Ok I found it on Reddit. This person went on to break down the actual number of applicants which put these in perspective. Some of these majors get fewer applicants which account for higher acceptance rates
Whoās ready to play the portal astrology game? lolā¦
One indicator of course is the possibility of being able to access the admitted student events very close to decision notification. Donāt even try it before tomorrow morning.
Another thing I have found is reference to some ānumber 98ā, with no clarity of what it means and where/how to look for it. Someone posted about it on this thread yāday, but that post has since disappeared.

Expect tomorrowās results to be brutalā¦ the class of 2029 not only has to pay the price for inadvertent overenrollment in 2028, but if other colleges are any indication there will be a new record number of applications at UIUC too. Then thereās a probable increase of in-state transfer students which might exacerbate the housing shortage (https://wgntv.com/news/illinois/u-of-i-system-guarantees-admission-for-illinois-high-school-grads-looking-to-transfer/amp/).

Iām all for progressive policies, but āguaranteeingā admissions without even making sure you have the capacity and resources to support high quality education is irresponsible. First, it makes the students who worked hard and took pride in earning their place feel stupid, and then you also dilute their academic experience.

I agree that applications and likely up and the admissions rate will go down just like itās been since 2021. However the transfer guarantee doesnāt guarantee a specific campus so those transfers still need to meet the criteria just as they always have. It will be interesting to see the data for transfers after this admission cycle.

There is a minimum GPA required and they are not guaranteed Urbana.

That makes better sense, particularly the campus part.

FWIW, as this is my 3rd go-around (have one graduating this Spring at UCI and a second year at UMich), TRY to treasure your last half year with your kiddos before they leave the nest. May decisions will be here soon enough and your kid, wherever they end up, will be just fine!! Fittingly, trust the processā¦ 
Youāll look back and be glad you did.

Same. I wonder if there are some who still get the option to withdraw, in which case it could be a sign.

Mine still same as it ever wasā¦.
are you clicking on it?
Sorry, just want to make sure weāre doing the same thing. I also still see the option, but when I click on it, I see the same message what OP mentioned.
same was it like this before
The withdraw button is still there but Iām afraid to press on it. Is your button gone? Or is the button there but the link doesnāt work when you press on it?
Edit: nevermind. I see your recent post
not being able to withdraw (if some others still can) can mean 3 things:-
- It will eventually be blocked for everyone as they are uploading results, in which case it means nothing
- You are accepted
- You are rejected, not deferred.
