TriPH Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Just curious to hear from other applicants. Playing the waiting game and thought it would be cool to hear updates from others.
DoctorWho? Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Hi TriPH! I applied too. I'm getting anxious. I heard we'll hear mid-March. If you don't mind me asking, what's your background? Need a sense of my competition ;-) BTW, I heard they received about 130 applications and have 16 or so spots. Cross fingers!
sy2426 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I applied for Epi Phd but didn't hear anything back
TriPH Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 Sy2426, when was your application deadline?? Maybe they just haven't made final decisions yet?
sy2426 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Hi TriPH, the Epi Phd deadline was Dec 15th and I submitted mine on Dec1st. I emailed the department and they said that my application was slightly delayed in the system due to a name matching issue, but it has been resolved.
TriPH Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 Wow, that's an early deadline. Do you know when they planned to make decisions, or if anyone else has gotten notified?
TriPH Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 Good luck to you! I know it causes a lot of anxiety. Have you looked at your account on the UIC website to see if there is any info there?
sy2426 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Good luck to you! I know it causes a lot of anxiety. Have you looked at your account on the UIC website to see if there is any info there? Thanks and good luck to you too Yes my status showed that my application has been referred to college for review. I found that the department is pretty responsive regarding inquires and they usually get back to you in few hours.
DoctorWho? Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 TriPH I replied to your PM. I just checked my Sophas and it said "Completed/Not Verified"... What do you guys see?
TriPH Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 Mine still says "referred to college for review", but my application materials weren't received until last Friday (Even though everything was in SOPHAS before Feb 1)
DoctorWho? Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Oh my... ok now I'm nervous... Did your SOPHAS just update recently?
TriPH Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 Oh I just noticed you said SOPHAS. All I know is I submitted it at the end of last month.
TriPH Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 DoctorWho?, are you checking your account on the UIC website? I'm pretty sure your SOOHAS should be verified. Id call UIC and make sure they got it. When I look at my account on the UIC website it says "referred to college for review".
irlys Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Hi everyone, Did anyone get further news about the application? Mine still says "referred to college for review"... hope it is not a negative sign! Already 2+ months since the submission.
TriPH Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 Hi, irlys! Did you apply to the DrPH? Mine still says the same thing.
TriPH Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 I called last week and was told we wouldn't hear until the end of April...BUT someone else emailed Brandon and was told early to mid March. Then, that same person called this week and was told the review committee is behind and it will probably be April now.
DoctorWho? Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Hi irlys! Welcome to the discussion board. Me and TriPH are waiting patiently (or impatiently) for admission results What's your background?
NikDrPH Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Hi All, I'm also awaiting a decision so decided to join you all in the waiting game. I reached out to Brandon a while ago and was told that decisions would be made early to mid-March. I've called him a number of times (as I anxiously await) and haven't received an answer or call back. Hopefully we'll here sometime soon.
NikDrPH Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 FYI I just received a response from Anna that decisions will be emailed by late April.
DoctorWho? Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Welcome NikDrPh! Yea I waas told early April too! What's your background?
DoctorWho? Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I'm surprised that Anna said late April because if other people applied to other schools, they need to provide a response and commit to them by April 15! Well, that's good news for us I guess. Less awesome people to compete with!
