My application is still "under review" . I called yesterday and spoke to admissions: they let me know that my file had yet to be reviewed. (Saturday will mark 6 months' since my application was complete, and was submitted for review). It begs the question: how do they select who they review? It is clear to me that they are not going in order that applications were received). I can't help but feel a bit miffed. My heart was set on this program. Meanwhile I was accepted into another grad school and have accepted their offer- who knows when UIC will review my application and I can't afford to risk the opportunity in another program. News from anyone else?

Any news? I called admissions and they stated something like "We are committed reviewing and sending responses via email regarding admission by the end of April..."

I'm in a similar situation. I've been accepted to MSW program at a private university but I CANNOT afford it. I am banking on acceptance from UIC. If not I'll just have to wait another year and try again. It's been about fifteen weeks since I submitted the application with all supplemental materials & all LORs. It's been about eight weeks since all items were "verified as correct", and about six weeks since my application was submitted for review. It never occurred to me that it would take this long! I've been creeping all over the internet,and have been getting so anxious as I see individuals post about their acceptance. At this point I'd like to just hear SOMETHING. The waiting game is driving me up the wall.
