I actually haven't even heard from them at all yet ? I'm assuming that means a rejection, but it would still be nice to know if I can count them out for sure.

Thanks! I've actually reached out to him twice now and haven't gotten a response ? oh well

Does anyone have an idea when (or if) we might hear from UCLA if we haven’t already?

Me neither! I'm not feeling super hopeful but not giving up totally yet.

I'm feeling the same way about UCLA, but also bit hesitant about a cross-country move (I also live in MA!) and Los Angeles in general. Chicago seems much more my speed. What attracts me to UCLA is the emphasis on social/racial justice, and I think UIC would offer a similar experience. I also agree about rankings; I'm not sure they actually matter that much in practice as long as the program is a good fit

In at UIC with offer of a research or teaching assistantship! Really relieved to have at least one offer that I know I can afford With that being said, I would love to hear anyone's thoughts on the program!

Is anyone else still waiting to hear from UIC? I know a couple people heard from them a while ago, but I haven’t seen anything since.
