2016-2017 University of Illinois Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
So I just got some info that the *potential* process is that each month a slim few from that months interviews are accepted, and the rest who remain "Decision Pending" will not be looked at again until March, not every month as some were saying. Can anyone speak on this? Has anyone who remained Decision Pending in the October or November meetings been accepted in this December meeting?
 
No II and I got this. I assume it is a rejection.

"A final decision was made on your application on . Please allow two-weeks to receive the correspondence in the mail. If you do not receive this correspondence in two-weeks, please contact the Admissions Office. No decision will be given over the telephone."

This is what was discussed during te dean's message at the interview. Last year it seems a few people talked to admissions and were told they would be reviewed each meeting if they didn't receive a "hold" email, but it seems to be different this year. During the dean's message he said they extended too many acceptances last year so are being more cautious with offers this year.

do you think being more cautious just means they are giving out less acceptances for now, and then they'll give out more after march/april? also, just wondering, does the school have a dean of admissions? i thought it was the director of admissions who talked to us, but i could be wrong.

At this point I would only be speculating. As much as it sucks, I'm thinking we are going to just have to wait and see 🙁. Just wanted to relay some info that came directly from the presentation.

As far as who exactly it was that gave the presentation, I'm not sure that really matters for helping answer the "Decision Pending" mystery. According to the itinerary, it says "Dean's Welcome."
 
Anyone who received the Final Decision + additional correspondence update to their portal on 12/15, have you gotten anything in the mail yet? When will they be mailing out decisions?

Did that come with an additional correspondence box also?
 
They also send emails to those who are accepted. So keep your eyes open for an email. I believe this started recently.

Did you interview already?
Seeing that you're a new user, just letting you know II = interview invite - seen it often mistaken for meaning "secondary" (and understandably so lol)

Anyways, I can't tell you for sure but based on previous threads it doesn't seem to be a good sign, sorry 🙁

Sorry to hear. If you don't mind me asking, wondering when your secondary was complete and when you took your Casper? Trying to get a sense of where they're at in their app review. Thanks.

Nothing besides the placement letter!
 
Hey everyone,
I'm at the Peoria campus. I know that we're about to start accepting M1 students to our campus. I'll be the first one to tell you that you're lucky you don't have to go thru urbana's old 1900 building.

PSA: The Class of 2021 Facebook group is up. Even though it says "Chicago campus," last year everyone first joined the Chicago page, then later the admins created a UPR-specific page (Urbana-Peoria-Rockford) for those students. They might do something similar this time too.

How did you choose your placement?

When you get accepted, you get a packet in the mail with a few forms to fill out and submit. One of those forms lets you rank your placement preferences between Chicago, Peoria and Rockford. They then assign campuses on a first-come-first-serve basis. Usually, Chicago will fill up first, meaning that people in later interview slots will likely get Peoria or Rockford placement.
