It's a soft-R at this point, I had called them in late Feb and they said their last interview dates are in March

Figured, it's just a bit "funny". I wonder when the hard rejections will come out.

Will be withdrawing my OOS A to Peoria by tomorrow. Best of luck to those waiting on a decision. I hope one of you gets it. <3

Honestly it’s just disrespectful lol. Like if we weren’t acceptable in August then we aren’t acceptable now. Just rip off the band-aid, don’t slowly peel it off. Massive respect to University of Wisconsin lol, they let me know real quick that I wasn’t in the running.

 

[mcattooeasy]

+1 but IS

Your IS A will go to an IS applicant?

 

[dotsquared]

why isnt this office answering emails smh

I did get a reply to both of mine end of yesterday

 

[fightingillini122]

Your IS A will go to an IS applicant?

I have no clue.

Anyone know when financial aid/scholarship info is set to be released?

 

[dotsquared]

Anyone know when financial aid/scholarship info is set to be released?

I emailed financial aid and they said mid April, but said the delay with FAFSA made them unsure

 

[LeftElbow]

I've been on a Pre-II hold since december. This is a soft-R, right?

 

[littlemac]

Anyone know when financial aid/scholarship info is set to be released?

I got a merit scholarship notice, but still waiting on FAFSA to be processed.

 

[dotsquared]

I got a merit scholarship notice, but still waiting on FAFSA to be processed.

Can I ask when you were accepted and when you heard about the scholarship?

Agreed 100%. Still haven't heard anything. If I remember correctly they also took a while to send out secondaries. I'm going to send another email asking about interview dates, because why not.

In the wise words of an unknown person: "it is what it is".

Man this school is so obsessed with their portal when it’s legitimately useless. Even when we know for a fact we’re cooked, they want us to refresh that damn portal. When I’d call throughout the process to ask them for updates, they’d emphasize checking the portal even though they don’t update applicants on how their process is going the way schools who actually utilize the portal do. If every update is coming through email, and you’re not posting any updates or rejections in a timely fashion, what are we even checking for? Seriously strange system man ngl to y’all

 

[IUSAMD]

Did people on delayed decision post-interview receive that email about interviews concluding? I did not.

 

[futuremd?]

Did people on delayed decision post-interview receive that email about interviews concluding? I did not.

Given that you have already interviewed, would you expect to receive that email?

 

[2324applicant]

It talks about receiving final decisions and gives clues as to when we would expect to hear final decisions. The knowledge that they are done interviewing is an indication as to where they are at there end. To answer you condescending question, yes it makes sense to send that to all applicants except those that have been accepted.

Agreed, if anything it makes sense to only send to people who are post-II but not received a decision yet. Telling people who have not received an interview yet to keep checking their portal despite interviews being over, does not make sense. The fact that interviews are over means if you didn’t get one then you’re not going to. To me, for post II people it is suggesting that the next coa meeting will be the last and final decisions will be made then.

[The Forgotten King]

I got that exact email but only after emailing them asking about the cycle.

 

[The Forgotten King]

Yes, see above.

 

[hopinthat-bihgoape]

Is there a Facebook group for Chicago?

 

[sushiloverpremed]

Is the portal fine for adding post DD letters of interest or should I also email them?

 

[fla227]

Has anyone received any info. on the Chicago in-person second look day this Friday besides the time?

 

[NotADoctor1]

[Woop99]

[sushiloverpremed]

[sushiloverpremed]

[hockeyguy69]

Me too. I’m so upset :/

I was pretty surprised ngl

 

[IUSAMD]

II September, DD October. No update in my portal. Idk if that’s good or they are sending R in waves… shocked people are hearing today 😳

 

[mcattooeasy]

I mean on their website it says: On May 1st, all applicants with a Delayed Decision status will be placed on our formal waitlist.

It doesn't say anything about R's.

 

[INeed_aVaca]

Can family attend second look day for Chicago? Sorry if this has been asked before!

 

[2324applicant]

I guess they really didn’t like me lol

 

[SquirrellyScholar]

IS R for 10/24 interview day. Well. That's crushing

 

[yma106]

I wonder when they’re gonna reject us who are pre-ii if they’re this cutthroat to the interviewed applicants

 

[MoeMas10]

Fr lol, I’ve been disrespected this cycle

 

[zourba]

Similar situation as you rn ( haven’t sent any updates and probably won’t)

 

[sm888]

Does UICOM accept letters of intent?

 

[AirFryerFan]

Wait people on DD got rejected last week!? I thought we were safe to at least make it to the WL in May?

 

[mcattooeasy]

We all thought

 

[Feeny]

Just withdrew my A! Hope it goes to one of you folks. It also came with a scholarship, so fingers crossed that goes to one of y'all as well.

Best of luck everyone!

 

[sm888]

Just got offered a spot on the waitlist.

 

[mintchocchip]

Also got offered a spot on the waitlist - have been on DD since October and was hoping for a decision this week but guess we have some more waiting in store!
