2018-2019 University of Illinois

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Mid September. If you interviewed at that time and don’t have anything on the portal there’s a good chance you will get an acceptance email on Friday
Yeah a good chance one gets accepted or rejected but not deferred. Given the statistics we were given during the interview, I'd say Jay is making an assumption that one is most likely to get accepted given one did not mess up on the interview.
 
People who interviewed: did your status change from "forwarded ..." to "under consideration..." before, or right when, you received your II?

Are there people who have interviewed that still only have the "forwarded..." line?

Interviewed 12/03, saw that I was switched to "Forwarded to admissions committee" at least 1 day after (checked 12/04) but I'm unsure if it changed at all when I received my II

It's doesn't say "under consideration" right now?
 
I think the whole "status" thing is smoke and mirrors and doesn't really mean anything. I think most people who interviewed through mid-November will hear back tomorrow, December 14. That's what they said at my interview.
On one hand I am excited to know that I will most likely hear back tomorrow, but on the other hand I am completed terrified to actually find out. This is my top choice 😀
 
Does anyone know how difficult it is to obtain an OOS scholarship here? As it stands, the tuition of 90k+ is unreasonable for me, although I loved my interview day here.

During my visit, I was told less than 10 students will get OOS scholarships per year. 127k cost of attendance is pretty rough. Love the school but we will see.
 
Any idea when emails will be sent/portal will be updated tomorrow? Not trying to be surprised by it...
 
Good luck to everyone waiting to hear today! Hope you all get good news.

For those who have already heard back, has anyone gotten their letter in the mail yet or any additional information besides the original acceptance email/portal updates?
 
The admissions office lady said that it takes time because the offers have to be entered in manually, but to just keep checking the online portal. I asked if they were all going to be sent out today and she said "hopefully". So I'm guessing most people will get offers by the end of the day today with perhaps some carrying over to next week.

Guess I'll go back to neurotically refreshing my email and portal now lol
