Re: Calling all Urbana-Champaign Applicants: (2016 Intake) Class of 2018!! [#permalink]
Hi, I am an international applicant. I applied to UIUC around mid Feb.
I haven't heard from the Add Comm since.
I emailed them a couple of times, they said they are still reviewing the application.

Re: Calling all Urbana-Champaign Applicants: (2016 Intake) Class of 2018!! [#permalink]
Any idea about placement scenario for international students at Illinois MBA?
Considering the H1B visa gamble, how willing are the companies to hire the international students from UIUC?

VoyagerII any insights on this?

I spoke to an international student but all i got was that its difficult for international students (and that its the same across all B schools) but some companies do hire international MBA grads and even sponsor for visa. But what if you don't win the visa lottery?

Anyone has any info on this?

Thank you. There are about 46 students in this Facebook group now. Do you think the adcom will still be giving more admissions for international students at this point?

Congrats Keats on your great news!!!

VoyagerII: Thanks. Since I'm not on fb, and learned about the fact that there is no https://gmatclub.com/chat group for the admitted students, I am taking the responsibility of creating one. To all the admitted students, please PM me your mobile number and in case you know of any https://gmatclub.com/chat group that is already running, please educate me.
terumoo: The school has reduced its count to 60 this year and I am assuming that many students have not joined the fb group. So, we really can't say. Although I feel that there must be a few more candidates that will be picked up. Don't give up unless you hear from them.

Just send them a gentle reminder saying that you're waiting to hear from them.

I mailed my interviewer last to last week, they told me results would be disclosed within a week.
Still haven't heard. Anyone in the same boat?

Does the school do a background verification for admitted students with professional services such as Kroll?
