yeah, I got the same date. How does that work since don’t you need to commit to a school by May 1st?
You pay the deposit for the school you plan to go to by may 1, and if you get accepted and attend UIUC you drop your old school.

A lot of people were asking for stats so here is my profile.
Decision:Accepted
I applied from India EA
Major:Computer Science
ACT: 36/36
SAT Subject Test: Maths 2 and Chemistry-800/800
Grades: 10th-96.6%(School 3rd, All India CS Topper); 11th-94%(Both mid year and finals-school topper); 12th-99.25%(School Topper)
APs-I just gave the papers, as my school follows the Indian board ICSE/ISC and does not offer classes. Calculus BC, Physics C Mechanics, Chemistry, Computer Science A, and EVS-all 5
ECs: I did a lot of STEM related work. Full details regarding my profile is available on my site here: https://www.arhaanaggarwal.com/
Essays: I think I wrote a good UIUC Essay which showed a lot of interest(looks like it worked). Overall I’d rate my essay if not a 10, then a 9.5 out of 10.

If you are referring to undeclared engineering, it is easiest way to get into most sought after engineering disciplines.

Why didn’t I choose an alternative major, but I did not get my first choice. I only have a first chocie----Mechanical Engineering. But I have been admitted by Engineering mechanics. Does anyone know why？
Correct, but then you forfeit the deposit at committed school, should you get off the waitlist from UIUC.
How easy is it to transfer to CS?
