They are very very strict abt residency requirements because oos tuition is how they fund a lot of things unfortunately:/ you can look it up but from what I remember you have to file independently and reside in illinois for a year before matriculation for non academic reasons. Not sure what the case is for dependents whose parents are registered for illinois.
Also, sorry idk the date for rosalind franklin but I would assume it being before october since this is basically the last month for apps. If it helps I heard rotations there are no bueno lol that’s why I didn’t apply.
I’ve heard northwestern and uchi have earlier cycles but that could just be for high stats ppl? Idk tbh but I also applied to northwestern super late so I say go for it! Idk how many you’ve applied to but the cycle is such a long process, if you can I’d try to feel at peace with how many you’ve submitted so you can get a mental break. You deserve it.
