This review is only for the UIC's application system and the school's admissions officers. Nobody keeps you updated about the application except their computerized application system. I applied for a graduate program and received computer generated form emails about a "missing" item which I resubmitted. However, I later discovered that the problem was not that it was missing (which it was present in the application in the first place), but that the item was in a format which they did not accept. Had they told me in the first place that the format was incorrect, I would have sent them the item in the correct format and saved myself all the wasted time having to wait for the next application cycle to re-apply.

I provided the Admissions department a constructive suggestion to update their form letters to provide more accurate information. However, the admissions officer I spoke with would only defend the inaccurate form letter placing the blame on the applicant.

If it wasn't for the high quality program and faculty I want to pursue classes with, this experience would have turned me off from this school completely.
