Sorry, my mistake!
Your admission status will be updated this Friday, December 14, after 4 p.m.
Before Friday, make sure you’re able to access your myIllini account. On Friday, log in to myIllini and click on your application for admission to view your status update.
I’ve noticed that basically all colleges update people’s status on the portal instead of sending out an email. Does anyone know why this is? (The email sometimes comes later, but it’s almost always on the portal first)
Might be faster or more secure that way? I’m not sure.
Does anyone know the likelihood of receiving merit money when applying EA?
None of my close or ext. family who have attended Illinois have ever received that kind of aid and there are almost 20 of them.
I’m applying bioenginnering, which is itself very competitive, but I’m not so much worried about getting in as I am about getting in but not being able to pay for it. Anyone else got that multiple siblings in college feel?
My D16 was accepted to the College if Applied Health Sciences. Stats were decent: ACT 33, rank 3/115, 3.9 (UW) 4.65 (W). In-state. No legacy. She was accepted as a James Scholar. Merit scholarship… $2,500/year. That’s it. We chalked it up to Illinois (the state) being Illinois and is too broke to give free money even if you have good HS grades.
On Common App (or the stand-alone app - I don’t recall what she used back then for UIUC), she didn’t ask for FA.
D16 went somewhere else.
D19 has better stats and also applied to AHS. We’ll see tonight what she gets.
I don’t see any update after logging into myilli account. Are they releasing decisions in batches?
Today at 4 PM CT @eager2019
@jaydata thanks. I was confused by the post of @ChicagoSportsFn
LOL. Sorry about the confusion. Yes, I tried to answer the question in post #23 by providing the experience of my older D. ?
Good luck tonight. My D19 is waiting too.
a lot of nervous energy today. :-S
Ready for CS rejection…I didn’t realize that they don’t look at the coalition app essay until a couple days after submission and my illinois-specific essay is like a 5/10. Counting on my 1550 to get me in

LOL
