pinkdragonslayer76 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Probably above 55%. You seem like a strong candidate and should get accepted. http://www.petersons.com/graduate-schools/university-of-illinois-at-chicago-jane-addams-college-of-social-work-000_10026800.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdghasdghsjdgas Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 yep UIC is the last school i'm waiting on. i've heard it's a little easier to get in, but they do take 1,000,000 years to get back to prospective students about admit decisions, so i'm sticking it out till april at least.

mcortzda Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Anybody heard from UIC or SIUC? I'm waiting to hear back from both still and getting worried I was forgotten from UIC. I don't know if I should accept my other offer or contact the schools. Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiting! Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Still haven't heard from UIC and super anxious about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdghasdghsjdgas Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 has someone called in to admissions yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiting! Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I emailed over a month ago, they said six to eight weeks from my verified date. I'm just confused as to why my verified date was over two months after everything was in. Oh well! Just have another month of waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggoswami32 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I called and the lady said there wasn't really anything she could do -she recommended that I accept at another school and then withdraw if I was later accepted to UIC so I guess that's what I'm going to do. She also reminded me that it says "APPROXIMATELY" 6-8 weeks haha so I guess it could take longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
