@planningapp22 Got my letter today too, with the same 5k! Every bit helps. I replied to Dom and asked if there was a specific place I should be checking for potentially available assistantships... my guess is that if we weren't offered them off the bat we will just need to apply for them as they become available throughout the year/semesters. I will likely be accepting, as this is the best financial decision for me and I am excited about the program! (Plus I'm already in the city, which definitely helps ) What about you?

@planningapp22@TomorrowsParties Did either of you by chance hear from UIC on Friday? That was the new date Dr. Tilahun had given me via email but now it's Sunday and still nothing for me...

Re: UIC, nope! Super frustrating. I emailed Dr. Tilahun on Monday of last week and he said they were "currently aiming to send out letters by the end of next week." Which would be this Friday, March 18. Getting pretty impatient as they're my top choice but I'd like to know if I am eligible for any funding from them before I make a decision about re-signing my lease here in Chicago! I wish they'd been more realistic about the timeline during the info session this past winter. ?

Thanks for checking in with them and reporting back! That does seem really late. I do know they just got a new Dean of CUPPA and they had a sudden loss of one of their faculty members/research center directors in January, so I kind of wondered if things had gotten pushed back a bit. Hopefully we hear this week or next!

Just got an email that I'm in at the University of Washington MUP program! The email says there should be a separate email sometime in March that will contain funding information (if I get any!) Still waiting on UIC-- anyone hear anything yet?

I haven't heard yet-- I'm hopeful it will be this week since I heard from one program (Wisconsin) last week. Did you end up reaching out? I'm over here anxiously refreshing the portal...
