I considered applying, but when the person who I spoke to on the phone said that UIC will not give out ANY stats regarding average GPA, PCAT, etc, I got suspicious (and they were rude). They are pretty competitive, and I think they're generally regarded as one of the top 5 or 10 programs in the country. I'd say that IL residents have priority for admissions, although I'm not sure how many out of state they took. I know someone who's starting there this fall. She applied to 10 schools, and was accepted at all 10, including UIC and Purdue, among others. In the end, she chose UIC, although she's having a hard time finding housing for a "reasonable" price. I can let you know more once she starts (the 25th, I think).
