Great can you share the stats
Thanks. He applied to CS as first choice major. Thinking of choosing Maths plus CS in the appeal as major now, will that help?
its 1580 SAT

No, that major won’t work because it’s not allowed as a second choice major selection. He can ask the AO what they recommend when he calls about appealing.
oh I called them and gave example for Maths plus CS major and he said yes that can be filled
Surprising, but I defer to the UIUC staffer. Good luck.

Technically, Mathematics and Computer Science is not a CS+X. It is in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and not Grainger College of Engineering. So it should be allowed for a second choice major. You’re probably still facing an uphill battle since you’ve been denied, but it can’t hurt to try! Good luck!

Thank you. Yes he said it is allowed but for that matter any CS major and even Maths+CS is equally competitive and one can only get in if someone leaves which rarely happens. But I am still planning to try my luck by appealing.

Deferred means applicant is still being considered for first choice in RD. Going forward, they will be put into the RD pool for first choice. If first choice is a no, then they will be considered for second choice.

Thank you! Hopefully being deferred is better than being placed in your second choice EA, unless they fill up competitive majors EA.

Accepted to College of Applied Health. Is it possible to double major with a major in Arts & Sciences, while being registered in AHS? Or is it possible to transfer? e.g. a double major in Health Administration and Statistics or Economics?
Wanted to circle back on this. I agree Math and CS is not a CS+X major, it is called a blended major. Blended majors are also not allowed as second choice majors when one applies to UIUC (same as CS+X majors)…hence my surprise at what @killkam reported. Regardless I wish @killkam good luck on the appeal.

Does the University of Illinois mail an acceptance packet to admitted students? Just curious to see if UIUC still notifies the old school way.

They did last year. They also had a number of virtual events for admitted students and they kept us informed very well.
