</code></pre>

</code></pre>
<p>General Comments: Probably not going to go. University of Pittsburgh is offering me full tuition and possibly full ride, but having options is never a bad thing. It’s going to take a UChicago/Stanford/Harvard acceptance to turn me away from Pitt.</p>

<p>Accepted to Engineering - Computer Science. Hoping for a scholarship now :)</p>
<p>@drusba- okay… do you know what the acceptance rate is for college of education after deferral?</p>
<p>ACCEPTED! </p>
<p>Script is not working, so here we go: </p>
<p>Female, White, 3rd gen college student, 250000+ income, Accepted to Nuclear Engineering, 30 ACT, 3.75 unweighted, 3.95 weighted, I think my essays were pretty decent… Well written and really expressed my personality and a love for learning. 14/166. So a small school. Public, of course. No AP whatever classes. We do have Dual Enrollment though, so my whole senior year is mad of mainly challenged college courses. Well, they are all college courses, but I am taking physical conditioning. </p>
<p>Congrats to all other who were accepted. To those deferred… Don’t give up. (: </p>
<p>I think I’m going to go to UW Madison there. It was my first choice. It’s so beautiful there!</p>
<p>i am also utterly speechless.</p>

</ul>
<p>Reflection
- Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: My unweighted GPA is only a 3.4…but still
General Comments: This was a stiff kick to the gonads considering I thought I was almost definitely in.</p>
<p>Admit LAS, denied Business. Grrrr.</p>
<p>@BenTheMan</p>
<p>How did you get admitted to LAS and not Business??
I’m in Illinois and it just says deferred to Business but nothing about an alternative acceptance.</p>
<p>It says “Admit- Alternate Choice.” And my alternate choice was LAS. </p>
<p>I honestly don’t care, there’s a 0% chance I’m going here.</p>
<p>Sounds like biz was tough to get into this year. Soccerdude - the u of i loves high unweighted gpa’s. You’ll likely get in during regular decision.</p>

General Comments:
I am really happy to be accepted to UIUC as it is a really successful university in the field of computer science. Among other schools that I’ve been accepted, I can say that UIUC is my first choice.</p>
<p>it says ‘denied-review’.
does this mean that I still have chance to get in? or is it just deny?</p>
