congrats again to everyone! just to give you a heads up... some things may get confusing in the beginning when you start going to orientation and get your paperwork in order (drug test, background check, immunizations). one thing, you guys and girls should maybe start getting your vaccines up-to-date.
something i learned from last year, UIC COP (college of pharmacy) has slightly different requirements than UIC Office of Admissions (who takes care of the whole UIC system). i think (i might be wrong on some of this), but UIC COP required one of the Hepatitis vaccines, and to prove immunity (since we are in a health professional school), and I think the Office of Admissions for UIC required polio (where COP did not). In either case, I ended up getting everything done, so that there would be no oversight. The Hep vaccine you may want to start right away, because one of them is a 3-stepper. You have to come back in a few months for booster shots. It was only last year, but I forget which one it was! =)
And... make sure you photocopy and file away everything submitted to school. This is to make it easier for the school and yourself. Never know what may happen (we did have a fire this past year, after all), and it may be better to have everything with you... so that if something happens you have a back-up.
Sorry, I'm writing this after pulling an all-nighter for an exam, so my writing may not be coherent.
Please ask if you have any questions. I'll try to help. =)
Looks like I'll be checking my email compulsively starting now. Definitely sounds like just a rumor to me, but it'll add some excitement to the coming days. I sincerely doubt that they'll send any emails tonight though.
Those five seconds were pretty intense though.
