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

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

Congrats on UIC and the funding offer, that's awesome. I'm seriously considering going there - I'd say right now UCLA is the only school that could knock them out, unless USC gave me TONS of funding (UIC gave me a pretty small aid package, but better than nothing).
What appeals to me about UIC is 1) a very strong economic development concentration with a lot of really interesting research into inequality, the racial wealth gap, etc, all of which are my areas of interest, and 2) a really interesting city outside of the school. I know they aren't a top 10 school, but I also think ratings aren't that critical in the grand scheme of things, and that having a match between areas of interest/specializations of the school matter a lot more.
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

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.

But I'd perhaps suggest reaching out to Sean Campbell. He's been super helpful and responsive!

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.
