[predent124]

I called the admissions office and they were able to give me somewhat of an update

What did they say?

Members don't see this ad.

 

[Brightsmile140]

What did they say?

They said my file was still open and the next round of acceptances would be in January

 

[Goonersaurus]

Is anyone that has already been accepted an OOS applicant?

Yes, I did on the 2nd. I will not be attending so a spot should open up soon.

 

[wedabros]

Will SIU be sending out acceptances again any time soon?

 

[Winterspring]

Will SIU be sending out acceptances again any time soon?

They sent the second round out on January 17th last year. I would expect it to be at least another couple weeks.

so close but so far away :')

 

[Brightsmile140]

Tomorrow hopefully the day?

 

[wedabros]

Tomorrow hopefully the day?

I called on Monday and I was told the committee hasn't even met yet after the first acceptances were sent out on Dec 3rd. I hope tomorrow is the day too, but I have a feeling it might not be?

 

[Brightsmile140]

Thank you for the update! I’m really hoping we hear soon

Did they say anything about when they think the next batch will be? I have an interview coming up elsewhere but I was hoping I'd hear back from SIU so I could cancel it if I got accepted

Nope, I didn't get any info about that but I didn't ask! Feel free to call, ask and let us all know!

 

[dentrose]

AWPA yesterday. Not sure if/when acceptances will be sent

what’s an AWPA?

 

[Brightsmile140]

Aren’t those just for medical schools?

[RYost234]

[frentist]

thank you for making the call!

 

[Winterspring]

Anyone heard anything this week?

 

[Brightsmile140]

I just called, they said that admissions are on a rolling basis now. I asked if her if the committee would be meeting again and she said yes but didn’t tell me when.

 

[Winterspring]

Does that mean that they sent out a second round of acceptances, or have they still not met yet?

 

[Brightsmile140]

I’m not sure. I was wondering the same thing. She didn’t really give me a clear answer

[Bulldogz13]

I’m not sure. I was wondering the same thing. She didn’t really give me a clear answer

to me, rolling admission means that they continue to look at applications whenever they meet for whoever has interviewed and they can still send out more interviews each time they review the applications. Sounds like they have not met to review the applicants that have interviewed already in order to decide if they want to send out more acceptances. Wonder what is taking them this long?

 

[wedabros]

Ugh, I wanna cry lol. I wish they would just send out the second round already. ((((

 

[RYost234]

Does that mean that they sent out a second round of acceptances, or have they still not met yet?

Doubtful, people will post here saying they've been accepted when they get the news

 

[ToofHurty27p]

Have you guys all interviewed??

 

[Brightsmile140]

I did in September

Have you guys all interviewed??

 

[Bulldogz13]

Have you guys all interviewed??

I did on October 7th and didn't even take the DAT at that time. Everything went well but surprised I didn't hear from them yet.

 

[deleted904921]

[truffles101]

Congratulations! How did they inform you via call or email?

Accepted today. Interviewed back in spet

 

[Brightsmile140]

Anyone have any idea on how many spots are still open?

 

[Brightsmile140]

Thank you!

Seems like the fb group is about 43 members now

 

[RYost234]

Is that an accurate number though? If you look at the class of 2021-2023 pages they all have over 100 members

 

[Bulldogz13]

I don't think the fb groups reflect the accurate number bc for UIC, there are at least six people that have chosen to go to another school, or are current UIC students that joined the group just to answer the questions we may have.

 

[Winterspring]

Do you have a link for the UIC group?

It would seem kind of odd to only have 7 spots left in early February but what do I know

At least 6 of those members are definitely current students

Recently as in this month?

 

[Milkteeth12]

Recently as in this month?

Yep!

 

[RYost234]

Whenever I see an email notification I get so excited, but it always turns out to be from H&M or Kohls

 

[DK2]

Did anyone who interviewed in January hear anything back yet?

 

[Bulldogz13]

Did anyone who interviewed in January hear anything back yet?

you gotta wait your turn, us people who interviewed in October are still waiting LOL

 

[Brightsmile140]

Lol I interviewed in September and still haven’t heard anything

you gotta wait your turn, us people who interviewed in October are still waiting LOL

 

[RYost234]

When was their class full last cycle?

 

[KevinDurant7]

Interviewed in January got accepted early February. Turned down my offer today. Hope one of y’all get the blessing

 

[Brightsmile140]

Anyone know when more acceptances will go out? My next deposit is due for my other school and I’m just getting anxious

 

[Noname96]

I feel like Siu gives out acceptances pretty randomly. I doubt anyone knows an exact time period.

Things are a little different this cycle for some reason. I don't think anyone has an accurate timeline for when acceptances may be sent out. According to last year's SDN thread, the second wave of acceptances should have been sent out a while ago. It's unfortunate, but it is what it is. If I was in your position, I would pay your deposit because you don't want to risk losing a seat at an accepted school. Best of luck to you all and stay patient.

I'm pretty sure there have been more than one round of acceptances already, as the user above mentioned he got accepted in early February. Also there's quite a large number of people in the 2024 fb page and only a handful are current students in it
