University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Mathematics Graduate School Admission Results

I'm so excited! "It is our pleasure to inform you that the School of Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) has recommended you for admission to the Graduate College at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. If the Graduate College approves your admission into the MCB Ph.D. program, they will issue your official notice of admission to the University."

Any news? Interviews or visit day invitation?

Formal offer from the department. Systems, architecture

There was an interview first. Honestly, I didn't know that master's requires an interview.

Had an interview.

TTPB: is this for the standard MS CS? When did you apply?

Latino male, two papers @ SPIE conference, two papers @ student conference, mix of professional (1) and academic (2) LOR's

I officially received my acceptance from this school on 2/3/2021, but they offered me a funding package for both the master to PhD program and direct PhD program in November. I do not have a faculty advisor and I did not get interviewed beforehand during the months leading up to my acceptance, but I did attend a virtual visit around October to talk with faculty about their department (I believe their were around 10 people in that call). Also, this virtual visit was held for EMERGE participants which basically meant that when I took the GRE I chose to let EMERGE use my info to send to colleges. Regarding the comments about the virtual visit being held in March, I too have been receiving those emails so I do not know if that means people made it past the first round of admission. As for my qualifications to get in, I had a 3.62 Major GPA in Mechanical Engineering from University of California, Merced and I have only done one semester of research (which I am doing this semester). Hopefully, this info helps the people asking about the admission to UIUC, I wish you all the best of luck.

TTPB: Thanks a lot for the information you provided. Please keep us posted for further responses. Should we start emailing POIs after we get acceptance mails from the department. All I have till now is an invite.

TTPB: email response about Virtual visiting...... 1. Does this mean that I passed the first round of the admission process? Or Is this email distributed to all applicants? : We only invited students that have met the requirements for admission to our graduate program. 2. During Virtual Visit Day, do I have to find my potential advisor and secure commitment for my funding? to be considered for admission? : Students in the PHD program must have a faculty member who will advise their program and provide funding. If you do not find an advisor we can recode your admission to a later semester to allow you more time to fine one. 3. How can I make appointments with AE faculties who I'm interested in? there seems to be no guideline in this email. :We will send that information in a separate email closer to the visit date.

accepted with full funding! Over the moon

Recommended for admissions!
