For which major and which college were you guys waitlisted by UIUC?
I was waitlisted for Chemical Engineering College of LAS
Anyone has any updates? Or anyone who has spoken to the admission dept.?
Computer Science, CoE
My son applied for Mech Engg at UIUC. He has been waitlisted.
- IF he is offered from the waitlist, from past experience, will it be: a) Undeclared incl arts etc, b) Major u have chosen ie Mech in his case, or c) Undeclared but within the Engg school.
- If a or c, at end of first yr, will the allocation be based on PCM & mech engg grades or a separate test or something else?
I was wait listed for computer science engineering
Does anybody have Any sort of wait list news, update or info?
It appears that majority are from Computer Science and Computer Engineers in the Waitlist.
They simply couldnt reject tons of overqualified CS applicants
Any Wait list update??
The UIUC blog said that if you get in off the waitlist, they typically notify you in June. Some people may hear as early as the end of May. It just depends.
I just got this in my email :
Dear XXXX,
Thank you for your interest in attending the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
You previously requested to be placed on our wait list should any spaces become available in the College of Engineering after May 1. Unfortunately, the College of Engineering has filled all available seats in its freshman class, and we’re unable to offer you admission.
We wish you the best in your educational pursuits. Thanks again for your interest in Illinois.
Hey guys,
I got wait listed my senior year in 2014. I wanted to go to uiuc badly. I ended up appealing my decision for another major where I made my case and showed my incredible interest in the university. I recommend doing the same or looking into it. Best of luck
