Hi all, I received my TA Offer letter from the UIC admission on March 5, and I did accept the offer the same day. However, my application status has been on "Additional Review Required" since then. I emailed the admission. They replayed that the final decision has to be made by the Graduate College/Admissions Office for final review/approval. I really need to get the i-20 form as soon as possible due to the time limitations we have in booking the embassy time. Should I consider myself admitted, or that would be an optimistic look? Because kind of I am worried about that too.

How long should I wait for the official email?

Hi Two days ago, I got an email from the director of Graduate studies of UIC, which says "We have recommended to the Graduate College that you be admitted as a degree-seeking student on full graduate standing to the Department of Political Science Ph.D. Program." Today checked my application, and the status was changed from "Under review of the department" to "Additional Review Required by the Graduate College." Is that mean I got waitlisted?

Thank you for your hopeful words. I really needed that after a recent rejection from California Merced. About the faking thing, I didn't know people could do that kind of thing and get away with it, especially in an academic atmosphere but thank you for the heads up

Hi all I got an email from director of Graduate studies of UIC which says "We have recommended to the Graduate College that you be admitted as a degree-seeking student on full graduate standing to the Department of Political Science PHD Program." I was wondering how are chances for me after receiving this email? should I consider my self accepted or is it too soon to think that way?
