<p>Hi,
Decisions will be announced on December 17th and I think it is time for a decisions thread.</p>

<p>You can discuss anything about decisions until they are announced. After they are announced, you can also indicate your stats in the following format.</p>

<p>Good luck all!</p>

<p>Thank you silverturtle. It will be interesting if we attend the same college since you are the one who proofread my essay. :)</p>

5

<p>Do you guys think an out of state 31 ACT and a 3.0 uw/ 3.3 w GPA will get deferred?</p>

6

<p>You’d probably get deferred. If you applied to engineering or business, you may even get a deny.</p>

7

<p>If you are not good enough for your major of choice you are automatically considered for an undecided major. You will only get a deny if you are still not good enough for that.</p>

<p>I applied EA to Engineering with a 3.2/3.6 and a 31 ACT. I’m in state. So far my application status has re-listed me from engineering to the undecided major. </p>

<p>I was expecting to be deferred/denied from Engineering, however after being accepted into Purdue’s First Year Engineering(I know it’s less selective, but their Engineering school is still pretty selective)as an OOS my hopes for Illinois got a little better. I guess it doesn’t matter, only 4 days to go.</p>

8

<p>What are my chances of getting accepted?</p>

<p>I live in illinois, my gpa is a 3.4 overall, my act is a 30.
my school doesn’t rank or weight gpas.
my sister attends u of i currently.
I applied undeclared.</p>

9

<p>Ya I got accepted into Purdue also, but my major is actuarial science, which U of I is well known for</p>

10

<p>So if my major on the app status is still business, is that a good sign that I will be admitted into the business school?
2040 sat, about 3.5/4.1 gpa</p>

11

<p>But I’m OOS…</p>

12

<p>is your Application Type Priority or Regular?</p>

13

<p>Priority :)</p>

14

<p>It’s really too hard to tell, it could be switched to DGS at any time, you could be accepted to Business, or you could just be completely denied. Just try to keep your sanity for 4 more days and you’ll know.</p>

15

<p>What do you mean that your application was re-listed? Did the parts that say what college/program you applied for change from engineering to undecided? </p>

<p>Mine still says bioengineering on it, so does that mean they are considering me for that program?</p>

16

<p>do u think i would be denied with 31 act and 4.17 gpa?
for engineering</p>

17

<p>aw man. well in case we all do get in, where’s everyone thinking about dorming?</p>

18

<p>what does your application status say?</p>

19

<p>

Yes.</p>

<p>

Weighted GPA is irrelevant - post your unweighted for an accurate chance.</p>

<p>

See below.

<p>Haven’t thought about it yet - my cousin went there a few years ago and he said he’d fill me in on best dorms, ect. I’m sure discussions will start after the 17th.</p>
