I've got an interview coming up at UIC, and I'm looking for some pros (and cons, if you like) of the school. What are some reasons I might go there instead of other Chicago schools?
Thanks!

does UIC really have a systems based curriculum?? that's not really what I got out of their curriculum presentation. i thought it was traditional, like biochem for a block, anatomy for a block, physiology for a block, etc . . .
to an above poster, i think uic does shine out in its diversity of students (last time i checked the aamc med school guide, uic was waay more racially/ethnically diverse than uchicago, loyola, and nu), diversity of pathology (you will see a lot more pathology at uic than other chicago hospitals - this according to not just uic ppl but also friends in other area med schools who have done electives at uic), and in my opinion, stronger clinical training (more autonomy than other schools in patient care). of course there are drawbacks too.
That's per semester. Condolences to us all...Maybe I'm missing something but I went on UIC's website and under tution it has a value of $26,381 for non residents. Is that per semester? otherwise, the $50k everyone talks about for OOS isn't right.

That is insane...
So they're asking me to pay $52,000 in tuition and I probably won't even be able to go to the chicago campus?
I have a few questions about UIC (having a hard time finding basic info about curriculum on their website) - specifically the Chicago campus...
1. Do first year and second year students have patient contact opportunities?
2. How long are you in class each day (ie is it all day)? If it is all day, are the lectures engaging?
3. Is it pass fail? If not, how does grading work?
4. How do students do on the boards?
5. Do students generally speaking seem to like the school?
Thanks for help with any or all of these questions! Good luck to everyone!
opps... just thought of another question. what are the tests like (multiple choice, essay, etc)?
Thanks!!
