Update....spoke with Recruitment today. Pulled my app up & reported that I'm still in contention & the 40ish remaining applications are enroute to final committee review. Should know final disposition by mid April. Hope this helps as well.
Applied to UIC DrPH Feb 1. App status says under review with the dept. I was surprised to find that many applicants were receiving decisions as early as mid Feb in this forum. Fingers crossed that they just haven't got to me in the pile yet 😬
