Congrats! Curious if you submitted scores?
NY2023, congrats on the well-deserved admission. I plan to apply to Cornell next year. Did you upload the optional resume and wrote the optional covid-19 essay in your common app? I just want to start early and plan my Cornell application strategy. Thanks!
Did anyone get admitted into Human Ecology? If so, congratulations and can you please list your stats? Thank you!
I did submit scores. I got a 36 on the ACT.

I just lost all hope. I doubt if I can even be deferred from UIUC CS.
Maybe my GPA and SAT were too low compared to other applicants.
Any accepted students apply test optional?
Donāt lose hope! There is a school out there for you! And UIUCās acceptance rate for CS is also very low, especially for OOS. So Iām hoping it isnāt your only back up plan.
Havenāt been on CC in quite a while, but I wanted to drop in and say I was accepted to CALS!
No ACT/SAT because CALS didnāt take them
11 APs and all 5s on all tests Iāve already taken
Varsity sports, internships, leadership in multiple clubs, ample volunteer hours, community outreach/initiatives in subjects relating to my interests (population health, medicine)
Commended Scholar PSAT, AP Scholar, State award for leadership
I was deferred
D23 also deferred from SHA
Yes intl. here accepted with almost full ride.
Accepted into CAS for government!
Stats:
Hispanic living in rural southern state
Decided to go test-optional
3.93 UW GPA
33/803 class ranking
Good ECs related to major
UIUC CS is one of the top programs in the country. Thatās why choosing a second major on the app is key, if you would go there for something non-CSā¦
For those accepted, when did you receive the financial aid info?
DD accepted 1510/35 3.95uw/4.4w 300 hours service, eagle scout, good LoRs and essays.
I have not received fin aid info yet here. Hopefully soon.
We got our financial package late Friday. The calculated EFC was better (lower) than shown on the FAFSA, resulting in a good offer.
Cornell still factors $5k or so of loans, which was expected based on Cornellās cost calculator, but still a little disappointing for an institution of its caliber.
Overall very happy!
