<p>For those applying to UIUC, be aware of the application deadlines particularly for the priority application period where you get notified Dec 12 of the decision: U</a> of I Admissions: Freshman Dates & Deadlines</p>
<p>UIUC has moved its priority deadline up this year to Nov 1 (it was Nov 10 last year) and all materials required for consideration (transcript, test scores, application, must be postmarked by that date). In other words, if you wait to end of October to get around to applying by Nov 1, you may find you cannot get all necessary materials sent by Nov 1.</p>
