2013-2014 University of Illinois Application Thread

[Badger0]

Being OOS, I went to Second look day and really enjoyed it.
They went through the entire curriculum, research opportunities, student life, scholarships, etc.
Had the opportunity to speak with M1 students at lunch and during tours, who were all very awesome, helpful, and insightful.
They are renovating the M1 classrooms and group spaces over the summer, and hopefully we'll be the first to be able to use those in the fall!

Hey all,

Glad to here about all these acceptances! I was wondering if there was anyone here who applied to the MSP program and has heard back (Yes or no) yet? I was accepted to their bioengineering Phd program with a lab position lined up, and I have done the MSP interview day, but no response yet! The wait and lack of communication is killing me.

Anyone know anything about this or in a similar situation?

 

[xfiretampa]

Any one who was accepted earlier this month get the email about what site they are placed in?
Got my letter on April 4th.
Submitted preference card on the 7th

not yet-

anyone know where the immunization stuff is on the uic admissions website?

 

[Bgkasia]

Does anyone who had a UMed interview remember them telling us when we should expect to find out whether or not they accepted us into the program?

 

[Bgkasia]

anyone know where the immunization stuff is on the uic admissions website?

Here's a link to the page where they discuss the immunization requirement: http://medicine.uic.edu/cms/One.aspx?portalId=443021&pageId=19888504
There are links to Chicago's and Urbana's requirements at the bottom of the page under Additional Admissions/Matriculation Requirements.

Damn, that sucks. I submitted my preference card a couple days after you. Now, i'm kind of nervous to find out what track i'll get assigned too

 

[Pedro Pan]

Did u apply for umed or gmed?

 

[apate232]

Did u apply for umed or gmed?

I didn't mainly because I would have been applying only to be placed in chicago and didn't want to compete for a spot that could go to someone who really actually wanted it. What about you?

I did apply to gmed. So there is still a chance... I wonder if that affected the decision making process... Either way I am very fortunate to be in this position

 

[Cdubz]

Third thursday...good luck yall

 

[maravilla]

i was really hoping UIC would impress me.. but i interviewed at Rockford and didn't get the best vibe from the school there:\ i got placed in Chicago and couldnt afford going to second look so the only impression i got was from rockford back at my interview.. so i decided against attending UIC. it seems like a great school but i'm withdrawing my acceptance soon. good luck to everyone!

 

[Youknowgo]

I was scheduled a GMED interview for next Friday (all interviews wILl take place on that date)

 

[sunnycal]

Third thursday...good luck yall

Does anyone know if meeting held on Thursday 4/17? Has anyone's status changed? Mine still decision pending.

[Fabmedaerial]

[K T]

Got placed in UPR Peoria. Found out today via email. It was my 3rd choice.

 

[apate232]

Anyone know if campus assignments can be switched? I live in the Chicago suburbs and prefer to stay near my family b/c it would help financially. Is that a valid reason to request an appeal?

 

[XCTF518]

I think it is August 15th at 2:00pm

Where did you hear this?

 

[nephron19]

Withdrew last week. Hopefully it goes to someone off the waitlist/hoping to get moved to the Chicago campus.

 

[ChiTownPreMed]

Where did you hear this?

It's on their website.

Third thursday...good luck yall

Anyone received update/change in status?

 

[foolofatook]

Anyone received update/change in status?

No updates. Last month they didn't meet until the fourth Thursday. Might be they are waiting again.

 

[Patrick33]

UMED rejection pre-II, said spots are full...nervous the big rejection is imminent. Any status changes? Really really bummed. Felt like this program was made for me!

Interview spots are full. I figured they finished those after April 11th round but what do I know!

 

[apate232]

anyone looking to get an apartment on urbana campus for M1 year, pm me!

 

[red_stilettos]

Just got placed at Peoria! Excited to meet you all in August

I know one guy who was able to get his assigned campus switched (Rockford to Chicago) last year. His mom has health issues and besides him, there's only his younger sister to help look after her. I don't know what they would consider a valid reason, but it doesn't hurt to try. If you do, I hope it works out but if not at least you'll be in state.

 

[Cdubz]

Any updates today?

 

[ModernDoc]

Any updates today?

Nothing here yet.. :/

 

[chocogramcracka]

Also, I just called the office: there is an adcom meeting this month but she told me that, "they don't tell us when they're meeting" so there could be another round of acceptances in the coming weeks. Fingers crossed.

I hope they did meet this month. Any status updates?

Badge0 or any other OOS person: I've been trying to figure out online what the total COA will be for OOS. I did the calculations a few weeks ago and got in the 70k range even without housing? Did I do it incorrectly? Also, does UIC offer in-state tuition for years 2-4 or no? Sorry I'm sure I could figure this out if I searched around enough but figured someone here may have already done it. Appreciate the help SDN...

 

[Pedro Pan]

The cost of tuition
http://www.medicine.uic.edu/UserFil...e/Financial_Aid/1415/1415_COA_Chicago_Est.pdf

I am not an Illinois resident. How can I become a resident for tuition purposes?
If you are a dependent: Your family must live in or move to Illinois. The in-state tuition rate would begin at the start of the next term.
If you are not a dependent: You must live in Illinois for one full year for non-educational purposes. This means you may not attend school for the year you are establishing residency.

i hope this helps

i know some people defer for a year, find work for a year like teach the princeton review classes
