Any other Industrial Design applicants?
DO UIUC superscore? How is their Merit scholarship for international students?
UIUC ‘superscores themselves’ so what that means is you still report both SAT’s and they say they will look at the highest… but I feel like they still look at the other one’s also.
Man I hope computer engineering is not too competitive this year… hopefully everyone just tried computer science.
I dont think I would want to go for my second choice major (statistics)
does UIUC offer merit scholarships? If yes, then is it available for international students also?
@squid123 my son is also applying Industrial Design
You do realize that Indian students only have to report 10th Board results right? They do not consider your school grades.
What time does our EA decisions come out?? Anybody?
according to what I have read on this thread it is going to be between 3:00 PM CST and 4:00 PM CST.
@rick78 yeah they do offer them i think you’re automatically considered for them. not sure for international students though
