<p>A friend of mine who applied to UIUC got "Contact Admissions Office" after about a month, and a week later he received a letter of rejection.</p>

<p>Sorry to hear that man. =</p>
<p>I sent in my application by mail about a week ago, so is there any way I can check my status online or is this just for those who applied online? I'm kinda nervous and would love to find out in advance... thanks.</p>
<p>On your paper application, did you fill in your e-mail address, if not, you will get a small envelope in the mail with your identification number and log in number. Don't fret when you see this envelope, a friend of mine almost didn't open it because he thought it was a rejection letter, haha. If you put your e-mail in , they will send you a confirmation letter with your info.</p>
<p>Jer0d</p>
<p>Thanks!<br>
Yeah, I filled in my email... it's just strange that they didn't get my application yet cause I haven't heard from them.</p>
<p>It usually takes a little while for them to log your information into their system.</p>
<p>Jer0d</p>
<p>They say they still dont have my transcript yet ...</p>
<p>Checked the tracking # and it says they delivered it to the admissions office on Dec 9th.</p>
<p>Heck, I even have a copy of the guy's signature who signed off on it.</p>
<p>Do you mean, you actually talked to someone at the university and they said they don't have your transcript, or are you going to by what the online deal says?</p>
<p>If you're going by the online status, don't depend on it. My transcripted arrived at UIUC on Nov. 1 but they didnt enter it into their system until Nov. 15</p>
<p>ahh its been like seven weeks n no word...congrats on evry1 who got in already. does anyone know if rejections have been posted/sent out yet?</p>
<p>Monobala: Yeah, a friend of mine who applied at the end of October was rejected, in which he received his letter about a week ago. Hang in there, if you haven't been rejected/deferred yet, you should be in pretty good shape.</p>
<p>Jer0d</p>
<p>oh wow sorry for ur friend...do you by any chance know what his stats were like?</p>
<p>Even bad for LAS, his stats were below mid-50 ranges, so that's how it goes. Do you have aim, monabala86 ?</p>
<p>Jerod</p>
<p>Going by the online ...</p>
<p>Calling them tomorrow. I'm in the lower GPA range for their engineering program .. scary. Wanna get in so bad, even if its an 11 hour drive =/</p>
<p>How's your ACT/SAT Score, Timosy ?</p>
<p>Jerod</p>
<p>Well, heres a good a place as any I guess</p>
<p>3.3 GPA, 8 AP courses, 94-100 = A grading scale, +.5 for AP classes</p>
<p>1430 SAT (760v, 670m)</p>

<p>Ignore what it says next to SAT.. miscalculation which is obvious when you look at the score breakdown</p>
<p>The part that worries me most about your application is that since your school doesn't rank, UIUC will fit your GPA in a standardized curve for your GPA, and somehow guestimate your Class Rank. Your SAT is in the higher end for Engineering. It's going to be a tough call , but if your essays are good, I think you should be good to go. I would call them or write them letting them know that your school has a beast of a grading scale, though, if they don't already know.</p>
<p>Jerod</p>
<p>Should be in the transcript (the grading scale). Hopefully.</p>
<p>Yeah, kind of annoyed my school doesn't rank. Career center lady said it helped more than it hurt but .. no .. I think ranking would help more than it hurt >_<</p>
<p>In really competitive private schools and competitive schools in general, it is pretty beneficial.</p>
