For the two years before this year, there were no early action admission decisions. UIUC has returned to doing that this year. When there was an early action admission decision in December, both the business college and the engineering college deferred large numbers until the regular decision date. Typically, about 70% of those deferred by the two colleges were later admitted to the university although not necessarily to their chosen majors. Whether this year will be similar is not yet known.
