<p>I've searched the U of I website extensively for the dates when deferred students would receive a decision. I found out deferred students would receive a decision no earlier than February 15 at 5pm ct. Oddly enough, Just this afternoon I heard from several friends who have seen their "Deferred Until Final Review" updated to deny or wait listed. My decision status has not changed however. I was wondering if any other deferred students out there have had this happen to them. Also, is the U of I already evaluating deferred students before the final review date? I believe the deferred status may have been a place holder for those priority applicants that they have not gotten around to, but I'm not entirely sure.</p>
<p>Thats odd. I recently stop checking my application status on UIUC since I thought the website stated we will only hear back on February x, a date given meaning no later or ealier. I guess I will start checking my status everyday now.</p>
<p>I think Deferred Until Final Decision is a bit different than a straight deferral. Now Drusba can correct me, but unless the online application is totally screwed up, then there has to be a difference, because, otherwise, the statement about no decisions until Feb 15th, is not factually correct. So, which is it “Big D”?</p>
<p>Well I called the U of I and I told them about this and they said that I must have misheard my friends or they weren’t giving me the right information. One of my friends actually showed me his application and his computer and it had indeed changed. I don’t think they were lying to me but the U of I knows what it’s doing I suppose.</p>
