OK, a 30 ACT and 3.5 GPA and application in October 19th 2004!
Still a deferred-manual review required at U of Illinois LAS College.
This totally stinks! How long do they expect students to wait?
Accepted at Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa and Mich State! Friends are getting in thru Ag College even tho they have no intention of staying there. And some are getting in LAS now. Soooo, anybody think I have a snowballs chance???
<p>I know lots of people who got into LAS at UIUC with lower stats than that. some of them did have manual review. what manual review means is that you don't quite make the cut based solely on their computer program and that your application needs to be reviewed by an admissions officer. key question is, are you from IL? If so, I'd say you're a shoe in. If not... it's iffy.</p>
<p>Yes, Illinois resident. But this is for the U of I Champ/Urbana.
Still, I am going crazy! Waiting since Oct 19 with no answer!
Does it really take this long??</p>
<p>UIUC is tricky! It really is impossible to tell if you will get in or not unless everything you're showing is perfect. I've known kids with a 23 ACT that got in, and National Merit Semifinalists that got denied. What a wonderful school though, for real, I love it.</p>
<p>The waiting is CRAZY! Just can't believe that 3.5 ACT30 can't get into a state school! Grrrrr</p>
