I've been accepted to Columbia, U of Denver and U of Washington (which I will most likely attend), but three months later I am still waiting to hear from UIC. They lost one of my transcripts and found it again 6 weeks after my file was considered "complete" and have been giving me the run around about my file. Has anyone else had problems with UIC? Still waiting for an admissions decision or financial aid? It would mean instate tuition for me, even though U of Washington is a better fit. Anyone deciding to attend or know anyone already in the program who is having good experiences so far? I'm beginning to wonder if this school is worth it.

Well, I'm off the waitlist!!!!!!!! I'll have to wait and see how much financial aid is offered then decide between UIC (instate tuition) and U of Washington. First choice is Washington due to my interest in International Social Work. I guess I'll know by June! AZmsw, I'm from Phoenix.... left Arizona 5 years ago : ) To those who already live in Seattle - Is it advisable to live there with a car or possible to live well without one?

Hello to all those accepted, denied and waitlisted! I was waitlisted last month and was a little bit surprised. After checking my status online it looks like my transcripts somehow arrived past the deadline? - maybe that has something to do with it. Is anyone else waitlisted out there? Anyone know if it's a ranked waitlist, how many people waitlisted there are, etc? The admissions office hasn't been the most communicative. I have 7 years of service experience both full and part time. Have worked with extremely diverse populations - for example - at risk youth on Chicago's south side, worked/lived in Korea, am currently a full time, long term volunteer in Honduras. Speak Spanish intermediately. History of adversity, only/first person in family to attend college. Have research experience. Was accepted to Columbia with funding, but waitlisted at U of Washington and U of Denver( because one letter of rec arrived a week late) - Still waiting to hear from one more school. Am interested in International Social Work.
