Letters from Illinois are out! I got my acceptance today (I'm on campus, so others should be getting them later this week)!!
Congratulations!!!
Those tricksters...did your status page change?
I guess I'm SOL because I'm in IL and haven't gotten anything. And by SOL, I mean Rejecto. I knew I shouldn't have made that comment about vets being swindling crooks...
Drats, do you suppose that is why we haven't received letters yet? Now I'm going to start stalking the mailman again.
I'm surprised at the speed as well...we got TWO snow days last week.
I called Illinois today---I know I shouldn't have-----they said that a batch of letters were sent out last Thursday and yesterday.
I'm assuming that Thursday's batch was all acceptances, and yesterday's batch was a handful of acceptances that they had to think about a little longer, along with all of the rejections
actually, during the information session the dean said that the out-of-state waitlist doesn't move at all-- they accept about four times as many out-of-staters than they expect to enroll, so unless tons and tons of people turn down their offers they don't take any off the list...
here's to hoping we won't have to worry about waitlists!!! 😳

Wouldn't it be funny if most of the out of staters decided to accept their offer of admission?

LOLOLOLOL, no comment.

I was at the info session two years ago with a friend of mine who interviewed and some asked that question... they said they would let them all come, and would just be really really squished in the classrooms!
What on Earth? I don't understand this accepted but not accepted thing. Don't tell me other schools do this too?!?
Still waiting for my letter over here...![]()
Side note, I'm of course checking my Illinois online application status once a day JUST IN CASE something magical appears to tell me my current status. Anyways, did the UIN category always appear under our Optional Personal Information section? What is UIN?
FYI UIN is short for university identification number. it's blank unless you previously worked for or were a student at one of the U of I campuses.
Here's a question for you: I lived in Chicago at the time I applied to vet schools, therefore was instate for illinois. i grew up in mass, got an interview at tufts. Does anyone else think that U of I's facilities are really outdated and unaccomodating? i mean, i went to a large state school for undergrad and i'm not spoiled, but how do you deal with the nagging feeling that you're going to get a subpar education at your state school? do you decline and just apply to different schools next year? or is this a sign that my drive isn't strong enough to get past the 115 person classes and less opps in wildlife/research?
