Surprised I have not seen many people post about many in-state interview invites yet. maybe they are running behind ?

Saw that their website says we can send letters to express continued interest if we haven’t heard anything in over 6 weeks.

Submitted early August, they’re one of my top choices, I’m IS and feel like my app is well-aligned with them but haven’t heard anything yet. Has anyone tried sending one of those interest letters without any major updates? Don’t want to come off as impatient😅

I’m planning to do this without any major updates and also express continued interest and mission fit with the updates. If anything it might not help but I don’t think it will hurt either personally

Do you have a link to that part of the website/the exact phrasing? I couldn't find anything :(

It’s in the FAQ section under “My application is completed but I haven't heard from UICOM about an interview. What should I do?”

And here’s the full answer:

“UICOM carefully screens each of its applicants–approximately 7,500– holistically, which may result in a delay in hearing from us. If it’s been over 6 weeks since your application was marked complete, you are welcome to submit an update via the “Other Documents” section of the Secondary Application Portal to reaffirm your interest in our institution, or provide other updates that are relevant to the Committee on Admissions (such as updates on research, employment, experiences, etc.). These will be reviewed by the Committee.“
