  1. I heard back from SSA about 6 weeks after meeting their Dec. 1st deadline. I submitted my UIC app in early January and heard back via postal service last week (though the letter was dated 2/24). Hope you hear something soon!
  2. Thanks for creating this thread! I think I'll be accepting my admission (AM Full-time Day Program) tomorrow and am planning to attend at least the Saturday events for Admitted Students' Weekend. I'll be sure to post on here about the experience! I'm also working on figuring out housing options, so any insight is definitely appreciated!
  3. Sure! My undergrad was in speech & hearing science and my work experience has been mostly classroom-related (teaching English in Japan and working for a Montessori school). I do have a fair amount (2-ish years) of volunteer experience with local shelters and leadership roles on campus, but I think the most relevant experience that helped me was my AmeriCorps program, Public Allies. It's a service program focused on social justice and community leadership and I think that really strengthened my application and personal statements!
  4. I'm an out of state student waiting to hear back from UIC, but I can confirm that I received a 2/3 tuition scholarship from UChicago for Fall '16. Hopefully I'll be able to respond again soon with some information about UIC!
  5. Heard back from UChicago SSA yesterday - Accepted + Dean's Leadership Award, which will cover about 2/3 tuition! Hope those acceptances start rolling in for everyone!
  6. Hey flip456! Wanted to let you know that I spoke with an admissions rep at UIC today to check on my one unverified application item and she went through to check everything for me and now my application is (finally) under review! Hope things are under way for you too. Good luck!
  7. Not sure how many of you are applying to University of Illinois-Chicago's MSW program, but I recommend checking your status on the admissions login page. One of the documents I submitted (a fillable PDF) was deemed "illegible" but I never received any notification until I noticed a small note on the admissions site asking me to resubmit it. Hope everyone else is having a smooth application experience!
  8. Just submitted my application to University of Illinois-Chicago's Jane Addams School and to UChicago SSA last week! Amazing what a difference there was between the two applications and how that seems to correlate to the cost of attendance. :)
