<p>just out of curiosity, did you also have a super high ACT of above 34?? since a $6000 scholarship would make your tuition go from $10,000, which is ridiculously low to $4,000, lol talk about a college bargain..</p>
<p>and they said college was expensive haha</p>
<p>i thought uic was about $10k before, but then i got the estimate sheet and it adds up to be about $18k a year......burst my bubble......</p>
<p>yeah supposedly they just increased the tuition, which kind of sucks for people entering UIC Fall 2008...but 18 grand is still very affordable compared to other schools, which makes UIC stand out in terms of lower tuition, but is the quality just as good as Ivy league schools or schools like Wash U and NW?</p>
<p>FutureDr08>>> my ACT score wasn't above 34</p>
<p>@Future,</p>
<p>Yes, my ACT was a 36. But thinking back on it, it was an Honors College thing, because it was signed by the guy that I will forever remember as that "passion" man.</p>
<p>You mean Dr. Chambers?</p>
<p>hahaha i think he means Dr. Kaufman.</p>
<p>lol yeah that's the Dean...</p>
<p>erm..UIC is definitely not on par with ivies or washU, haha. It has it's own positive qualities but, overall, UIC isn't what people would usually consider a great school. </p>
<p>one more week! good luck to people who have 2nd interviews tomorrow. i belive thats the last of them :)</p>
<p>people still have second interviews tomorrow? wow I thought they were over a long time ago</p>
<p>For new freshman, tuition went up about 10% from what I heard. That actually isn't as bad as some years. The UIC COM is an expensive public medicine college though.</p>
<p>yeah I just saw a news story on ABC7 News at 6, and they said most Illinois public schools including U of I, UIC, Southern, Eastern, and Northern are increasing tuition costs...</p>
<p>It will cost U of I students about $20,000 for room/board/classes.
It will cost UIC students about $10,000 with $9,000 for campus housing and room/board...</p>
<p>So that kind of stinks how all the Fall 2008 college students who stay in IL will have to pay more, lol glad I'm not staying in Chicago. It's spring break and snowing like it has been for few days...cloudy/rainy....lol that's Chicago!</p>
<p>good luck everyone, I bet your getting anxious to say the least:)</p>
<p>hey if y'all had to pick between uic and msu bs/md, which would you pick and why?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>did you already find out you got in?</p>
<p>When do we find out? Does anyone know?</p>
<p>March 31st..i believe thats on monday</p>
<p>well they did say the week of but i recall them initially telling us we would find out on the 31st. we will be notified by e-mail.</p>
<p>thanks ms. volpe</p>
<p>no problem</p>
<p>in the past people have checked their admissions status online on their GPPA app on the UIC admissions website . . . i wonder if it will work this year. </p>
<p>Last year they were able to see it on 3/30, which was a friday. </p>
<p>well good luck everyone!</p>
