<p>Sushi cutter- I've been told that Urbana likes to defer a lot of candidates until they receive all the applications. You have a pretty good chance of getting in later, I think</p>
<p>Beast- What school did you apply to?</p>
<p>I am ecstatic. I screamed and started jumping around hugging everyone :P</p>
<p>dang! really? you should have been admitted! great stats!</p>
<p>i applied to comp engineering
redlight, who are you talking about?</p>
<p>I'm talking about fiN01.</p>
<p>I got admitted in Electrical Engineering, Electrical & Computer Eng Department. Yeah!</p>
<p>Son got accepted to alternate program.....Didn't get accepted into bioengineering, got accepted into general engineering:</p>
<p>ACT 36
SAT 2310
National Merit Semifinalist
Good EC's--not much leadership
3.8 Unweighted, 5.441 weighted
top 1% of class
Lots of APs most rigorous</p>
<p>I guess his essays didn't show passion toward bioengineering...i hear it's the toughest to get into.</p>
<p>decision: admit</p>
<p>28 act/ 3.92 weighed gpa/ 18 out of 416 class rank</p>
<p>another quick question
since i applied for an alternate major (economics in LAS)
getting defered means i am not even qualified for admission into LAS?
so pretty much they're defering me from the whole university not the business school ( which is my first choice)?</p>
<p>d101parent--really? with a 36 ACT?! unbelievable.</p>
<p>^^^Yes. I kid you not. I'm kind of surprised, but like I said, I guess his essays needed to show some passion for it, and they didn't.</p>
<p>paul09 you got admitted??</p>
<p>i have almost the same exact stats and i got denied</p>
<p>I got into the computer engineering program but do you think the electrical engineering program is better?</p>
<p>I was Admit- Alternate Decision.</p>
<p>First choice was Bioengineering but got accepted to Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.</p>
<p>ACT: 32
GPA: 3.92/4.34</p>
<p>One question, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at UIUC is in the College of Liberal Arts and Science, why is this? Is it still considered to be a engineering major?</p>
<p>EDIT: after seeing the post above getting denied to Bioeng with those stats, I can see how hard it must be to get into.</p>
<p>Beast, acceptances are not global...they vary with intended major. if you applied engineering and he applied elsewhere with similar stats you might get denied and he might get accepted. Also, stats are not everything.</p>
<p>"One question, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at UIUC is in the College of Liberal Arts and Science, why is this? Is it still considered to be a engineering major?"</p>
<p>Historical. Chem E added over 100 years ago when Chem Dept in LAS had the labs that could deal with it not engineering college. Though LAS, it is treated for essentially all purposes as an engineering college dept -- it follows the same admission standards, meets with other engineering heads, has same required courses for all engineering students, awards the same BS engineering degree and student transfers between it and other engineering departments are treated as interdepartmental transfers rather than intercollege transfers (which are harder to do).</p>
<p>^^^^Drusda...Really about the transfers between Chem E and the others? Oh! That is why we were so freaked out about it when they were going to put my son in Chem E!! Well, he will be happier in Industrial ...General Engineering. It kind of has a business, real-world edge to it. Thanks Again Drusda for being so knowledgeable and helpful.</p>
<p>deferred?!?</p>
<p>Asian
act: 28
rank: 133/445
all honors/ap classes</p>
<p>retook october act and got a 29, and i sent it kinda late so they didnt get it until late november. could this be why???</p>
<p>^Please specify what major/college! You can't go by the school as a whole!</p>
<p>Depending on which college you applied to, I would say that your ACT probably made the cut but the rank was what hurt you... I don't think they would have weighed a 29 much more than a 28 ACT</p>
<p>to everyone who was accepted, congratulations and hope to c'ya in the fall. for those deferred don't give up, the fights not over yet.</p>
<p>I was deferred with a 3.5 UW GPA, 1470/1600 SAT, and pretty much the most rigorous courseload.</p>
<p>Whatdahellllllllll?!?!?</p>
