Hey guys,
Could you please tell me if we need to be permanent residents(Green card holders) to be able to apply to the UIC program?

hello there,
yes you definitely need US citizenship/permanent residency or GC to apply to UIC.
 
I read in their website that you have to submit the photocopy of your green card.Lets see what others say.
 
yes..u do need to have the green card or citizenship to apply. They need the front and back photocopy of the greeen-card to apply.
Good luck👍

Thanks Dental bug..can't wait to start in may either!🙂

Thank you Colorpurple. I have EAD(employment authorization document).
I don't need a visa sponsor. Am I eligible to apply?

Hello pandu, EAD is different from the green card. you can get your EAD while waiting for the green card. are you here in the states for work? or you are here for residency? if you are here for work that means you have a working visa and working visa is different from green card. if you are here for residency, then wait first till you get your green card before you apply. it usually takes a couple of months from the time you get your EAD to the time you get your green card. and the EAD card only has one year validity (meaning it will expire after one yr).
anyway, i hope i answered your question accurately.🙂
 
hey guys can anyone of u tell me the number of students with just part 1 in ur class
 
I am also in the class that starts in may. I would like to be part of the google group. My gmail is nlrhodge@gmail!

for polio you will have to have the shot again, but for the Hep B ask only for a blood titer and you'll know if you have to take another dose or not;
 
last year Jill made a group on facebook.com so we could know each other; since she's not at UIC right now, and i don't know if braulia is doing it for you, you can make your own group and if you're looking for our class, IDP 2010, you may get to know us before May;
another thing, try to be familiar with Axium:"AxiUm is a dental school clinic management program designed to support a paperless environment. It reduces the number of software applications operating in different areas of our dental school while combining information from multiple databases into one, easily accessible operation"- you can just google it and you'll find some good info..
and collect as many teeth as possible👍
good luck gals and guys!
 
Hey,
Thanks starrynight for the info. We have a google group of our IDP 2011 going on now. Can't wait to meet all of you helpful guys then🙂

Acrylic,
We know 16 classmates as of now..out of which I think 3 are with only part-1. Good luck!!👍

Hi starry night
Just a couple of questions

Do we need a laptop for school,i mean is it mandatory to have one?Do we have online study material or can we do without laptop?
Do we have to buy our own set of materials for preclinical exercises,like endo hand and rotary files or does the school provide them?If you could please provide some useful information about all this?

thank You

hello there,
the laptop is not mandatory, as far as i know; still all our lectures, assignament and lots of useful stuff can be found online, so you need a laptop/computer at home..at school there's a comp lab, where you can work while in school; plus our lab has about 8 laptops too..we didn't use them that much, but maybe you will;
all the instrum will be lended to you, you will pay a lease fee and will have everything you will need to work in the clinics or lab;
take care,
 
Hi Starry nite
Thank you very much for your quick response.Really excited about joining the school and meeting all of you there.

Hi Starry nite
Would u know from yourself or any of your colleagues how much personal loans can we get,It will help to decide about the budget for the housing.
Also does anyone of you lives in SSR.Can you comment about it please.


Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

hello there,
when they calculate the loan that they will offer you, they include housing and personal expenses..i remember for the summer semester(19 may - 9 aug) we received as money back from the loan around 4,500..for living expenses and everything else..i don't know if you can ask for more or not...i reduced the loan, so i don't have more current data..
and i don't know what SSR means😀
see you soon,
 
SSR means Single Student Residence. I believe we have one person that may live there.

Goodluck
