Wtf Uic

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Per status page, I have been offered a UIC-Chicago campus interview for 6/11. That was the only date and campus offered. There are 16 open slots.

Remember the end of March when a number of us got that message from the dean saying our files had not yet been reviewed, but since we submitted before the deadline they were committed to reading them? (I was complete Nov 15.) Anyone else with a beyond-belief-late interview offer?

This is awesome! An interview in June! Wish you the best Mobius1985. Get yourself a good breakfast and a tall cup of coffee. The Peoria campus had niether!

Other than that, know your vita and what you put on your AMCAS and you'll do fine. :luck: :luck: :luck:

lol that's great.. damn uic just accept me already?!
 
16 interview slots or 16 slots in the class? Did they give you any info about the class being filled up, etc? Good Luck! :laugh:
The status page says there are 16 interview slots (eight morning and eight afternoon) for that date (and it's the only date offered). I expect this means the class is not yet filled up, but I have no other specific information.

Congrats, Mobius1985!

I have yet to hear from UIC and I interviewed back in December. I received an email stating that they reserve the right to withold all final decisions until June 1st. To me, this meant that UIC was going to make all final decisions on all applicants by June 1st. I was just a bit confused as to how they can still be interviewing after June 1st if they want to give out final decisions by June 1st.

Again, congrats Mobius 1985!

My previous information was that May 11 was the last interview date. I had given up any hope of an interview. I am confused, too. I have seen nothing on this forum about anyone at any school having a June interview date. When I call to confirm the date and time, maybe they'll say it was all a mistake.

Maybe "a final decision" on June 1 means they will assign you to a wait list or reject you, not necessarily that you would be admitted or rejected.

Thanks to everyone for the good wishes. I'm still stunned from this news. Miracles do happen!
 
So who's calling tomorrow? 🙂 Is the committee meeting tomorrow?
 
OK, so what does it mean when you have interviewed, been waitlisted, and your status said "applicant in process" forever, and now suddenly it says "application is in process?"

Were you waitlisted at UIC? If so, did you receive an email or snail mail? When did you interview?
 
Yes; I interviewed in Jan. and was told by phone that I was waitlisted. It changed from application is in process to applicant in process shortly before the interview, and then today I noticed it has changed back to application in process.😕
 
The committee is supposed to be meeting today...is anyone else excited?? 😀

Good luck to all!!:luck:

Excited? Hmm, more like indifferent. They've just toyed with my emotions for too long. 🙁

But, for all of you who are still optimistically excited- :luck:

Yeah, I know what you mean about toying with emotions...but I have to still keep hoping 🙂 If I get an acceptance from UIC, I will be happy beyond words!

I'm hoping for you too, Beaner...🙂

Has anyone called yet today?
 
I called and no decision was made on my file. Very sad. They said that my file wouldn't be reviewed until the next meeting in June.

End of june? I thought, end of may was the last time the committee was going to meet? Can I ask, when did you interview?

Also, if the committee met today, how can they tell you so quickly, unless the person you talked to is on the admissions committee? anyway, hang in there...

Believe or not, I interviewed last week. I was told that it was the last scheduled interview. We were told that the committee was meeting at the end of May and that we should have a decision at the end of May or at the very latest in the first week of June.

First I was told my file is being reviewed. I then asked if my file had been reviewed since my interview and I was told that they had already reviewed it and made no decision. I was then told that my file would go to the next meeting in June and that I would hear back after that.
I'm hanging in there. . . by a thread!
 
I also thought that the last committee meeting was today, especially since they communicated to me via email that the committee reserves the right to make all final decisions until June 1st. Maybe I misunderstood something, since it seems that there will be a committee meeting in June! In any case, I hope my file was reviewed today and that I'll hear a decision in the next few weeks or so.

Good luck to all!!:luck:

no kidding. i think i'd definitely rather be rejected now than spend another month in limbo, waiting for 3 spots to open for hundreds of applicants.
 
There has to be more committe meetings doesnt there? Some people will find out if they got in or not during this meeting i guess, and others will be placed on the waitlist.
pending how they rank the waitlist (or maybe its unranked), maybe in June they take a look at the waitlist and pulls kids off from there?

mdapp06 when did you get that email?
 
Did anyone send an LOI and if so, where did you send it (to the committee or the dean) and how did you send it (snail mail or email)?
 
I just checked my status and it changed from applicant in process to 'Decision Pending'
Does that mean anything?

so usually for the past few months decisions were made on mondays and the online system was not updated until then either? but this time it seems that they have updated today; friday?

Did anyone receive the 'a final dec. has been made on xx/xx/2007 please allow 2 weeks for correspondence etc' ? If they updated the files today; then many people are bound to.
 
Mine is still decision pending.
 
Playmesomemusic did you call yesterday?
 
yea this may be. but mine changed to decision pending today. but i guess i shouldn't freak out as much and just wait until monday. well thats a bit of relief i guess.
 
I'm still Decision Pending too...I hope we all get good news soon!

Hey does anyone have an email address to anyone in the admissions office, such as an admissions councelor? I lost the sheet they gave us at the interview. Thanks alot..you can PM it to me if you like. Thanks again.

Last month they didn't update until the Wed. after the meeting. On another note, I will be withdrawing Tuesday unless my campus is switched to Chicago (doubtful). I was just accepted off of a waitlist elsewhere. That's one more spot! I hope it goes to one of you!:luck:

Best of luck to you. Which campus did you have? As a Rockford alumni now finishing a residency at Mayo (along with another 3 of my medical school classmates and another 3 from the year behind me), I not sure that UNMC has a "better" program with regards to the match...

Oh well. Enjoy it wherever you go - time really flies by!

Good to know. Thank you.
 
Not many people are into this thread I guess.

Well I still have no status change but I do know of a person whos status did change; reportedly on Mon. night. So yeah.

please post peeps
 
i got a status change today to "A final decision was made on your application on . Please allow two-weeks to receive the correspondence in the mail. If you do not receive this correspondence in two-weeks, please contact the Admissions Office. No decision will be given over the telephone."

I hope to GOD this is good news like normal, but given that they said that they reserve the right to hold all final decisions till june 1st, I think this month might be an exception? we'll see, I guess.

I received the same status change today...after months of being in the "Decision Pending" category, it is nice to see a status change. I also hope that this is good news:luck::luck:

good luck to everyone!!:luck:

talk about breaking our hearts if they change the status like this just to reject us post-interview.
 
I didn't get anything in the mail today...I guess the mail must be a bit delayed because of the Memorial Day holiday.

Good luck to all!:luck:

withdrawing from uic, hopefully someone here gets my spot :luck:
 
Does anyone know if there are still spots open in the Chicago campus?
 
Anyone else not get a status change? I guess there's still hope for the June meeting. Anyone planning to call the office tomorrow?
 
Does anyone know if there are still spots open in the Chicago campus?

No, there's a small chance of getting transferred later in the summer, but you'll initially be assigned to one of the other campuses. I sent my withdrawal today for this reason.
