions based on what I would say. She did ask me the same question literally 3 times, "what do you want me to know about you?"...and there was no time at the end to ask questions with my interviewer, but that's maybe because we were talking a lot.

Did they ask you guys any ethical questions / anything from left field?

In one of my responses to what she should know about me, I said that I am a trustworthy person and that I would never cheat etc, and then she asked a follow-up question of "have you ever been put in that situation where a classmate was cheating? How did you handle it?" So I am not sure that you for sure will get an ethical question if the other interviewers had lists of questions, but mine asked me. There were no other questions like that or ones where I had to think outside of the box. Just questions about getting to know me.

Yes, I got an ethical question. All questions asked were very easy to answer.. they just want to know who are you, so be honest and you will be fine.

I thought the Director of Admissions at UIC informed applicants that it was an MMI/speed dating format?

Where I got my info: First hand told in an ADEA Virtual Fairs & Webinar by Director of Admissions.

Could someone confirm if UIC does MMI and how they run it? Because I am hearing alot of 1v1 interviews in contrast to MMI. Just need some clarification please; and thanks!

Nope! It was definitely a one-on-one interview. So you will meet with either one or two interviewers for around 20 minutes and that's it. They ask around 10 questions.
 
Does anyone know when UIC sends out the last invites to interview for this cycle?
 
Does anyone know how from after the interview UIC decides who gets in? Im not sure if my interviewers were on admissions but do they just fill out a form that evaluates my interview and then give that to the admissions?
