The waiting is killing me guys. So they probably have all of September to go through which could take a while

Based on trends from last year it looks like people heard back in December earliest? For what I’m assuming is not the ED pool.

Last year according to SDN, UIC released decisions starting the week after oct 15th. Don't know if they'll do that this year with how long the portal was down

Tomorrow would be my guess (though I guessed last Friday so I’m probably not very reliable). Just judging the SDN posts from last cycle

They mentioned during the post-interview session that if your interviewer is able to complete your application in time, it could be ready for review on the third Thursday of the month. My interview was only a week before that, and they still gave us that caveat. I imagine it's less likely if your interview was the day before, but I would assume that if you don't receive a decision by Friday or Monday, you'll probably have to wait until the third Thursday of the following month.
