any UIC students that can comment on the interviews, campus, or overall process? I was browsing 2016-7 and it looks like the portal system is kind of difficult to understand (there was like a flowchart lol). The system almost seems different, I am wondering if it is?

What are the interviews like?

How do we check the status for our application once we have submitted the secondary? It just says that it has been submitted.
 
Rejected just now. IS. Found out by email.
 
sorry to hear. When were you complete?
Received the secondary on 7/12 and was complete on 7/25. I have to wonder if it was Casper that hurt me, as I've already interviewed at another school in-state. Best of luck to the rest of you!

I'm sorry to hear that. Do you mind me asking when you took CASPER? I'm also worried about CASPER; I haven't heard back from any of the schools my CASPER schools (NYMC, Tulane, U of I).

That has been my status for about a month... starting to worry!
 
I just checked my status, states a final decision has been made on my application and that they sent an email,
I did not get an email at all. However, I'm guessing it's a rejection as others stated their portals said they recieved an interview!

Stupid question, but what is the portal? It is the same page where we submitted our secondary? All I see is "Supplemental Application Status."

EDIT: found the correct url in my email :)

I think they review in batches. URM, High stat people go first, then others. I wouldn't worry too much.

Hey guys,

I called on Tuesday (9/12) because the portal said my letters were under review to ensure they met the requirements (but I had a committee letter and that was the status for over a week....) and the woman on the phone was super nice and told me they were just really backed up, but then had my application sent to the screening committee right then and there! My status is now "Under consideration by the screening committee" - how long was that the status before you guys saw any updates?

Thanks! Best of luck to everyone!
