Is anyone applying to UIC (University of IL at Chicago)??
I got an acceptance email yesterday for the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences program.Still waiting for a reply :-/
The application deadline is Feb. 1st, so maybe we'll start hearing something after the 1st... has anyone else heard anything?
Incomplete-outstanding item = what does this mean? Does this mean an item is missing for my application or they still haven't reviewed my application...confused :/
Thanks guys! Also, just a question... I heard a few things about armed robberies close to the med center and Rush. Does anybody know about safety on campus and the surrounding areas and where is the best place to live?
The blue line will get you to the med district but that's a bit of a hike to the UIC SPH buildings. Best bet is to use the Polk stop on the pink line as your home CTA stop.
True, but where would you suggest someone lives on the Pink Line? Lawndale is not a safe neighborhood.
I guess you could take a different line and switch to the Pink in the Loop, though switching is always annoying. But either way, this is part of the reason I suggested living near Ashland so you can take the number 9 bus down it and it will drop you right next to the SPH building. If I end up at UIC, I'm considering even living up in Lakeview near Ashland and taking the bus down, though it will likely take about 45 minutes.
Yeah I guess it depends on how much of a commute you can tolerate. There are nice/safe places to live just east of campus around the Taylor/Ashland area. As mentioned above anything southwest of the campus is sketchy. Bucktown seems like a cool area to live for young professionals that's still easy to commute from.
sureI can look it over pillowface if you would like
Hey All!
I received an email confirmation from Yale, UMN and Mich on my app. UIC is the only school who has not confirmed my app. Have you all received an email from UIC confirming that your application is complete?
Hopefully another week for me too! Thanks for all the help Truelotus...just concerned about safety because I heard its a pretty huge problem around the UIC campus and I want to be somewhere close enough but SUPER SAFE. Safety is def #1 for me and I def want somewhere nice where its safe.
Any other updates about places to live and safety in general?
Just heard back from UIC today with good news! Thought they were going to be super late and they are the first to get back to me of all my schools.
Unknown to me I the web portal stated I have incomplete items, but I have no idea what they even are.
Just got in today toooo!
Still waiting on UIC HPM too...I am tempted to call and ask if we can expect to hear by end of week.
