Hello,

I joined this forum after reading a thread that was very surprising to me. I read on the UIUC board that once I apply to a desired school of my choice at UIUC and do not make it, then I get automatically considered for DGS.
So, for example, I am currently a high school student applying for UIUC’s business school. I will be applying for their early decision application. If I do not get accepted, does this mean that I will still get considered for DGS??

One more question… If my GPA is 3.4 UW/ 4.2 Weighted and 30 ACT, am I better off applying to DGS from the start?(Considering that I will not automatically be considered for DGS after denial)

Thank you so much for your help.
