<p>Can someone explain this to me? I’m uber confused.</p>
<p>DECISION: DEFERRED (Business)
ACT: 30
GPA: 4.3 W
A lot of extra curriculars and good essays.</p>
<p>but when I checked my admission status it says Deferred to Curric Unassigned.
Does this mean Deferred only to business or deferred to gen studies as well?
I’m assuming this is just deferred to Business and I got into gen studies considering that I know some people with 26’s and 3.5s…but does anyone know exactly how the deferring process goes for business school or engineering school? Thanks!</p>
<p>Logan, you’re still being considered for the school of business,and you’ll know if you got in COB in February. If you get rejected from COB in Feb, then I’m quite sure they’ll offer you an alternate program (like DGS)</p>

So what should he do next?
Click the “Accept your offer” link and accept the offer right?
Or just do nothing?</p>
<p>Don’t accept it if he wants to compare UIUC’s offer with financial aid later on with other schools. You have until May 1 to accept its offer.</p>
