<p>Does illinois have early decision?</p>
<p>No...they do not have early decision. what they did have is a "priority filing date" of 11/15 and a final filing deadline of 1/2. U of I had two notification dates--12/15 and 3/1. Those who filed by 11/15 were notified by 12/15 of an admission decision ( admit, reject or defer). If you were admitted you had until May 1 to commit--you were under no obligation to attend. For those deferred, they were considered with al of the remaining applicants and notified on 3/1 as to whether they were admitted or rejected. some were offered a place on the wait list). You can get more detail on their website uiuc.edu--and the info I am sharing is based on 2006-2007 application season. You just have to keep up to date by looking at the web site to see if they make any changes for next year.</p>
