<p>I applied priority for business but was deferred (and they said they don't want to see my first semester grades), so I was considering withdrawing my application and applying the regular round since my GPA is MUCH higher my first semester senior year (I failed my junior year).
The question is: does UIUC look at first semester senior year grades for the regular round?</p>
<p>You can have only one application to UIUC for any given year and if you were to withdraw your application after your deferral you would be finished and not allowed to submit another application.</p>
<p>And no, UIUC does not use first semester senior year grades for admission for any applicants, priority or regular, unless you are applying as someone who finished high school last year or before.</p>
