so i was worried all along i wouldnt get in and it is my first choice tied with univeristy of maryland. i prefer maryland because its nearer to where i live but will be happy to go to both, kind of a coin flip.
but well here were my stats
out of state -new york (filipino)
gpa - 3.2 weighted
sats - 1260
got into LAS
thats pretty much it… i really thought i would get rejected. i was deffered from early action and i think this helped me alot. because they usually just put ur gpa and sat in the computer and if u above the average u get in but no manual review. if u below the average they deffer you and manually review it. i think they saw that my grades were good and i took good course load. and the only grades i got below a B were spanish. i got a D+ freshman year and was really unmotivated and got C+ last two years. everything else i took honors and some aps getting a’s and b’s. the manual review helped me alot in my eyes and im so happy i got in.
<p>wait how did you get in already if you were deferred?? when youre deferred isnt your application sent to the regular decision pile? (notification date mid-late march?)</p>
<p>i dont know but i kept checking online everyday and i checked and it says decission admit. my brother got the same thing ( we twins) but was not deffered. he got the decissionl ike 1 montyh ago and like 2 weeks ago he got the package with the letter sayign he got in and all the information about what he has to do confirm if he is going there. </p>
<p>maybe i did early action so they deffered me and looked at me first.</p>
<p>and no i have not visited the campus. i already visited maryland and im getting that decission feburary 1st. im going to visit illinois in april and make my decission then. have to make up my mind by may 1st.</p>
<p>hey when did you apply? i applied literally on the last day, dec 15 i think, and mine is showing deferred-manual review, i have a 1210 SAT (500 v, 710 m), and i have a 600 toefl (which in some schools, can replace the verbal part, it's an English test for foreign students), anyway, my ECs are pretty good, several state awards, and 1 national, good essays and teacher recom, too, i hope :) anyway,,, i desperately wanna go there (engineering),, so,, yeah,, just wonder how long will it take to hear from them :)</p>
<p>i appplied the last day too, i had that message for acouple of days but 2 days ago it said admit. it really depends on the person. my brother sent his in 2 days before me and like a week later it said admit and then he waited 3 weeks for the letter in the mail. while i waited like 1month and had that manual review thing.
just check it everyday and should have ur decission soon. my letter will probally come in 2-3weeks.</p>
<p>crazy did u apply to the engineering school? i want to do bussiness but i know my grades suck to get in that school so instead i aplied to LAS and hope to get my grades up and maybe get into the bussiness school.</p>
<p>yeah, smart choice, i should've applied to some other schoolsl jsut to get in first,,,,, sigh,,,, btw,, r u in-state or out-state? i'm out tho,, thanks for the info :)</p>
<p>well we are considered asian but we really different from the typical asian people like china and japan. we were imperialised over by the spain (philippines was named after king philip of spain) and lots of our cultural comes from them. thats why lots of filipino's have spanish last names and we tan and have some spanish features. also our language sounds nothign like chineese or japenese, it sounds alot like spanish and some words are even spanish. our food is pretty much after spanish food and we are catholic like them too. </p>
