Don't know the exact likelihood but I know I got off DD to an A and others have as well. But I interviewed in sept, DD'd in oct, and A'd in Jan.. not sure how it will go for this part of the cycle. Wishing you luckWhat are the chances of getting off the DD list?
at the interview, they said 80% of those interviewed get in so I'm assuming people on DD have a pretty good chance of getting in (correct me if i am wrong). Also, in previous years it seems they accepted way too many people right off the bat and too many people accepted their offer. I think therefore they put more people on DD than in previous years.What are the chances of getting off the DD list?
When did you get accepted vs getting your campus assignment? Trying to figure out about how long that takes..Hello, accepted OOS (2/19/22) to Chicago!!! 🙌
Was hoping someone could give insight into best off-campus housing options. I’m considering Atrio vs SCIO
Why those? if I may askHello, accepted OOS (2/19/22) to Chicago!!! 🙌

Apologies if this has been posted before, but do you get an email when your campus is assigned or is it just a portal update?
I think it will still hold and it's even higher - even this year they showed a graph with ~600 acceptances and ~750 interviews, to ensure everybody that the acceptance rate is high. There are STILL interviews as some people are just getting decisions regarding SPP.what happened to that 80% post II acceptance rate i saw on reddit last year :'( hopefully good news today
I believe they send the data once per day at midnight since all of them seem to say "12:00 AM EST" as the time in CYMS.How long does it take for acceptance to show up on AMCAS tool?
ClosestWhy those? if I may ask
Do you mean they've already accepted 600 people?I didn't get an e-mail from the portal but the portal now says "We are excited to notify you that your campus assignment has been determined as Chicago." for me. This just changed after I was pulled from the waitlist for the IMED program
Now the fun of searching for an apartment in Chicago begins

No I think it was from last cycle.Do you mean they've already accepted 600 people?
me lol...Anyone else not happy about their campus placement

Just a PSA to others, since I posted here last week regarding confusion over lack of financial aid at this school and was considering withdrawing since I was only offered loans.
Yesterday, I received an email with a scholarship notification, despite my original package showing nothing but loans. Just wanted to share so that anyone else disappointed in their aid and/or considering withdrawing could hold off since a scholarship might be coming their way. I'll still be withdrawing, so, hopefully, mine gets redistributed and one of you gets blessed over these next couple of weeks!
I'm also assigned to Chicago, so maybe a spot opens up for one of you Chicago hopefuls!!!
I did notDid you contact them at all about financial aid before they sent the scholarship?
Same here! I'm planning on withdrawing if I can't be in Chicago which is such a bummer because this was my first choice. I read we will not hear back about appeals until after the April 30 deadline which seems very risky to me. I wouldn't want to commit to going here without knowing for sure if I will be on the Chicago campus. Did you write about any extenuating circumstances that would restrict you being elsewhere?me lol...
I was placed in Rockford but I mostly talked about the opportunities and working in hospitals in Chicago.
super surprised (and honestly pretty sad) that I wasn't placed there.
gonna do the appeal form asap
edit: interviewed in oct; dd and then a in january
Oh no no, previous cycle stats. They don't publish live data from the current cycle afaik.Do you mean they've already accepted 600 people?
I've got even a weirder case: I have their NetID number (from fin-aid email) but I cannot login as I don't have the password nor I can reset it... does it mean I have to wait for some activation email?Guys, anyone knows when we receive our UID for login? I am assigned a campus on the portal. but no email about ID or financial aid, or anything ...
I mean, why did you rank Chicago #1? Maybe you have family or connections there, or are intrigued by the opportunities available at that campus, or just want the city life. Maybe your spouse has a career path that only works well in highly urban areas, and if they were to move with you, they would need to be in that city. Obviously, not everyone gets their #1 choice all the time so it is what it is, and when you have other school choices available then you get to pick.So maybe a naive question but why so many people don't want to go to Peoria or Rockford? From their video they look like good and cozy campuses
Personally I ranked Chicago first only because of IMED - if not that I would prefer a more rural campus. While I never lived in an highly urban area I used to work in an urban area. The prices for everything are much much higher so it's way harder to live in Chicago for people without external financial backing.I mean, why did you rank Chicago #1?
This is a good point. Looking at their materials however it seems that they're trying to equalize opportunities, even if satellite campuses have less physical resources. How it is in practice we cannot tell before actually being there. With the current gas prices driving 3h is hard to swallow.Personally, I'll be happy with Rockford if my appeal is denied; I was incredibly close to not going to med school at all, and I have no doubt that I'll receive opportunity to excel. That being said, there are several faculty members at the Chicago campus in the area of medicine I am interested in that will be slightly more difficult to meet with being at Rockford. This is magnified by the lack of that particular department at the Rockford campus.
If I can still work with those faculty while my primary study happens at the Rockford campus I would be far less worried, but it will still be difficult to drive 3hrs round trip + pay for gas to work with them.
I think the last one is this month according to their interview information on their website. They state at April 30th the DD will move to waitlist so I think we have one more shot at least :/ maybe they will review more than once a month next month hopefullyDoes anyone know if UICOM still has an adcom meeting for this cycle? Just wondering if people on DD will automatically go on the waitlist
Yeah, I said the same. I don’t think they offer outright need based aid. I think one or two of their scholarships might take into account disadvantaged status, however. As I posted about earlier in the thread, I was offered a scholarship about a week after my original aid package only being loans… hopefully the same transpires for you! Good luck!Just got financial aid.... $80,000 in loans. No thank you. Really disappointed in the little financial support from this school.
Did yall get an email? How do you check?Just got financial aid.... $80,000 in loans. No thank you. Really disappointed in the little financial support from this school.
After you get an email with NetID activation you can log-in to MyUIC and and go to Student [top menu] => [scroll down] Financial Aid Status Menu => Financial Aid Summary => 2022/23. The activation email should arrive from medadmit email and will have subject "UIC Student Account Activation Process", so it may land in spam.Did yall get an email? How do you check?
So, I got my email about my FAFSA being processed and misinterpreted that as my aid package having been ready. Since I hadn't yet gotten my log-in credentials, I submitted a help request ticket to get my UIN and the token that allows you to log in. Once I logged in, I found my package wasn't yet available; there were no numbers, and I also had the "Student Financial Aid and Scholarships (SFAS) has received your 2022-2023 FAFSA, but did not issue a financial aid notification."After you get an email with NetID activation you can log-in to MyUIC and and go to Student [top menu] => [scroll down] Financial Aid Status Menu => Financial Aid Summary => 2022/23.

However, I think not everything is posted to newly created accounts since entering "Financial Aid Notification" instead of "Financial Aid Summary" shows "Student Financial Aid and Scholarships (SFAS) has received your 2022-2023 FAFSA, but did not issue a financial aid notification.". According to their FAQ it may take some time. How I see it accounts and loans are created semi-automatically and information is based on just FAFSA, while any schoolarships are pending manual review and we need to wait for that SFAS notification.
Can someone confirm or correct that? @JohnJacobJingleheimer - do you see anything in the "Financial Aid Notification" section?
