Do you know if they meant Finishing as in the last interview dates will be in February? Or the last interview invites will be sent in February and it’s possible dates will open for March? Thanks

Just another neurotic IS applicant pleading for an interview :’)

Does anyone know if the committee's monthly meeting is this upcoming Thursday 2/15? Feels early in the month but technically it is the third Thursday.

At my interview last week they said they’d be meeting on the 15th!

Does anyone know if you’ve lived in Chicago for 5+ years, if you have a good chance at being placed at the Chicago campus? Is there any clear way campus placements are done?

 

[sirjontron]

If anybody else is debating between Rush and UICOM, I’d love to chat about it so PM me

 

[moonshapedpooll]

OOS II, kind of random with no ties but ill take it lol

 

[AirFryerFan]

Did anyone feel really unsure about their interview performance but still get an acceptance?

Thought I knocked it out of the park, got DD for what it’s worth

LM? Complete date?

 

[2324applicant]

I think it’s GG time IS URM above avg gpa, lots of clinical and volunteer hours, mom went there , multiple letters of interest and nothing but silence pour one out for the in staters

 

[sirjontron]

Did anyone feel really unsure about their interview performance but still get an acceptance?

I felt really bad about some of the MMIs, did OK on the others and maybe felt really good about only 1 or 2 of em. Got the A!

 

[moonshapedpooll]

LM? Complete date?

Lm 74 complete mid July

 

[Illinois or bust]

Which campus?

 

[Illinois or bust]

Which campus?

Chicago

 

[BlanketsNPillows]

Chicago

At some point this spring they put together a spreadsheet with people seeking roommates. Most students live in Little Italy, Pilsen, Tri-Taylor, Greek Town and West Loop. Some live in South Loop/Printers Row and River North but those areas tend to be pricier. Most of my classmates live alone or with their partners/spouses. Feel free to DM me with any other questions.

 

[sirjontron]

Congrats! were you OOS or IS?

Thank you! IS, LM 69

Does anyone know when the decisions are typically posted after today's committee meets?

Been on DD since late November and the admissions office told me they would decide if I get offered an acceptance or not today.

Last year it was the Wednesday after for February

How did they tell you this? Did you call them?

 

[premed42568]

How did they tell you this? Did you call them?

Whoa! Interesting. Been on DD since December.

 

[AirFryerFan]

Whoa! Interesting. Been on DD since December.

Confused why people are shocked by this? It’s the 3rd thursday of the month, they are doing their standard committee review of everyone on DD and the candidates interviewed mid jan to mid feb. if they don’t decide to accept you, it’s just back to DD and waiting until March. Is there something different that I’m missing?

 

[Username88]

How did they tell you this? Did you call them?

Yup, I actually did last week. They asked me if I was on DD and when I was placed on it. They didn't even ask for my name. Aparrently a lot of people on DD keep calling them!

 

[SquirrellyScholar]

Happy Third Thursday to everyone, and with it the joys of steadily becoming more unhinged about possible emails

 

[SquirrellyScholar]

interesting. on the website it says the friday after the COA meeting so wouldn't decisions be released tomorrow?

Yes*

*(While that's the standard day, and is in fact their goal, the sheer bulk of students they sift through often makes them late. I'd probably estimate only half of their months actually seem to go through on Friday? That's just an estimate though.)

Been on DD two months. Just maybe, it's my time to shine this month lol.

Does anyone have any advice for the virtual interview/MMI?

 

[howsithangin]

Does anyone have any advice for the virtual interview/MMI?

For the individual interview, I'd suggest really looking over your app & experiences in addition to reviewing school mission/values/different campuses. My interviewer delved pretty deep into the things I discussed in my PS and W+A, so I would know those and be prepared for some standard interview questions too. For the MMI, just review standard questions/scenarios and practice timing. There weren't really any curveball scenarios in the MMI in my opinion.

[dotsquared]

We expecting decisions today from last weeks interviews too?

 

[fightingillini122]

What time do decisions typically come out?

If they do them today it's usually closer to 5 CST

 

[littlemac]

Interview date?

Holding out hope they’re still sending out As today, in previous months and even last year the wave of As trickled in over a few hours it looks like. They don’t seem to send out all emails within a an hour

 

[Mike Lowe]

Random question, but for those who interviewed how long did it take them to get the post-II survery?

Random question, but for those who interviewed how long did it take them to send the post-II survery?

I didn't get mine until almost 2 months after I interviewed.

 

[fla227]

OOS A!! Interviewed 1/31

 

[zourba]

OOS DD since October it’s gonna be hard getting an R eventually from a school that accepts like 80% post interview 🗿

 

[NIZMOJOE]

OOS DD since October 12 it’s gonna be hard getting an R eventually from a school that accepts like 80% post interview 🗿

+1!

 

[fightingillini122]

+1!

Kind of ridiculous to not send any other updates. At least an email to acknowledge you’re still on DD. Tough to not hear anything since October
