<p>Do priority applicants receive their decisions earlier? I've seen the UIUC official blog release decisions for applications that met the priority honors filing deadline (Nov 1) in December:</p>

<p><a href="http://blog.admissions.illinois.edu/?p=10756"&gt;http://blog.admissions.illinois.edu/?p=10756&lt;/a>
<a href="http://blog.admissions.illinois.edu/?p=7296"&gt;http://blog.admissions.illinois.edu/?p=7296&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>In these two years (2009 and 2011) UIUC has sent decisions on December 17. However, the current website only says in general that applicants will receive decisions on February 13. Anyone know anything about this?</p>

<p>No, the only benefit in applying priority is for honors program consideration. It clearly says that on the website</p>

<p>The annoying countdown emails should say the 13th.</p>
