Congratulations to everyone who has been accepted.

I know that UIUC is not known for huge merit awards but when would those be released if they are offered? Does anyone have any sense of that?

Does UIUC send postal mail on acceptance ?

I got accepted to UIUC, one question I am not able to see anything until and unless I don’t accept the offer. Is this with every one

What do you mean by “see anything”?

Yes. There is not much you can do on the portal before accepting the offer. You can attend admitted student events to help you decide. But I see that these events can be hard to search and schedule as there are college/department specific sessions offered on different days.

Means I have to accept offer to unlock netid or for housing info

This is the first college I am seeing has this kind of restriction, can’t access anything without accepting offer, or I am doing something wrong?

Not sure I see a problem, unless you are worried about housing which is guaranteed.

I’m surprised other schools would give you a net id to admitted applicants that haven’t accepted their offer. You can’t apply for housing until you accept anyways.

Maybe not net id, but the schools have a whole jumble of names. For example, UMD wants you to create a directory id after admission to register for a admitted student event.

Yes mostly worried about housing

Housing assignment at UIUC are in late May or early June so you aren’t missing out on anything right now. Freshman are given a randomly assigned time slot in which they can access the housing portal to select their room.

I believe that is the case. No email like that yet from engineering for us, and I’d love to know when it might come if anyone knows?

When does UIUC send financial packages? Any hope for merit money if in state student?

Fwiw my nephew was a tippy top in state student accepted to UIUC. He got into a Harvard, Duke, MIT as well, for context. I believe UiUC gave him $2k/year. Expect nothing but anything will be a bonus.
