<p>For those who got into UIUC Engineering in priority filing, did you receive a letter about Illinois iFoundry for Innovation in Engineering? I am just curious about this program. It sounds like it has just been launched. </p>

<p>The link [url=<a href="http://ifoundry.illinois.edu%5DiFoundry%5B/url"&gt;http://ifoundry.illinois.edu]iFoundry[/url&lt;/a&gt;] has some information, but i still don't know what this is? Does anyone know if it is necessary to apply to this program?</p>

<p>There is an application on the ifoundry site. You can apply on-line. Click on Admissions and then Apply. It looks like they are going to pick 50 students for the first class. It basically looks like an experiment in Engineering curriculum change and they want some students to participate.</p>

<p>Yeah, i just applied for that as well. my take is, it doesn’t hurt to apply. even if you get it and don’t feel like doing it, i’m sure you can back down and let someone else take your spot.
they said that there’s only room for 50 people, so it’s going to be tight</p>
