<p>@AGDC18 That is correct, but it is a general decision form. I guess asking a moderator to edit it would be in our best interest. Thank you!</p>
<p>@ProvocativePanda No, all students will receive their decision on February 13, 2015 (2/13/15). Priority this year only guarantees automatic consideration for the honors program. </p>
<p>“In an effort to enroll students such as Steimle, the U. of I. won’t defer any applicants this year. Instead of having two admissions periods, the university will have one application deadline — Dec. 1 — and one universal notification date — Feb. 13. The goal: No students will feel like second-tier applicants, and more Illinois students will choose Illinois…”</p>
<p>There are no December deferrals, but all students not accepted to their first choice major are effectively deferred for that major pending yield results. So students will still be offered last minute spots in their first choice major, just as Mr. Steimle was. They have done nothing to change this situation and in fact, ironically, may have made it worse. If the new policy has a negative affect on yield, as I speculate, there will be even more last minute offers made.</p>
<p>As for an official wait list, nothing has changed. Many students (1500ish) will be invited to join the wait list as they have been in previous years.</p>
<p>Hi! I am a senior in highschool and applied to University of Illinois in September. I am beginning to get very nervous about my chances of getting in. I applied to the AHS college and am an Illinois resident. Here is some of my information.</p>
<p>Attend private highschool
ACT: 31
GPA: ~4.3
Grades: Got mostly As a few Bs all three years except for two separate semester classes I received Cs. One was AP US History, one was Honors Chemistry.
Essays were very good I think.
Extra curriculurs: I listed 18 awards/activities including National Honors Society, 4 year honor roll, Illinois State Scholar, AP Scholar, volunteer at a nursing home, employee at a nursing home, volunteer for summer baseball program for disabled children, and multiple sports and service clubs at my school.</p>
<p>However, I am very, very nervous that those semester Cs will exclude me from admission. Do you think my ACT, GPA, and extra curriculars will balance them out? Or will I be denied because of them. I know that U of I looks for all As, but will they consider that they were very challenging courses? Thank you for your feedback.</p>
<p>@YZamyatin Are they still offering some applicants a spot in a similar major or in the Division of General Studies if they aren’t accepted into their first choice major? Also, when are those not initially accepted offered these last minute spots?</p>
<p>The College of Engineering offers applicants the chance to select a 2nd choice major, so such applicants can be accepted to 1st choice, 2nd choice or DGS. I’m not sure exactly how the other colleges work, but I know not all colleges operate the same way.</p>
<p>There is no set schedule for offering applicants spots that open up in their 1st choice major. It depends on the timing of decisions by applicants accepted. In the article posted above, the student was offered a spot in the COB pretty late.</p>
<p>@YZamyatin I’m unsure of the efficiency for waitlist this year, but hopefully replies are not too late. If I get onto the CS waitlist, and find out in March (or even April) about some acceptance, I’d be just fine with it as some of my decisions don’t even come until then.</p>
I’m applying to psychology. I’m graduating from a suburban high school one year early (as a junior) when I applied my gpa was a 4.32 (w) and 3.82 (uw) and a 28 act. What are my chances?
