Anyone hear from UIC lately? I'm still in the queue according to the site 🤞🏻

I applied the first week of January. My application has been listed as "Complete, Under Review with the Department" since sometime thereafter.

They must have a very interesting approach to selecting people. The deadline was 2/1. I caught that others on this forum had acceptances as early as 2/6 and they'd applied after me. 

At this point, I wonder if I'm either very, very high on the waitlist, or if someone just forgot to hit the reject button on me...

For those waiting to hear from UNMC's Advocacy and Leadership concentration. I asked the director of admissions for an update on admissions. He said they have just completed the reviews and will now go through the process of ranking everyone based on the reviews. They should be extending offers by end of next week at the very latest. eat y arew at going through the process of ranking everyone based on to have these by the end of next week at the very latestthey are now going through the process of ranking everyone based on the reviews to see who we will be extending offers to. I hope to have these by the end of next week at the very latest

Curious if anyone has received an offer from UNMC's DrPH program focused on Advocacy and Leadership? Based on this, it sounds like acceptance communications would have started by today.

I didn't email them to ask for the status but I got an email from the Associate Program Director that results will be declared by March 18th. However, I still haven't heard from them. 

Confirming that I received the same email stating the March 18th date for decisions to be communicated, but I too have  not received an additional email with any decision.

It sounds as if this year's prospective cohorts have had a much higher number of applicants than in the past. I'm very sympathetic to the admissions teams, but it's unfortunate to have an expectation communicated with no follow-through, or follow-up stating that the date needs to be pushed further out.

The veiled and long timelines for these processes to play out has added unnecessary pressure to an already stressful situation. I wish there was a more unified approach, like a Match Day, or something similar.
