Admit-Alternate choice...now what?

<p>so i got admitted as undeclared, but i applied for the business program which i didnt get into..sigh...so what does that mean? does it mean that if i choose to go to the university of illinois i cant major in business? or can i reapply for the business school my freshman year in university of illinois? Why would i go to university of illinois if i cant major in what i want to major in? What is the point in that? why not just reject me and get it over with?</p>

<p>Of course it has been many years for me, but I transferred in college of Commerce after my sophomore year at Illinois.....I spent the first two years in LAS. Yes, it is competitive, but if you have a goal of transferring, you should be able to as long as you take the right courses and keep up your grades. Many people do the same thing....even those who think they want to be in engineering will be trying to transfer into business after 1 or 2 years.</p>

<p>im in the same boat... does anyone know what to do?</p>

<p>accept your admissions, work extremely hard your first year and try to get straight A's and be involved on campus. at the end of 2nd semester, you can apply for a transfer if you have taken the required courses. write good essays, show good grades and involvement and you should be able to get in. however, if you do not...you cannot apply again.</p>

<p>same here. I got admitted in as alternate choice....gah.</p>

<p>online pity party...yay..wait thats an oxymoron...god i hate making these kind of decisions because there is that great big what if....maybe i should just be like two-faced in the dark knight and use a coin...</p>

<p>I dont know whether i shud be happy that i got in....im just irritated that I didn't get my choice of major. sdgsdlghsldgks its frustrating.</p>

<p>wait so tennisfan, you mean one has to stay in DGS for four years?! O_o</p>

<p>Yup I applied to business and got put in Tourism and Recreation management. LOL. Not quite what I was hoping for. I'll re apply to the business school after 2 semesters, but does anyone know if its possible to transfer to the arts and sciences college to major in poli sci before I enter?</p>

<p>well...i guess im lucky? i applied to business program and got deferred for final decision, does that mean at least i passed the first round for business program?? soo..confused..</p>

<p>yeah..Winston. C...you pretty much passed for now but u still may not make it...btw i recognize u from the kelley at indiana university board lol...how did that turn out?</p>

<p>what i meant is that u can only apply to the business school once. if u don't get in, you can apply for a transfer to say economics or something else.</p>

<p>but I need to wait the two semesters before I could do that?</p>

<p>correct, you cannot apply for a transfer until the very end of your second semester. it doesn't matter in the end, you'll still be taking gen. ed. courses your first year.</p>

<p>DancingInTheRain..y does that surprise u?? lol...they're both good business schools, unfortunately, i wasnt admitted this time. i just hope i get accepted in feb 23</p>

<p>deferred basically means you still have a shot at getting in. Speaking of Kelley, I was accepted there in September</p>

<p>lol Wonston C. its not suprising...i was just pointing it out, but for kelley how did u find out u didnt make it? did they send u a letter? becasue i havent gotten anything yet.... and whats on feb 23?</p>

<p>Kelley post if you get in on the online account and they mail you a packet.</p>

<p>there was a piece of yellow paper with "heard that you're interested in kelley", and on the paper there are requirements and what i should do to get into kelley(something about applying on my sophomore year, or after completing 26 hrs of credits?). so obviously, i dont think i made it to kelley.</p>

<p>GoIllini..wat does kelley post in the online account if u get accepted? i dont even know how that account works..nothing much on it</p>

<p>Sorry for Kelley specifically you get a letter. But for Indiana itself you can find out if you got in by logging in to your account and hitting decision or something. If they have decided it will be there.</p>

<p>I got directly admitted in Kelley because I have a good ACT score and GPA, you may be in the same boat.</p>

<p>I'm going to U of I probably though so Go ILLINI!</p>
