I got this:
A final decision was made on your application on 05-30-08. Please allow two-weeks to receive the correspondence in the mail. If you do not receive this correspondence in two-weeks, please contact the Admissions Office. No decision will be given over the telephone.
so its with a date, could that be good?

No idea. Like I said several posts above, I don't think it's a common enough thing for "with a date" or "without a date" to definitely mean anything. Last year, my rejection had a status change that didn't have a date. Has anybody gotten a change without a date now that mine changed to inculde 5/30/08? Anybody else remaining decision pending...
I gotta get to work...I'm sure you folks will distract me again in a few though...

You guys think they accepted, rejected and waitlisted ppl yesterday? or just rejected and waitlisted?
waitlisted.
It's confusing that some people actually have "applicant is waitlisted" on their status while others still have "decision pending." Last year from my understanding it just stayed "decision pending" for most people who were waitlisted...I have no idea what that means that there's both groups now.
I think they accepted some people yesterday, made a waitlist, and rejected the remainder. This is their first meeting since the May 15th deadline, and while they traditionally]overaccept which makes acceptances around this time sparse, I'd think they at least make a few admissions. If we're talking about preparing ourselves, Rabo, I'm managing my expectations to expect a rejection letter--but I'm not letting myself despair over rejection yet.
Edit: I just called and asked if there were any acceptances made in yesterday's committee meeting and was told "Uhh I believe some letters [of acceptance] will go out today." So there you have it.
Im kinda doing the same thing, trying to expect a rejection letter and you never know maybe it will be the big letter.

a final decision was made on 05/30/08...hoping for the best, expecting the worst. good luck everyone!
Agreed...I remembered somebody was rejected back in february for some odd reason...on page 24 RP218 or something got a status change with a date and was rejected. Then back in April somebody got a status change without a date and was rejected. Seems like everybody has a date associated with their status changes today, so I really don't think that has anything to do with anything (but if we're all accepted, PARTY at my place 😛)
I ended up waitlisted.
I didn't get a status change but I did recieve a phone call saying that I did not get accepted. However, they did offer me an acceptance to their post bacc program in chicago. They told me that I would be offered an automatic acceptance to their 2009 entering class as long as I maintained a 3.0 GPA during the post bac. I thanked them for the offer but turned it down because I got an acceptance to an M.D program elsewhere.
Everyone so far has a date so we'll see

First post for me here.
I just switched from a "decision pending" to"applicant is wait listed". I will most likely give it a week or two of still considering UIC but if not I will be withdrawing my application. I am already accepted somewhere I like more because they talked about how they train you to be a good doctor versus gabbing about scores and residency placement. I just feel I shouldn't make other people sweat it out if my mind is made up.

I called the admission office and he said the waitlist has less than 100 students. There is a letter being sent out to the waitlisted students either tomorrow (6/3), or it has been sent last Friday (5/31). And it would tell you which quartile you are in. 😉
GOOD LUCK!

I guess thats kind of good news, seeing how somewhere in this thread someone said they took 50 off the waitlist last year.😳
Maybe they enjoy driving us crazy?
first quartile as well!
if Parfee (with a great GPA and MCAT score) is getting waitlisted....
then is it safe to think that most of us with low 30 mcat scores are likely going to get rejection letters?
It seems like UIC is quickly contacting their waitlists and postbaccs, but sending out letters to those rejected..
I'd like to believe there were spots open for acceptances, but I'm starting to think that those spots were given to applicants with freakishly high scores...am i being unrealistically pessimistic or reasonable?

I got a 33 on the MCAT with a 3.48 GPA, and I landed in the 1st quartile on the wait list, just to give you another comparison.
Hi,
I'm not sure where you got my stats from, but my GPA is no where near "great"! So my GPA is 3.4 and MCAT 33Q. I think there are still some chance. Maybe they are still waiting people who recently got off the waitlists at other schools to see how many more seat they can offer.
Hang in there!
Got my rejection letter yesterday 🙁 I was expecting it though, especially with my not-so-hot MCAT score and my late interview. Luckily, I have a great school to go to that I actually liked more than UIC after I had been to both interviews.
Congrats to everyone who got accepted!

1st quartile at UIC. Letter arrived in Miami today. 😳
