If it still says Decision Pending, does that mean I am on the waitlist?
Still Decision Pending....... 🙁
does it seem like they waitlisted more people than usual this time?
Maybe a little but not really. I think the March decision was pretty brutal last time as well--the class is just full it seems. Oh well--looks like CCOM for me--not too bad a fate!![]()
It's been cool going through the process with most of you--we'll go through this again in April and then there'll be the May 15th deadline. A few weeks after that last year (around June 1st) they cut down the 25% of people who weren't accepted post-interview into a manageable waitlist--at this point if you get the "A decision has been made on" change, it's not necessarily a good thing (I would even go as far to say that if you get that change around that time, it's probably not a good thing). Those who aren't rejected at that point will receive notification that they're on a waitlist.
Good luck to everybody still in the process (especially if you have no other acceptances). And if you have to reapply, might I humbly suggest to apply to a few DO schools--I always told myself that I would never do that, but was convinced by my parents to give it a try early this year, and am very happy I ended up doing it.
I got this email yesterday (interviewed early 2008, wasn't accepted):
Dear 2008 UIC Medical School Applicant:
The Committee on Admissions of the UIC College of Medicine reviewed your application for the month of March. We wish to advise you that no final decision has been reached on your application, but that you are still under consideration. The "Wait List" has not yet been complied.
Please note that the Committee reserves the right to withhold all final decisions until June 1st. You will receive another email later in the year to update you of your status in the process.
We ask that you notify us of mailing address or phone number changes so we may communicate promptly with you.
Could someone tell me how long it took for them to get their campus assignment in the mail? I got my letter and sent out my ranking card on the same day, which was 2 weeks ago. So just curious about when I might get it back 🙂
