  1. I wrote about my struggle with mental health issues because it is absolutely the reason I am going into social work. I wrote about how it has motivated me to help others experiencing the same struggle, as a strength that will help me understand their experience. I also wrote about how AA is an important part of my self-care and support system. I don't know if that would be recommended in all cases. I was applying to Jane Addams, which is a school that believes really strongly in social justice and diversity, so I knew going into it that my story might make me a strong candidate. And I did get in. Ultimately, my experiences with mental illness are such an integral part of my story and the reason I am going into this field. I couldn't imagine not writing about it in my Personal Statement.
  2. Hey bamtc4! I got in! I guess I will be seeing you in the fall! What's your concentration? Mine is Mental Health.
  3. Well I got accepted! Thank god I don't have to obsess anymore about this! AND I'm going to be a social worker!
  4. I applied to UIC Jane Addams and still no word back. I've heard from other people that they've been accepted. I called & emailed a while ago but they said they were behind and didn't know when I would hear back. I emailed them again recently but no reply whatsoever. Is it possible I have been rejected and they just aren't sending out a rejection to me? I need to start looking for a Job and if I am not going to school next year that will affect what kind of job I look for. What in gods name should I do at this point? Is anyone else still waiting for UIC? Or any other school?
  5. Ugh they just do not want to tell me anything. I feel like if I have to wait much longer I will just explode! It's so hard not knowing.
  6. Thanks! I applied then too. I will send them an email and see what happens. Congrats again! I will let you know when I hear back. Are you from here or will you be relocating?
  7. Congratulations! I haven't heard back yet ... Wen did you apply?
  8. Yeah, I am finishing up my undergrad at UIC now. Their psych department is great. I'm pretty fond of UIC. This is the only school I have applied to because of the cost and the good reputation of Jane Addams, knowing many awesome people who have graduated and knowing they have good research going on there too. BUT I JUST DON'T WANT TO WAIT! If it's 8 more weeks until I find out I will even miss the application period for financial aid. I am considering calling and asking how long it will be. Is that appropriate? And who would I even call?
  9. Hi everyone! I have been hanging around looking at posts and thought I would say hey and see if there's anyone to commiserate with! I'm still waiting to hear back from UIC. From what I've read UIC is notoriously slow. I feel pretty confident that I'll get in because I do have a pretty good GPA -- 3.59, some relevant volunteer experience and a Psychology degree from UIC. I think I wrote a darn good personal statement too. But I do get myself into a panic every once in a while. So I just thought I'd see what anyone else's experience has been with UIC. I read somewhere that the acceptance rate is 77% which makes me feel pretty hopeful. Has anyone heard back from UIC yet? Or applied in the past? Thanks!
