@goldencub the question I asked them was actually about a course not offered at my community college. This is the exact text from the email (keep in mind that I am OOS, so it might be a little different)
"Thank you for your email. If you’re applying into the College of Engineering, it is imperative that you complete all required courses. I would recommend checking with the University of Illinois, and possibly seeing if they offer an equivalent course online.
Best,
Undergraduate Admissions Staff"
I guess it wasn’t as “finish everything or you don’t be considered” as I remember it being.
