<p>Yeah, 22 AP Classes. I go to a regular public school. Taking that many isn’t uncommon at all at my school. And I didn’t take all the exams; and the ones I did take I did badly on.</p>
<p>I’m reasonably certain the knockout on my application was that horrible princess essay. I read through it today and I purely can’t believe I actually used that rotten, pretentious piece of filth.</p>
<p>I applied for undergrad at UIUC…i applied to bioengineering, with civil as my second choice, and the decision says Admit - Alternative Choice…and the program that’s listed is civil, does this mean i’m in civil? or does it mean i might be changed from civil to something else? in other words, what program is listed in the application status when the decision column says Admit - Alternative Choice? is the program you are in? or something else?</p>

<p>I unfortunately didn’t get in all my stuff to make the priority deadline. On my decision status it says: Pending - Manual Review Req. Does that just mean that they have started to look at my application or might they send my decision sooner than the Feb. 19th notification? I submitted my application before the Nov. 1st deadline, but the problem was that my school didn’t send my transcripts until later on, they arrived Nov. 10th.</p>
<p>As noted manual review simply means there is a computer field missing info that someone has to manualy fill in such as class rank if your high school does not rank. Otherwise, it means nothing special. Decisions for those not notified last week will be released Feb 19 most likely. I say most likely because last year in February they actually moved the date up a little and issued them a few days earlier than originally set.</p>
<p>If you can’t get an answer to your question on this forum, I can’t imagine any other forum that would be of use. You’re at the point where you have very detailed questions that can only be answered by university personnel directly, and the answers you get will be much more reliable. Call, or write, if you feel more comfortable doing so. College Confidential will become less and less useful after the admit. You also need to visit, if you have not already done so, and see how things are face-to-face.</p>

<p>…I know this is a hard school to get into, but I didn’t know it was THAT hard. Since when is Illinois more competitive than Michigan? (which i got into…)</p>
