<p>John, did you apply to business? That is the most competitive school, and you are still being considered for it. Chances are you will get in. DBO259 didn’t have the stats for engineering and was offered a spot in DGS. You may still get your no. 1 choice, and if not, you will be offered a spot in another college within the university.</p>
<p>I got the Provost Award today! Plus the Engineering Scholarship award! U of I is my first choice all of a sudden 
Right now I’d be paying 4,500 for 4 years, all on merit money :)</p>
