<p>Admitted 
i’ll just say, my academics were great, ecs not so much … everyone had to check the application status part on the website, right? Why didn’t they send you an email?</p>
<p>u of I severely lacks that kind of stuff…congratulating people and convincing them to go to u of I. I didn’t need to be convinced but a lot of people decide between other schools too. you’ll get a litle packet in the mail in a couple of weeks but I applied to purdue and they constantly send stuff through the mail and email. Im not going to purdue but they’re an example of what u of I should be doing</p>
