If you do not plan on attending UIC, I kindly ask that you reject ASAP. And congratulations on your acceptance. I'm hoping to hear from them before the 15th, I understand this is unlikely.

The email from the admission committee said all decisions will be out this week. Should we assume rejection if we did not hear back by the end of today...? It looks only a handful people got in on the thread so far. Any info welcome.

applying for theoretical astrophysics (mostly cosmology); e-mail from a professor in cosmology (but not someone I mentioned in my personal statement), had a 45min Skype interview on 1/16 (probably would have been shorter if I had asked fewer questions). Similar interview content as the PB, pretty low pressure (thanks a million PB).

To the posters below asking about UNC Chapel Hill, I received an acceptance notice before January 22nd, so I don't understand why your committee connection told you that. Hope this helps you figure it out, good luck in your admission process.
