To be honest, I didn’t even know about this program, I definitely will reach out to them. Thank you very much for the information.

You did apply to UIC, but I want to make sure that if you had a choice of campuses (I'm sure you would be asked) that you are well-informed about RMED if it fits what you want to do.
