<p>I'm a reporter with the Chicago Tribune and I'm looking for applicants who appealed their rejections to UIUC this year. I can be reached at <a href="mailto:jscohen@tribune.com">jscohen@tribune.com</a>
Thank you, Jodi</p>
<p>You can appeal the decision? And here I always though such things were final.</p>
<p>^ lol boneh3ad, they only brought in the appeal thing this year. after the whole UIUC admission scandal last year</p>
<p>Meh… seems like the correct course of action was just firing everyone, not opening up an avenue for a bunch of distraught kids and their parents to complain to the admissions departments. Seems like a bad idea to me.</p>
<p>Bone,</p>
<p>If you don’t like the appeal process, you can appeal their decision to have it…</p>
<p>Eh, I just feel like it would create more problems than it is worth.</p>
