<p>Now i am sure that it means that i have been rejected but why wouldn't they wait to send me a letter? Why would they tell me such a thing on my online profile? They sent me a email that said they would give me their final decision via U.S. mail. Do you have any idea how much it hurts to go onto your profile to see if they have read your application, only to see that they have read it and rejected you, without really telling you why. It was a shock because i didn't expect to be told like that. I would have much rather have got a letter but instead it get one word, "Deny". It is like a doctor telling you that you have cancer through your email. They they have any idea how hard it is to be rejected from a university? To do it like that is just cold.</p>
<p>dood, you know that EVERYONE, whether it be accept or deny sees their decisions online like that, right? It's not like they're out to get you for doing that. It's just their system.</p>
<p>it's the u of i. what can i say. they are notorious for being callous and unkind. they have a large number of students and they rarely see anyone as a student instead of a number.</p>
<p>Perhaps i was being a bit too sensitive last night. It was a bit of shock to learn like that but in the end, it probably was best to learn it as fast as possiable. I twenty years, it probably won't make any differences where i live in northern illinois between the ages of 20 and 22. It would have been nice to go but i can and will move on. I still believe that it is a bit cold to tell someone like that but whats done is done.</p>
<p>what were ur stats?</p>
<p>I was really shocked I was denied too. My essays were pretty awesome, I must say. I know it came down to class rank- I was like 26% or something before semester (now I'm 23% - I had a bad underclassman experience). I have a 28 ACT and 3.5 GPA. So, I assume that's somewhere within their average. Anyway, I didn't really want to to go there but it would've been nice to have the option? (I should also note I've been an editor on the newspaper for three years, EIC included, secratary of class council, yearbook head editor, and many other leadership roles in a school of ~3000... hmmmm.)</p>
<p>Well, CBA, if you got rejected with stats like that, then i guess i never had a chance. I had a 3.1, however i am in college, and i was going for a political science major, which i guess is harder to get into then it appears. </p>
<p>Then again, CBA, you probably could have got into the school if you had chose an easier major to get into. I probably could have got in with a different major choice, some actual ec's, and a slightly better GPA. Do you know what the kicker is? Last semester i got a 3.2. I got 4 B's and an A. If i had tried a little harder on a just a few tests in september, i would have probably had a 3.8 or a 4.0 . That is what i hate about my school, a B+ is equal to 3 grade points and a B- is equal to 3 grade points. I got 3 B+'s. Just a few more hours of work and my overall GPA would go from a 3.1 to a 3.4. If i could go back to september, i would smack the hell out of myself.</p>
<p>I would feel even better even if I get rejected. I am not getting my decision back for 4th month now..//
Whatever they do, they are taking way too long time./</p>
<p>Well, i got my letter a few days back and i have had to time to think, really it isn't the end of the world. I have a lot of great options and even if things don't turn out exactly how i wanted them to, in the end, this little thing really doesn't matter.</p>
<p>yeah.. it's better to think that way. I will probably not get in UIUC. I don't have good stats so..And.. I think same way. it's just little time of period compare to my whole life, and it's really a small thing compare to things that are coming up./</p>
