<p>Hello, </p>
<p>I recently applied to University of Illinois at Chicago and when I checked my application status online it said "Decision: Deferred until final review". What does this mean? Do I still have a chance to get in? How long will it take for a final review? I tried calling the Office of Admissions but they weren't very helpful. Please please respond if you can helppp!I'm freaking out.</p>
<p>BTW--I'm a transfer student.</p>
<p>I wd be a little concerned too, but at least you have made it to a final review and weren't rejected in preliminary stages. I am dealing with our d's formal deferral from ED to RD, which is like being in a state of suspended animation. Your situation looks like your application is in flight through the approval process, given the ferocious indifference you are getting from the admissions office. If this was a formal ED deferral, you would know it. Sit tight and let the process run its course</p>
