Voltaire said: Does anyone know what criteria determine which campus an accepted student will get assigned to? Is it based on merit? (Do kids with high GPAs/MCAT get priority?) Is it first come first serve? Random lottery? Thanks Click to expand...

I think they also try to balance the student population at each UIC campus so they are equally diverse in gender, race, age, disadvantaged background, population of town of origin, etc. Campus assignment is not based on merit, though those accepted in the first few waves have the best possibility of being assigned to the Chicago campus as they get their "site preference" cards sent in first.
