Does any have any opinions as to whether or not choosing consideration at BOTH Rockford and Chicago campuses would make you a less desirable applicant?
Looks like it says that you are not considered to put on a waitlist/alternate list if you do choose this option. So a second thing to consider, does anyone think that choosing this option would decrease your chances of getting in?
Hi, so I am a P1 at UIC COP Chicago campus class of 2016. I just wanted to shed some light on the process. So when I applied, I chose the Chicago campus because that was the one I was most interested in and Rockford was far away for me.
It does not make you any less desirable to choose one campus over another. Also if you choose both campuses, then your odds are BETTER that you will be offered a spot at either campus; however, due to the large waitlists there are more people that give up their offers for rockford campus earlier on than people that give up their seats for chicago meaning the rockford waitlist moves a lot faster. If you pick both campuses, you will receive a different number for the waitlist for each campus the trend is you are higher up on the Rockford list than the Chicago list. Also if you are offered a spot at rockford and you deny it, then you will NOT get an offer for the chicago campus and vice versa. You basically get an offer for only one campus. I dont know if there is a system as to who they choose to put where, but yeah.
There is a 2016 thread on this website, which is probably a good source to go through and it will answer most of your questions about the process.
Also if you're stats are not exactly what UIC "requires" don't get discouraged because they are very flexible, they look at the individual overall to make sure you are well rounded.
In terms of the timeline of this process:
November 11th - my file was marked complete and review was pending
December 12th - I received my invitation for an interview and you schedule your interview for a time and day that best works for you.
January 18th - I had my interview, I scheduled my interview a month after the invitation because I had decided to retake the January PCATs in case UIC wanted a better score.
January 23rd - I received my acceptance offer via email (so check you junk mail also!). Normally it takes longer to hear back because people that scheduled their interviews early January didn't hear back until the 23rd because that was when the committee met to decide who would be accepted from the first round of interviews.
Then you just pay your deposit and if you are taking classes make sure to keep ur grades up and you are in!
Feel free to ask me any questions, I'll be glad to answer them! I know it was one of the most stressful times in my life.
) took gen bio at her school and it was only 4 hrs. So short story long, what other classes satisfy the gen bio requirement? Pharmcas has nothing about it, and I'd prefer not bother the receptionists about it.
