I know they say on the website they'll send acceptances late Jan, but last year it was December.... ugh I just want to know and it's weird not having any idea where you stand without an interview

Any Md PhD get an informal (virtual) applicant meet up email? What is that?? Do I have to go?

Does anyone have a rough estimate of the acceptance rate after the secondaries? I know that a lot of people are screened out based on the competencies, but how many acceptances do they send out?

based on last year's admit data, 127 people applied and 39% were accepted

Admit’s data is pretty skewed, so I wouldn’t trust those numbers completely. According to a post I remember reading, a previous applicant posted some stats from an info session in years past: 1300 passed the checklist, 750 submitted secondaries, and around 130 were admitted.

fair enough, worst part about carle illinois is there's no actual interview so we're literally just waiting lol

Are you guys all engineering majors? Or how did you complete the competencies?

yup biomedical engineering

same

career changer with engineering major
