I've applied regular decision to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and I'm curious about when decisions are released and if there's anything else I should be aware of during this waiting period. Thanks for any info!
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's (UIUC) regular decision notifications typically start rolling out in mid-February, although exact dates can vary from year to year. Your application portal is the best place to check for updates about your application status.
One thing to remember during this waiting period is that your senior year grades still matter. UIUC, like other universities, wants to see continued academic success through your last year of high school. So keep focusing on maintaining or even improving your grades.
Also, if you haven't already done so, now might be a good time to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). It will determine your Student Aid Index (SAI), which schools like UIUC use to award financial aid. By doing this now, you'll have a better idea of the financial aid you could receive if accepted.
Overall, the key is to stay patient and focused on the things within your control. Best of luck!
