<p>Hi everyone. I just got deferred at this school. <em>Sad-face</em>. Anyway, should I send in anything from between now and February? I recently got a Illinois Scholar's type of award. According to the counselor it is for (I think) the top 10% of all Illinois seniors or something along the lines of that. Would sending in something like that help my chances? Or does UIUC condemn sending supplemental material?</p>
<p>There is no bar to updating such things as awards received by sending a letter for your file although one you mention is probably not going to make any difference. Deferred students have been known to send new test scores from December SAT or ACT tests and those will be considered. Deferral does not mean you have been rejected and many particularly in business and engineering get deferred and later get admitted.</p>
